Daren: thanx for the advice. I bumped the idle up to 900 and it runs at around 190 temp. Plugs still look a little pale...any advice there? It has a Holley 600 cfm marine carb....don't know if that makes any difference.

WANTED TO BUY
I want to buy a good running D stock motor. The complete motor is good, but I will consider just the complete power-head without the hydro-short lower unit..
A nice ss prop is a plus.
I prefer electric start, but will consider rope start.
I will consider a complete...

I’ll be driving the 110 in CSR!

Just talked with Pete at the Legion and all is still set for the outboard meet on July 10-11. While it is big as far as outboard motor meets go it is far smaller than the numbers that show up for a race so we are well within the state guidelines for the event. While masks are recommended, we are leaving...

700rpms at idle for a jet boat is too low.....bump it up to 900

Region 9 is planning on a race at Lk. Minden in late Aug. Dave, so your wrong about West Coast APBA racing. Just region 10 called it early. Oh and dont forget the AOF race in Idaho that Region 10 APBA members are heading to in a few weeks.

Since it does not look like we will be racing outboards on the west coast this year, I have been working on my 1979 Jetster 460 jet boat. Totally restored it, new paint, interior etc. Friend and I installed a new 460 long block in boat last year, finally got it so it runs perfectly....will do well...

Hey Zul8, thanks for the encouragement. I will agree that it may be easier to build new. Still a satisfying process though. Persistence pays off in the end.
I am definitely going to varnish over the epoxy. I bought a quart of Epiphanes formthat duty. Certainly any pointers will be appreciated...

I have mentioned this quote, circa 1974, before on hydroracer.net from alky legend Bob Thornton after which Matt D'Agostino chimed in because he was there.

Emerging from the water after driving into a piling outside of the race course, Bob Thornton said:
