.12 Texan video
Friends here is a quick video we took of the first test run with a stock motor running the smallest .12 car carb. I have several races coming up at high altitudes and wanted to see if the smaller carb will run OK and give me a little more consistancy. This is not the best place to run boats (kinda narrow and with a bend to the left), but was the smoothest water I could find (still not too smooth). You have seen comments about the importance of getting motors up to proper temp...in the video you will hear me say that the motor is running rich and then a short while later is finally gets up to temp and you can hear the very noticable increase in speed and RPM. This is the wire drive boat for those that have asked me about it.

I learned a lot in that short video Glenn. One thing that I did notice was your header as I saw the first time I watched it how short your pipe appeared to be until I looked again at the header that you're using. That's where you and I discussed the length of the pipe settings a while back and how you measured yours. Mine does a 180 right off the flange where yours goes out some before making the turn.

Hey Uncle Jerry, we caught about 10 in the next hour or so after we ran the boat, but Sunday we caught around 50 with the two biggest at 5 lb 6 oz and 5 lb 7 oz.
