I had a Burns many years ago that I ran in Sport J. That hull had an aroma (interior finish, wood and paint) that was all it's own. Nothing like Molinari, Scotti, etc. Can someone elaborate on the Burns raceboat? Who built them? Where? What classes were they run in, etc?

It took me a lot of searching to figure out that Allan Brown is often misquoted regarding the little Magnums. THIS is the boat he says there were only 30 or so made. In the same sentence he says there were about 150 tunnel hulls made.

BurnsCraft raceboats were built by Spike Burns in central Ontario, Canada. I believe most of his boats were built back in the 70's, and I know he built tunnel hulls and some hydroplanes but I don't recall which classes they were run in, or if he built other styles of race boats as well. You might find more info online, or some others on this forum may know more.

This picture is from a small photo album of pictures taken at this race by Joe Swift. He put captions on all of them, put them in plastic sleeves and distributed the album to certain Mercury employees. Third from left is Emerson, not Stoney. I think the dude left of Seavey traveled with either Ken Ballou or Dick Sherrer, I just don't remember.
Just curious, did you know any of the guys in this picture?

'Spike' Burns I think mostly built hydroplanes but did build a few tunnels in the early 70's. His shop was near Port Perry / Lake Scugog in Ontario, Canada. He built a couple of SE boats (Tim Toole & Duanne Wight), an SJ boat that Francis Kinette drove in 1972 and did very well with, the U-class boat in the picture that Andre Savard drove and was very badly hurt in in (Picton 1973) and a T-class tunnel again driven by Savard (I think Oley Berkis set a T-class kilo record with this boat).

Fuji, hope you don't mind me using your thread to get some information about the pictured 2-1 Pipe. I purchased this knowing that it was not complete and just bolted to a stock exhaust cover for a museum display. To begin with, this needs a T2 crank to get the firing order necessary to make this exhaust system work. Where do you get a T2 crank now days??? Not sure I'd have enough money to buy one if it did surface! Add to that that I'll need the exhaust plate and the filler blocks. The likelihood of finding all of this is probably zilch! Not sure what I'll do with it.
I'd really like to see some pictures of these exhaust systems posted here, and any comments about their use. I'd really like to see pictures of the exhaust filler blocks and cover/mounting plate.
Thanks,
Roger

If a Twister has a red cowl, it has no number. "Twister -1" designates the second version/first update. The Merc 500 went up to something like -24, but the first one was just a "Merc 500". When they made significant changes, the model changed to Merc 500-1; not designating first version, but first update. Same with Twister; Twister (red), Twister - 1 (blue). If it doesn't have a Speedmaster, its just parts.

I'm confused..........when 998 got repainted for it's studio photo shoot for an upcoming catalog printing, the engines (1350's?) were fitted shiny chrome stacks. Were the stacks in the catalog foto just for show or did 998 actually run with stacks at some point? (Pre-Twister):rolleyes:

'Spike' Burns I think mostly built hydroplanes but did build a few tunnels in the early 70's. His shop was near Port Perry / Lake Scugog in Ontario, Canada. He built a couple of SE boats (Tim Toole & Duanne Wight), an SJ boat that Francis Kinette drove in 1972 and did very well with, the U-class boat in the picture that Andre Savard drove and was very badly hurt in in (Picton 1973) and a T-class tunnel again driven by Savard (I think Oley Berkis set a T-class kilo record with this boat).
416635416636416637416638
My Burns did very well in regional Sport J racing. The boat had the ability to kind of float around a turn (rather than my opponents who would stick right on the pins and bury their boats to turn). By the time they air'd out and were back on the throttle, I'd be 30% down the long leg of the track and ahead of them. By 3 laps (1 mile or 1 1/3 mile course) I would have a 1/2 lap lead in my Burns at the finish. :smiletest:

Bill's 1970 winning Molinari did have stacks (1350 SBP's I think).
Bill's 1971 winning Molinari pictured here did not have stacks, it had the 'new' Twisters.

Fujimo, I want you to know that I come on here everyday to see what photos you've found and posted. Pure, genuine appreciation!
Now, I do have to ask all here - were these outboards really a lot faster with these megaphone exhaust installed or were they just louder? Nothing about them resemble anything I've ever used or seen on a motorcycle. I'm from the motorcycle world and I have designed and built my own 2-stroke expansion chamber exhaust. A well designed expansion chamber can actually "supercharge" the 2-stroke cylinder by pushing the escaping fuel/air charge back into the exhaust port just before the piston closes it with the pressure of a sine wave reflecting back from the reversion cone. The result can be as much as 7 psi of "boost" pressure from the exhaust alone. Combine the expansion chamber's design to the effect of increased intake velocity where the flow continues to fill the cylinder even after the piston reaches TDC and the overall affect can be 14 psi combined "boost" into the combustion chamber - referred to as "on pipe".
Are others wrong when they report the megaphone does not do any of this? I've always understood that 2-strokes needed the expansion cone, the belly cone, and finally the reversion cone and a bleed tube end to "supercharge" the combustion chamber while the 4-strokes needed the megaphone to maximize exhaust gas velocity. Thanks again for the photos! Gordon

Anyone have a guess about how many of these 2:1 pipe systems were made? The pipe system I have has the #4 engraved on it. What I'm hoping to find is the baffle/filler block configuration on the back side of the mounting plate. If this was a 1350 it had to have a T2 crank to make the exhaust work.

it was my understanding, at the time. the megaphones were an improvement over stock exhaust. the expansion chambers were another step in exhaust improvement.
Both the megaphones and open stingers on the expansion chambers have fueled the hearing aid business... I had a slide cone set up on my D class hydro and they were an incredible boost to that little rig, as were the many chambers that we added to snowmobiles, jet skis, dirt bikes, quads, and the old H2s.

A lot of the alky boats had a second lever on their throttles to control a sliding adjustable expansion chamber exhaust system. Don't know if the post stacker motors like the twister series exhaust systems were some sort of expansion chambers.

BINGO! I think you are correct - this is T-1 and T2 intake - this is what differs between the Twister and T-1
Mark75H
08-31-2018, 02:20 PM
The short answer is megaphones make about 15% power increase; expansion chambers can make more, providing the rest of the motor can be designed to work with them. The old crossflow/deflector piston outboards cannot be re-worked to take full advanatage of a closed end expansion chamber, so, on a crossflow/deflector 2 stroke, the extra length and weight is only a liability and you take your 15% and be happy.
The Twister and T-1 internal tuning isn't an expansion chamber or megaphone, its just an improved 120° 3 cylinder pulse tuning design.
2 excesses prohibit the deflector from taking advantage of an expansion chamber - excess cylinder intake/transfer port area and timing and too much piston dome surface area.
Kaaden's original scheme wasn't just the expansion chamber, it was the rest of the motor design particularly the flat topped piston and Schnerle loop port timing.
