Not sure JJ .  They have not shipped my carb back to me yet .. It is in Florida..

If I get the Carb back , I will be there with the boat for some tuning and a wide open pass .. They told me a two day turn around and it already been a week , so I bet it will not make it in time ..

Let me know when . I might drive down to visit

I WILL BE THER SUNDAY FOR SURE. IF I CAN I WILL BE THER SATURDAY TO. BILLY PUT SOME AVE GAS IN IT AND YOU 1150 THAT WILL GET YOU ON THE WATER.

The 1250 is sitting on the engine right now , but I would have to drain the tank and put some good fuel in it .. You think it would run on Av Gas ?  It is tempting to open Galen new Drum of C-114 that is sitting here , but I won't .. That for his engine ..

I am hoping my  Carb makes it in time . The tanks are full of E-85 right now ..

THAT THING IS A 1250 I HAVE GOT A 1150 BUT I HAVENT HAD TIME TO SET IT UP FOR E85 YET. I HAVE BE ON THE PHONE TURN OUT LOOKS GOOD. IT WILL RUN ON AVE GAS BUT YOU CANT HOT ROD IT.

yeah is a 1250 marine Carb .. It the one you sold me last year .. You had the two 1150 sold and only had the 1250 left and I bought it ..

Remenber you tried to get an E-85 kit  from Quick Fuel for it and they did not have one for a 1250 ..

I better not try and run it on Av Gas , you know me . It hard for me not to stand on it ..I gotten about 45-50 minutes so far not getting on it hard , so it should be broke in now .. It time to stand on it for a test run ..

last week E-85 was 3.35 a gallon , but since gas has came down , E-85 should be cheaper also .. It will alway be cheaper than gas ..

If your engine does not have enough compression , then it not worth it , but like mine at 13.5 to 1 , then it worth it ..

I paid a lot more than that for the 1050 BLP E-85 carb that I got ,  than you can get both of those for .. But the regular 4150 style are not not bad on price , check Quick Fuel on their E-85 carbs .. Look like about 700 for a E-85 carb on Summit

that's what i get out of what he's saying,  just saying  :smile16:

I will probably be there if everyone is going.  It would still be without a boat.  I am getting slower and every projects gets bigger as I progress.  It is like the two-step, one step forward and two steps back.

so seeinghow mine is only 9-1 i should keep running 93?

Randall : If you only have 9 to 1 compression . i would run 87 or 89 octane .. The higher the octaine , the harder it is to burn .

I can understand that Jim . I sure was hoping to test mine this weekend with the E-85 Carb and get it dialed in .. Hell I might have to bring my Old Ski Boat and go cruise the lake .. It old and I think it will start this year .. 1975 Ski Nautique

Just heard from BLP the Carb people , the carb is going out the door today . So it will not make it . I am not paying for overnight shipping ..

So let me know if anyone is going and when . i might drive down to visit and get in the water .. No Boat for me this weekend ..
Oh well save the fuel for the next trip ..

Might just go out on Granbury in the Ski Boat ..
