RE: Stock Enforcer Gator hull hit 40mph today
ORIGINAL: PHCM
Ya'll know about the 2nd Enforcer Gator that I bought a few weeks ago. Its the exact same as my white one. Bought it used for almost half the price I paid for the white rig, RTR.!.!.!
Got the white boat all set with the new engine and for the life of me haven't been able to get it to even POP. I've taken it out of the boat two times and tore it almost completely down and don't know what the problem is. The guys at Jim's have been real helpful. Going to wait and call Bonzi and see if they'll work with me, if not, I'm sending it to a guy that I trust to turn some wrenches on it. I'm simply stumped.

Getting back to the yellow boat.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This thing really helped make my day.
Cold.... try 20ish *........ it was COLD
Dropped it in the water after pulling two times and warm up and this thing was on its way! Love those RC230 engines. Slapped a cupped 275 on there and this thing RIPPED. Kinda miss that cannister exhaust sound. You get spoiled with the sound of the Cooper Quiet exhaust.
Dont' know what I did with the white boat, but for the life of me, it never would get over 38 mph even with a gazzilion different props and strut adjustments. (with cannister exhaust. w/cooper, its hit 44 and change with a lot of setup work)
Maybe it was the cold? I know it had something to do with it because the colder it is, the more power engines make. Its been proven.
Either way.... I got my 40. --------------- 40.0 but its still a milestone for me and these hulls with stock setup from the factory. Only change was that 275 that had the 3/16" of the tips bent a little. Changed to a stock 275... thinned and razor sharp but no mods,,,, and it got to 38.4.
So I've talked your head off. Those of you that know me know I love this stuff. I love the Enforcer Gator hull and those RC230's ain't too bad either...

First, make sure the carb is getting fuel, make sure you got spark, then check the timing. Use a bussiness card, loosen the coil, insert card between coil and rotor, bring coil down to bussiness card. if two needle adjustments on the carb, set high 2 1/2turns out, low almost one turn out. Good luck.

Sorry, don't know how to just take parts of the quote.
What motor are you running? I have a Zenoah G230Pum, modified to G260Pum, then modified again. No, have not heard of new motors coming with low compression, and as far as I know gas motors don't come with head shims like nitro motors do , which in case you can remove or add head shims to change your compression. You'll have to turn the head to achieve .008- .010 head clearance. Are you sure you bought a new motor? See if you got a cracked ring. Check the seal between the head and the case. If you got a Zenoah you can buy mods kits for around $160 that will bring you up to 25.5cc, and the motor will scream. A stock Zenoah G260Pum will run in the 50's out of the box. Around $260. Go to these two list bots and check the postings on gas boats rcboats.com intlwaters.com. They are both loaded with more info on rc boats that It'll blow you away. You'll find me in there also.

If you bought the boat from Tony at Warehouse Hobbies, get a hold of Tony and explain your problem, he will take good care of you, they make and sell the Enforcer line.
