Hi golden
Do you have spark n any plug wires? If not you may need to test your condenser, test or set your points gap or just give the points a light cleaning up with fine emery cloth. you may also...

lol It's not hard to tell I've never been on an airboat:oops:, I didn't even think of the prop wash.:roll::eek:

Froghunter One of the ways I've tested for leaky inlets is to spray a little eather around the suspect area when the engine is idling if there is a leak the engine will speed up a bit.

Papee: Thanks for posting the link to the other thread, It was an informative read.

Now that I've got good fire on all four plugs and I think I've got the primary timing set properly it's time to...

Good job on getting the repairs done in time for the long weekend. Now go have some fun and take lots of pics to show us please,
And Be Safe.

That's good news Corky.
Well for me anyway.

I cleaned the points and all contacts and tightened the spring under the drive gear and now I have fire.

Now I just need to know which is the #1...

Hi froghunter

That looks like a good sized carp you got today.:eek:
Sorry to hear you're still having engine troubles.:oops:
Did you put poly on the bottom or did you go with frog spit or the...

Will do Papee.

Mike:cool:

Aerokirk thanks for the reply.;beer;

I have a manual printed out and read the preinstall timing procedure for the Mag. That's defiantly vary important.;thumb;
The points are opening to the...

Papee: Thank you for verifying the wiring.;thumb;

Do you have an idea on the cost of a replacement mag and does Chuck carry then or would I need to go through saturn?
If I need to replace it...

Help please.
I've been tinkering with my 084 and have it spinning like a top with the OEM starter but have no spark.
Do I need any wires left hocked up on this thing?
I think I read somewhere that...

Thank you for the tip Papee;thumb;

I'm kind of glad to hear that the hull I have will not work.:roll:
Now when I ask the wife if I can buy some aluminum to make a custom mini air boat, I can tell...

Oh ya, here is a couple of the old engine.

It was never going to rust.

This is what I'm talking about.

Thanks Papee
That makes perfect sense.


The old boat that I'm thinking of trying to use has a flat bottom for the back half and a pointed bow.
It is widest just in front of the middle seat...

In the meantime I have a question.

I have read in several places that you don't want your prop to be longer then the width of your transom.
Not having the slightest clue about these things I was...

I know how we all like seeing pics of each others builds so I tried to put some up today without success.
will try again tomorrow on my home computer.

It's going to be a slow proses but I picked up a used 084 today.
It looks to have a lot of oil leeks but fills like it has good compression.

Papee Thanks for putting on such a excellent site, when I started looking online for ideas on how to build an airboat you guys kept coming up so...:) here I is.

Doozit 20 From what I've seen...

Thanks for sharing your mishap. I'm glad to hear everyone's ok.
I'll have to make sure I really build strong mounts when I finally do my boat because I just know I'll be hitting frozen things.
...

Of course I need to get the cabin built before I worry too much about any more projects. I already designed and built a sawmill and a firewood processor for the property but need the log cabin done...

Thanks aerokirk,
I found you all while looking for ideas on how to build an airboat. I bought some vacant land on a river a few years back and getting there in the summer and winter is a breeze but...
