    Pismo Carnage

    So....what'd you break? I lost one topend before I ever got there (didn't realize it though) to detonation. This was my 760 Frankenstein motor. I ran the stator a bit advanced, hot pipe, 185psi or so on an 84mm bore. One piston & dome have sprinkles on them. Blegh. Boring up to 790cc...

    Coupler Carnage

    Weekend carnage, YAY!!! :arms: So I am out riding with Suva, at Dworshak reservoir. We're just messing around, and this kid on an older Polaris keeps zooming by. I figured I could probably take him on on top end, so I was going to give it a shot. As he comes my way, I come about and nail...

    Team Ugly - Sponsored by Procrastination Inc.

    I meant to build up this Squarenose into a ski for my wife, with a ported/piped 650, and pink. :puke: Unfortunately, I spent far too much time on my Roundnose instead. So here we are, it's almost July, and this Square isn't ready for water yet. Mind you, I got a ski to ride, and she is...

    Gremlins

    So I finally got my main engine to run great for the first time this year. :bs: I updated some port work in the winter time, and changed from dual 44's to a single 48 Full Spectrum with Boyesed Rad Valves. My Total loss had a couple small problems, which I Fixed a few weeks back. Second...

    Multi-level weekend carnage

    First, on the way to the boat launch, I find that my trailer is falling apart. The bearings on one side disintegrated and took the spindle and hub with it. Second, my MSD Total Loss brain takes a dump. Bye bye total loss, hello stock electrics :crying: After getting all done switching stock...

    Total Loss Plug Gap?

    It just occured to me that the MSD Instructions do not include a plug gap number. What should the plugs be gapped to?

    Ed Brazina - Full Spectrum - thumbs up

    Ed is the man! :biggthumpup: It was tough to get a hold of him, I'll say that upfront. It took me over two weeks. However - once I had him on the horn, he talked. :bigeyes: :biggrin: I called to ask him some questions about some older carbs of his, and he knows right what I am talking...

    Alright I admit - 61X cylinders need girdle kits

    For the past 1-2 years I have always claimed that a 61X cylinder with a non-head mounted pipe didn't necessarily need a girdle kit. Phill's X cylinder cracked in two this weekend. He's ran it at 84mm bore, 170psi pro-tec head, and B-pipe for about a year now. At this weekend surf ride, he had...

    Surf observations from March 07 Freeride in Longbeach, WA

    Surf & Weather: We were all a bit concerned over possible high surf conditions. Those concerns were at least somewhat justified. Friday and Saturday there was rain, 100%, all the time, no break. And a good 18+mph winds along the shore. It didn't really bother me once I was in the...

    Frankenstein Motor Project

    So, I have decided to build a spare / surf engine. I will slap it in my SJ whenever it's saltwater time. Meh, bad excuse. I just wanted to build another engine. I'll put it in my wife's square if she'll let me. It can be a good spare motor. And I will run it as a surf motor, but I am not...
