Aparently Posiden thinks I suck azz and need to be in restoration a while longer.
Well I went out and splashed the new motor. I went up river with my luck I figured i needed to at least be able to float back.
I was right. It lost power I turned around. On the way back it was having trouble coming back on plane. It finally fell off plane. Made it back to dock at least. Smoke all in the back of the boat.
I opened the engine cover oil everywhere. Took the spark arrestor off. Hit the key vroom idled like a champ. big stream of white smoke coming out of the valve cover.
I came home took the exhaust off looking for a blockage as I was advised by Mickey to do. Pulled and checked plugs. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
Called the engine place. They are starting a claim. I going to do a compression check and I ordered a borescope to look in the cylinders.
I got to pull it and send it back once i inspect it for a warentee replacement. I talked to the guy I got it from he is being very good about it so far. We talked and I explained what all I did. He said it dont sound like i did anything wrong. It sounds like the motor was just to tight.
Anyway after court basically if i am found not guilty. I have a crate sent to me I send it back and they fix or send another one.
Anyway it goes this years boating is shot for me. By the time it is fixed it be over this year.
New hourmeter. it had 20 minutes for cam break in, 4 minutes somewhere setting idle and timing and such. 12 whopping minutes actually going down the river.
I got more time out of the last engine.Frozen cracked block and it lasted alot longer.
