Got the motor out of the 'new acquisition' from the other day (see "new addition to the fleet" post I created), and its on my bench awaiting a visual lookover of the cylinders. I attempted to start it very briefly yesterday and it fired for a moment then let out the biggest backfire I've ever been next to -at least I know I have a spark -I won't be trying a start it again until the motor has the carbs rebuilt for sure. The hull was a dirty mess, had had water sit in it for a while because there is a old water line inside, thankfully it was only a couple inches, just touched the cases a bit. The hull is empty, we are in process of cleaning it up, turf is off and hull restoration well along (pics soon)
Questions (may add more as I think of them):
-Protec head - black top on silver base - likely needs orings - best place to get them?
-Torque specs/procedures on replacement of head?
-"DBP" on side and also recently found "Dev" engraved on bottom edge of cylinder - would Protec be able to tell me what type of porting was done on this?
-Basically, I am trying to assist my son in figuring out if its worth it to put all this back together and try to run it as someone had it before, or to sell off the pipe, pump stator and drop nozzle kit and buy a B-pipe with the proceeds and use that with the existing motor. What is the pipe, pump stator (Solas 12-vein I think) and drop nozzle kit worth?
- If we decide the b-pipe route, will it run good (freestyle mainly) with the dual Riva ProSeries 48's?
Sorry about the rambling and convoluted post - as you can tell I have lots of questions - thankfully I'm in a place where you can get good answers.
