Are you going to need to go to a gravity tank?

What are your first impressions? Good, I hope!

Massody is sending me a gravity tank, I think it is Pilothawks old one, once I
get my pipe all sorted out I can fabricate a tank that will go in the Engine
compartment.

Seem to run good I don't know how accurate my tach is I just took my
digitron and hooked it to one of the spark plug wires and it seem to read
right, if it does I havent seen over 7k RPM but it sounds like the Engine
is screaming more than 7k, soulds like litespeeds drakart now....
I have been playing with that watercraft carb and think I got the jetting close,
I need to figure out how the kill switch gets hooked up so I can do a plug
chop to really see where the jetting is, right now I get out and turn off the
gas then just when it is about to die close the choke, plugs look ok and
not black doing it this way.

Looking at the picture the top manifold is the watercraft carb the lower is the one that
came with the Engine and used on the sled, the openings are smaller on the watercraft
manifold this might affect the timing of the rotary valve since the opening height is
different, this could be costing me some power...

An old broken rear fender seems to fit right in as a air scoop for the
extra radiator.
