Rumble Blues

[Ally 1988]

Got my power head back still have not fired it up. Replaced fuel line pick up in tank. Then the fun began got my lower unit back went to go put it own and damb pick up tube is gone so to Rickracer (Barbara) I go again Sat. Sun I tried to find some fuel line fittings like Russell no one here has a clue about them. So I get back own Computer order some from Jegs sure I could have found it somewhere else but thats what I went with I don't shop to well I just go and get it. Now the race is own to see if everything will arrive in time for atleast one or two passes at my local lake. Just hope everything works out.
If not I will still come Im not going to be able to race it doesnt look like. So anyone needing help at the ramp just let me know I will be more than glad to help... :) :( :(

Welcome to the rumble blues it happens this time every year. At least you know what you need. I dont even have which power to use and all need fine tuning. Last year I took 2 swivel seats drilled a hole in plywood and swiveled everytime I excellerated. You will make it take 2 brews and look at it tomorrow. I have less than 8 days to paint mount power and fix power and drive 16 plus hours. Its worth it, see you there. Rick

Water pick up tube I need from Merc Want be in till after the rumble. So today Im off to try and find one Locally used/new one I trully hate dealing with the local dealers hear Ive never had a good experience with them. But you got to due what you got to do. Got a Jacket from one friend and will see if my big ole head will fit in anothers helment. Which I might not need anyway because I really did not plan to Race or make High speed runs just wanted to cruise on Thursday And Friday. And try and make a few passes just to get some seat time.

See you guys at the RUMBLE anyway me and my truck will be happy to assist anyone at the ramp or your truck/car.

Easy fix brother.

First off, look at the tube and see if it is straight or has bends in ti??
The old 150 V-6 Merc on my Stream needed one and failing to find onlocally I realized it was I believe 1/2" (??) copper tube with no bends in it.
Went to local Hdwe. and bought an 8' stick of plumbing pipe for like $4. or $5. cut 18" or so off and it worked perfect!

If you're not that lucky, and you don't have find one locally, do apost on ther general board looking for someone to bring you one to the Rumble!!
I bet you get 10 people offering to bring you one!!
If you need help putting that black motor together when you get there, I will help you;)
