The build I am designing is going to be simialer to your design.
Have you worked out the fuel delivery problem? I believe I will go with the perry
pump. I can adept it to a smaller engine.
Thanks crispyspa, for the idea. I think using exhaust preasure, will
lead to throttle problems. I would like to test stand the idea though.
I just hate having to retrofit if something dosen't work.


Having this much fun must be illegal
I'm not 100% sure what I'll use for fuel delivery. The Perry Pulse pump is $30 and would allow you to put the tank on the moon if you so choose. (exaggerated, I know.) Only downside to this method is having to drill and tap the backplate for the pulse fitting. I will most likely do it this way for "insurance". Boat retrieval sucks.
This is what was recommended to me from the guys in the glow engines forum:
