Thumbs up there is smoke

White smoke ?
So engine runs and draws fuel.
Needless to say it showed the next problems.
The pressure nipple from the exhoust fell off relative easy fix once i can borrow a rivet tool to close the hole and make a better one.
Bigger is that the cooling loop isnt working. there is no pressure from the pickup (think its way to far from the screw)
Once a electric pump was hooked up the next cooling problem showed.
There is a blokage at the head and a leak so there is water running out the side of the head but none out of the top part of the cooling (there are 2 rings)

If you rename the atatched zip to mp4 you can see a higly compressed clip.
Only 7 sec that is how long i could keep the boat onder controll, hold the camera (forget steady ) and hold my breath

Going to dry everything and start thinking on how to get the cooling head both sealed and clear so the water goes where it needs to.


Anyway good progress
