All depends on how you pitch your blades. You can let her spin or hold her back.

You need to install a primer system on that motor. Go to aircraft Spruce and look up primer pump

I live in Mich and have had to set up a few aircraft engines with this system. it is a must in cold weather

It's only money. There is more coming down the road.

go with the 2.3 you won't be sorry

How do we lube the chain.

Thanks for all the info

Looks like a tank for the gear oil. Must have a circulating pump also.

Anyone know anything about a B-W gearbox. Like what ratio that it might be and if robust enough to last. It looks like an aircraft conversion to me. The seller has no clue what it is.

Number one reason to me would they don't collect a boat load of debris if you travel high vegetation even with a grass rake. It take a lot of time to remove weeds out from around all the rigging in a conventional hull.

I run a 406 sbc and a 2,38 with 80 in R blades set at 5200 rpm and never looked back

Don't pass up ALUMATECH in Orlando

cut your filter open and see what is in the element

What kind of engine is that

They would not stay on long

my only issue is finding the pigtail to go from the other side of the 4 pin module up to the coil.

That MSD module is an open circuit board which i think can accumulate moisture on it. The other distributor fired right up (sealed module). I'm going to try to convert the MSD to a closed module like GM had for years. Very reliable

I carry a spare distributor. I'm just going to drop it in. MSD was a freebee 5 yrs ago. Not impressed heck they want $110 for there module. The petronics was like 50 when i set the other one up. thanks for the help. The weather is crap up here in MI I'll be down in FL Jan 15 till May. Wind is blowin...

I have one. it will go in when it quits raining. thanks but how can it go bad just sitting there. HEI is usually very dependable. it's still raining

MSD HEI quite making spark after sitting for 2 months. Ran fine last run. Have power to the dist. Any thoughts. T I A

Isn't there a check valve in the pump to keep fuel in it?

I would go to continental spec sheet and see what the bore dia is and see what piston spec are and go with that tolerance.

From the videos I've seen, they normally have to pull them out of the bushes, grab them by the head and put them down.

I would like to see that. Are the videos published anywhere?

KRS62 I 'm thinking that most cages might be made with plywood patterns. Although CNC bending and weld fixtures would be handy for hi volume. More or less a shade tree mechanic and a 6 pack job.
