I had turned off the hose and only ran it for a few seconds.
Probably stumbling as it was starving for air with the throttle fully closed.
I didn’t dare rev it up as the kiddos we’re already in bed.

Quick video for posterity....

The basket case 80 lives again!
I’ll see about some video later for now it’s just great to hear it run.
Time to start work on the new one.
Pete,
You were on in your description, when fed from the brass plug the motor fills to the point where it flows...

Alright Yamato 80 gurus riddle me this. Why is is when I feed low pressure water back through the motor it’s flowing out this port on the bottom of the cylinders instead of out of the regular coolant passage that leads down to the pickup?
Is this a pressure release that operates backwards...

Belay this want ad, found if I take the wires off the points it works fine. May have a bad ground somewhere leading to issues....

Pete,
Sorry for the confusion. I meant I have used the same unit you have with good results.
I was trying to use a Central tool company 273 which is also supposed to be a good unit (if a little old).
-
Pete,
I have used that exact unit, and it did work well. Likely what I will get for myself but was hoping to make this one work that we have.
Or get a good used unit from someone who has made the move to a cdi motor.

I know this isn't the tech forum, but I'll ask. Right now regardless of if the points are open or closed the buzz box is buzzing. Also tried a second motor with the same result. I have tried moving the other clip from to different locations with the same result. It's as thought the points are continually...Last edited by Albert; 05-19-2022, 08:01 AM.

Wanted Buzz Box
I have reason to believe that the buzz box my brother acquired and I intended on using on all 3 of our motors is not functional.
Anybody have a good used spare unit they want to part with before I send my money to speedway?...

Matt,
Welcome to the site. I've stood next to a popper helping them launch and the noise is really something. That being said if your neighbours are understanding and you're only going out a few times a summer...It would be a shame to leave those parts on the shelf....

Well I put a couple inches of water in the boat today and found exactly 0 leaks.
I’m no mr Holmes....

A good cleaning and this thing might finally be nice enough to earn its keep on the back of the Bezoat!...

Now we’re getting somewhere.
Edit: It has been suggested I get copper washers and fresh hardware for the head. I think that’s a good idea will order on Monday....Last edited by Albert; 05-14-2022, 11:12 AM.
