Looks like a 1979 fishin motor,I think sombody got taken...........Rob
Another case of "you can use this for" turning into "this is"
This is an example of why I complain about this kind of thing. I think the guy he bought it from said "you can use this for" and he forgot that detail, just remembering the connection ... I don't think this guy was "taken" unless it was by his own imagination.
I think the only difference is the decal and the carb butterfly if you are recreating a 10XS. There are more KG9 powerheads pretending to be KG9H powerheads than stand ins for XS's.
The 10xs or x i remeber was in the 84 or so merc racing brochue... It had the lite weight cowling and i think a quicki lower.. I have only seen one and it was in pics....
I don't think they came with cowlings at all.
The 10XS came with cowls. The 60J from the late 60's and the 25ss from the mid 70's were the ones without cowls
I have a 1988 HI performance catalog with a 10XS it has a cowl a little smaller than the 25XS the center section looks the same and it has a 1.31:1 speedmaster on it. The cowl has a rubber strap on the rear holding it down like the F1 cowls have. Its 12.7cu.in. weight is 65lbs. Says to be used in APBA class ... J pro hydro,J mod hydro and 125cc hydro.
Speedmasters are much larger, the 10XS & 25XS lower units are called "Quicksilver" ... the 1.31 ratio is usually called 16:21. Good eye on the center section, the same one was used on the 10, 25 and 44. The only class the 10XS was eventually approved for was J PRO
I was asleep last night when I called it a speedmaster I should of said Quicki I have 3 motors with Speedmasters on them T2x , T3, and 1350 bp stacker My mistake.
There is no such thing as a customer 1350 BP ... 1970 factory race team motors were 1350 BP's with regular decals ... ask the guys who built them and raced them ...
I hope I get this correct this time , no its not a BP its a 1350 with water injected stacks . It had a cowling with stock 1350 decals on it . In the mid 70s I blew it over it was on the back of a glastron molinai now it has a 1250 bp cowling because the original was destroyed.the glastron was the single Gene Piel drove for Glastron.
