But Dave every once in a while you decide to go swimming with the fishes or get tangled in the brush

Assembled a new 44

We have been having reed valve issues with our 44 so I decided to build another. The block was sitting on the shelf already ported by Doug Kay so all I needed to do was gather up the parts and assemble it. Nothing fancy but it should be a work horse. Used the Merc 1404 light pistons, .801 crank, Brinkman no drag rings, KC-7 carbs, and a 44XS transfer port cover. I fired it today and all went well. 45 min of running and compression came in excellent. We will boat test it at Mountain Home AR and see what can get from the unit. I all goes well I intend to put a hatchet under the engine and a new stick tower. Having 10 built. Try to upload photos later. Getting error now.

If you want a good long course (1 mile) prop for E Mod, call Dewald and ask for a W424. That's a 3 blade round blade prop. There may be better props out there but that one will get you in the hunt if you have enough power to pull it and get your set up right.

Hi David,

The engine I built this week had a lot of the parts I acquired from you. The De Wald props I got from you have been working well on the 44XS we run.

44 mod

Did the last items that needed to be checked with the new engine and it is ready to run at the next NBRA race. Compression came in nice and timing stayed where I set it so we will see how it goes.
