3. Elimination of full butterflies in the Tahatsu D motor

Replacement of the factory installed throttle plates (butterflys) is complicated by the fact that the screws in most foreign carburetors are not sold separately. These factory installed screws are flared so they will not fall out. Removing these screws to change the butterflys damages the threads of the screws and the throttle shaft. There is question regarding the need to replace the factory butterflys with solid ones. The wording in paragraph 5, requires the throttle to automatically go "closed" when released. Kill switches are installed to kill the engine. Back in the olden days there was no kill switch requirement, hence the 'solid butterfly' rule. If an incorrect or damaged screw is used it could fall out and damage the engine. Or worse, it could cause the throttle to jam. The need for solid butterflys no longer exists. The rule is a carryover from the days before kill switches.
Recommendation: Eliminate the second sentence in paragraph 5.

Sorry tahatsu guys this is the dumbest request yet. Quote me all you want. I hope this one fails. I want the names of the people who vote yes. So I can tell them to stop running with scissors while smoking and filling their gas tank.

Full butterflies do more than "kill" the engine. They tend protect the engine in the situation where the engine is suddenly immersed in water. Also, I've seen too many "kill" switches fail to do the job. Even after being tested. When tested, all you know is that it worked then. The full butterfly is too esential to be discarded. I would think that with all the technical capabilities in the organization a solution could be had to eliminate the butterfly screw issue without changing the full butterfly rule. Jack

I alway's thought a 1/4 mile was 1320 ft ! What is the purpose of 1/4 mile time trial's ? anybody ??

[B1PRORACER]

A skilled person can run with scissors and nothing will happen. If you want to try in make sure you have enough skill to not fall and if you do, be careful of where they are pointed. Maybe we should just eliminate scissors altogether- make them illegal to own without a permit!

The idea behind the 1/4 mile for speed records is to make it easier for most areas of the country to host a speed trial event. It is very difficult to find a protected area that is a kilometer in length- not including the run-up and slowdown area at each end of the course. Most rivers have bends in them and large bodies of water get rough. There hasn't been a "kilo event" in Moorehaven, FL in a long while. Right now, if you want to set a kilo record, you have to travel to the northwest......
