Great video man!!! I was just hoping to see my yellow bronco on there. Oh well, maybe next time. The music was an added bonus. Good job. Hope we get to see some more.

Considering my motor never actually started,anyone got experience with hydrolock. For sure I bent 1 rod but should i pull the crank any check everything down to the bearings, or just pull the bent rod and replace it. what are the chances it bent the crank?? any suggestions would be helpful..

:'(jEFF I WISH THAT WAS A POSSIBILITY TO RUN IT. IT WAS NOT WATER IT WAS FUEL. THE CYLINDERS ARE DRY NOW AND PLUGS ARE OUT AND IT WILL NOT TURN WITH A BREAKER BAR ON THE CRANK. I BELIEVE I HAVE A ROD WEDGED IN A CYLINDER. WONT TURN EITHER WAY. TO TIGHT CLEARANCE OF BETWEEN RODS AND BLOCK. I HATE TO HAVE TO DO IT WITH ONLY 1 RACE ON IT AFTER A COMPLETE WINTER REBUILD BUT TO MAKE SURE ALL THE OTHER RODS ARE GOOD,CRANK STRAIGHT,AND NO CRAKED CYLINDER WALLS IT WILL BE TORN DOWN ONLY 3 WEEKS AFTER IT WAS PUT BACK TOGETHER. I HATE THIS SPORT THINK I WILL TRY SOMETHING CHEAPER AND LESS ADDICTIVE LIKE COCAIN...  |

Not sure what happened to get the fuel in the cylinders, im assumeing the floats were stuck when I turned on the elec. pump and filled the cylinders. The heads are only 49cc so it does not take a lot to fill them.(i guess). 15.1 compression. I dont think the starter has that much torgue but the motor did try to fire and stoped before one complete turn. The first compression stroke on the filled cylinder stopped everything. This is all assumption for now till I get it apart. I will let you. It WILL be ready for your next race even if I gotta knock over a bank...can that be used as evidence? |

Dont worry Sam. LIma is out but at your next race I will bring the super boil 5000 master shrimp pot out. Throw in about 15-20 pounds of shrimp,taters,onions,sweetcorn and whatever else we can find laying around in the mud that looks good. Ill bet we can even get McQ over to try a platter. ;D Good luck at Lima

Rod, Im figuring you called Jeff S? What did he say. You just got it rebuilt right... im figuring there must be some sort of grace period with 2 passes?

Mike, I talked to Jeff and explained what happened. He said best to pull it and get it over asap. After all the top end was unbolted I went under to take off the converter bolts and starter, I found a tooth broke off the flexplate and jammed between the starter. When I unbolted the starter the motor could be turned over by hand. Knowing there was still gas in the cylinder I still pulled it and took it over. He is suppose to call tomarrow and let me know what he finds after pulling the pan and looking at a borescope. With the engine turning over, maybe I didnt hurt it as bad as I originally thought. Hopefully it didnt bend anything and that tooth jamming was the problem.. ???This was in no way a builder error so I dont expect any grace period ...As busy as Jeff is he is working on it already..Great service to loyal customers...I gotta figure out why the fuel got into the cylinders so fast. Going to check out the floats tuesday a.m. I will post more as I hear from Jeff..

Sounds like Jeff got the pan pulled and all the clearancesfor the rods look fine.Pulled the mains and rod bearings and they are o.k. also (going to buy lottery tickets) Seems to me the only problem after i got the fuel out of the cylinders was the flex plate tooth jammed inbetween the starter.
