Are you sure you need a 750? Many times, folks oversize the carb thinking their building performance. Jetting, etc. will help but what kind of HP are you expecting? 650's worked well with up to 450 - 500 HP.

I'll take all the credit I can muster, spelling be damned! Boxer engines or opposed cylinder - BMW opposed twins Porche/VW opposed 4's and 6's Subaru opposed 4 etc. - Carl, pleased send spelling errors in a PM as I prefer that to public flogging --

---^^^^^^ I do hite it when thet happens -

While searching for a photo similar to my Corvair powered Beetle, I ran across this photo. Based upon my experiences with Corvair engines, I don't think I'd be comfortable relying on one to power an airplane.

All these carbs before breakfast . . . I'll need to spend more time on the NordicTrack to work them off. This carb talk reminds me of one of my first geezer moments. I needed a carbuertor -- about the size of my thumb -- for a small Toro 2 stroke snowthrower. When the kid at the parts counter told me $45, before I could stop myself, I said, "Forty-five dollars? In my day I bought a brand new Carter AFB 4 barrel for $30." I was referring to the one purchased from Sears -- oops another geezer reference -- for my Corvair powered 61 VW Beetle. The photos were stolen from the Internet. Mine is long gone. At 300 CFM, that was a lot of carb for a 164 cid six cylinder. The chrome intake tubes on the IECO manifold would be covered in ice in the winter.

Receiver arrived this evening. Dloc13 is a standup guy and honest seller. Now I must go play with my new toy.

I rode in something like that but it was not jet drive but prop. It kind of scared the hell out of me, the waterway was perfectly straight and about 40' wide, @ 80 mph it was not comfortable at all.

Fir those who forgot or missed the Mod(s) to the farmers fishin boat.

More crap from the barn...... This has a 454 in it, tonight im shopping for a Holly 750 that was somehow lost over the years.

Evening gang Farm is a workout "New Boat" project is off till friday. Still working on the Mack Hay Squeez, 14 air leaks, 11 fixed today. Farmer is clearing out one of his big barns, for two years he has been trying to give me a Suzuki 250Quad. Dont care for them, high centered and four tires, maybe im just sold on dirt bikes, anyway, after a nice 30 min pressure wash. Now i have a new neighborhood toy, maybe a Full Camo paint job?

^^^^^ Cool - that's how I got one of our iPads, through a company drawing.

Relaxing on the deck enjoying a Michigan craft beer, Short's Brew, Prolonged Enjoyment, Session India Pale Ale.

Morning gang 70s + now and for the next week. Think ill take the day off from the farm. Donut on the way, Coffee, Nap to start the day.......

To me, that airplane looks unsafe at any speed.

You tow are like a couple of boxers --

Then why isn't in the back of the plane mr smartypants?

I just bought this one as well as a dual line kit, farmer should be happy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AED-750HM-Marine-Holley-Double-Pumper-Carb-Billet-Metering-Blocks-750-HO-/331956233983?hash=item4d4a2226ff:g:bIAAAOSwyZ5UrAl7&vxp=mtr

Not even counting he about the coolest job around.

All about volumetric efficiency not horsepower but displacement and how good the intake / cam / heads and valves / exhaust allow the air to move. If it were me, and it's not, not knowing any thing but engine displacement and how a power plant reacts in boat propulsion I would pick a single fuel inlet 780 CFM vacuum secondary Holley as a starting point. My best carb set up on a 0.60 over 427 with tunnel ram, 11.5:1 compression (forget the cam specs), ported heads, large valves and 2" header tubes was a pair of 465 CFM Holley carbs. I did have to pencil drill holes in the throttle plates to allow more air at idle to keep the plates down in the idle circuit instead of transition.

That 750 is what was on it for years, ran quite well, no one ever had it Full throttle. Farmer tried a 650 then rejetted, tried again, then put it in the barn last year, said it was starving for fuel. 750 is what he ask for , 750 he gets this time around.

if you had a wabac

They better make you happy, I would think if it was installed right the first time they would be done by now, they are already late.

That should start right up...

Last item pulled from barn, any body remember this project from a few years back?

You will get out soon, but this is a good thing in a way, you are seeing what you want to get away from. The more you see this the better the chance you pick a place that does not have problems like that. I hope you find a place that has everything you want, well close anyway.

no thanks...that stuff is traumatizing to a germaphobe like me. I’m so ready to go.

Lucky day. Won an iPad mini at a business gathering. I knew I would win it as I filled out the entry. Those psychokinesis lessons are starting to pay off.

Good looking pork butts dtel! Day two at the door installation project. Lacking confidence in this crew LF called someone higher up. Pella sent an installation supervisor from Greensboro about 200 miles away. The crew had reinstalled the door for a second time and he had them take it back out. By 6:30 pm the door had been installed for the third time! I let them know I was very unhappy and they assured me they would make us happy. Don't even get me started on the younger generations work ethic. Came out of the house once and three workers were on their cell phones. I'm getting too old for this crap!!

I can’t get out of this place quick enough! After being physically challenged by that low-life two-weeks ago, another event traumatized me this morning. Out doing errands and get thirsty. Drive thru a fast food joint and order a soda. at the end of the drive thru lane there is a trash can and i slow to toss my straw wrapper in the trash. The trash can is full and on top is a box...sadly, i saw what the box said. Colt’s Anal Dousche. A picture of a dude on the cover. Why in the world is somebody handling the product while driving through an eating establishment? You can’t walk around here without dodging condoms on the street or sidewalk (that’s why i don’t pick up money off the ground, for those that read my thread about that a couple of years ago). I’ve lived in the city for a long, long time; but, now it disgusts me. Can i make it the last two weeks? oh yeah, my grandson gets nailed in the head with a baseball last night--a few hours in the ER. CAT scan normal, so he was sent home. Big lump on his head and a headache (at the location of impact).

Dooh! But personally, I prefer:

I wouldn't say people are against them. There are a lot of members that have those diaphragms. The issue with the titanium mid is that you have to install a bandpass to avoid overlapping frequencies - the phenolic had a natural rolloff so it wasn't originally in the crossover.

Actually, some describe horizontally opposed engines, such as Corvair, Porsche, VW & Subaru as "boxers."

Noooooooooo salt.

That thought occured to my punishing mind, but that is definitely a Corvair engine

all I know this morning...it's cold here and a hot cup of coffee. won't change a thing here..after turning on the heat last night.. I started hearing what sounded like a helicopter flying overhead.. so I went to the window a started to look out..then I realized as I was standing on the vent..the vibrations where coming from the furnace...it's a fraying belt....

Maybe the valve cover was supposed to say Corsair.

@DizRotus works. It's too early for my brain to function though. Coffee!

than you have to this

What would cause the surrounds to fail in such a way?

Not trying to kiss your rear here, but are you as well versed in as many topics? Dig that. Kind of follow the same lines. Performance matters.

Understood. I'd let him run it a couple of times initially, see what the response is and possibly re-jet afterwords. We do no different for audio. Test, re-test, decide, rinse, wash, repeat. HP and db are almost one in the same. Clarity, performance, consistency, repeat-ability, etc. all play in to both.

Nope, im not into it, ill make it run, but that is it. Iv had quite enough of bodys of water.

you better get for free !!!!

For what it's worth... While we were listening to them in the sound room, we were told that they would be available at the "end of June". This information came from the engineer running the demo. Also, the riser height is a bit shorter to account for the the sleight increase in cabinet height... and the corresponding slight increase in cabinet volume.

That looks like this version

I say, use 4 ohms. One reason is that the K-Horn goes down to 4 ohms and we want to keep the amp happy. Generally they perform best when they are not loaded below their output design. The second is that amp noise will be be lower at the stepped down 4 ohm tap. There is no benefit to monster wire. WMcD

nice--i worked across the street at the Group Office--staff position. my former pastor, just yesterday, told me to move back to Grand Haven. who knows where i’ll end up permanently; but, i’m outta here in two weeks.

where is that store?

I got the ProMedia speakers banned at Maryville when I was there. So I'm not surprised.
