Wait 'til you get it. Those guys can't even spell right in the manual. Or on the e-start.
on the starter there is a "circuit protetor" next to a reset button. Like if you trip a breaker kind of button i guess.

i think i'm ready to put the engine back together and start her up.
i wonder if it will be lopy. i kind of like lopy.

Weird, although it wouldn't surprise me if people crank them way too long.

 

[FreeRunner15]

Well it's back together now. Just needs oil, fuel pump, and gas tank back on and ,vroom vroom, tearing off belts.

First test, First fire up of the .290cam and the choke valve pops off lol. proof in video too.
ran too lean and i knew when i was running lean and knew better than not to do that. but hey..at least it was the butterfly and not the head,right? lol .the cam is powerful but not THAT powerful.

So it sounds like you are already stuffing up your new engine. It also sounds like you didn't even try start it as a stock engine before you started stuffing it up

Also found a dual outlet fuel pump in case i ran a second carb for boost purposes. i probably wont ever need it cause the torque converter is so power-limited.

"Vanna....can I buy a clue?"

Jeeze...where to start?

Ahhhhhh...forget about it....this is simple....he got toast for brains.

SOOOO..LET'S REVIEW: NAW...The video tells the whole story...

FreeRunner...that video was EPIC! Keep them coming!

BTW: Replace the piece of plywood with a child safety seat....there are a million jokes out there...unfortunately....not all of them are funny....

And you are just sad....whatever you are using to destroy brain cells....STOP!

You started off with 1/2 anyway....ever wonder why your mom and dad had the same last name .....but were never married? ...HICK!

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

The "second carb" meme is the joke that tells itself.

 

[Jrgunn5150]
