Sam1647545489 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 This motor didn't last long. I think the motor is gonzo. It won't turn over. Thought the timing was to advanced, not that. I pulled all the plug wires off and tried to start it and same problem. It acts like something is binding up in the motor. Either it wiped the camshaft or something else. I dunno. I'm done with it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Vapor lock? Pull the plugs out and relieve the pressure from the cylinders. What kind of gas did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 can you turn it over by hand or is it seized up completely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam1647545489 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Is it a fast hunk? I need to see this thing 60 ish right now. Gonna order one more prop and see if it helps get it to 65. I would be happy with it goin 65 and being reliable. I am already building another 350 with a good bottom end and matched cam and heads for a blower for next season. 450hp is I would need to get it close to 75-80 mph.
