jordanp Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 no the switch blade should be ok for the boat. might be your coil check the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 it is strange that it started twice then used the kill switch to stop the engine then 3rd time would not start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddfg Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Engine coil and plug are all brand new then like said I killed the engine using the switchblade and after that it wouldn't start Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 just bring it over and try your engine on my set up, my engine is sparking, eliminates the kill switch/coil then, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddfg Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Sorted got it running, I think it was the kill switch stuck on some how after I killed the engine with it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddfg Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Once I've got flotation glued in, also got to get a new bolt for the exhaust mount, double check all bolts are tight, quite windy up here at the moment too so wait till weathers a little better, I don't want it blowing over on its first run lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I am interested to know where you are going to run it locally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddfg Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Well its been 3 weeks , you must have run it or did it sink ? Engine is out at the moment to fit handles as per bmprs rules, became a member on Sunday so got to get it legal to race with them, not had time to put it in the water yet to run it in, also want to paint it too so don't know whether to do it while the engines out or put it back in and run it then paint it at a later date Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 run It and get it set up first then paint it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangarilla Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'd have thought you'd have got it sorted running and ironed out any niggles before jumping in racing. Apologies i'm just impatient building up to a climax and teetering at the top waiting for the grand Finale. I've got a bit of emulsion left from the ceiling if this will help speed things along and a bit of black hammerite from the gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddfg Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm not jumping in racing just yet, still got to run it in, hopefully be ready by summer, lol got a roller ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saviown Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 would that make it brushless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangarilla Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 nearest i got to an RC boat was messing with a friends outboard on a small dinghy he has bought for messing about on canal. good fun though except for the punctures, used inflatable things not a good idea !!!
