    Is a Tiny Tach a good choice for testing?

    I bought one out of curiosity when I dropped the old tach I used in the shop on the concrete floor. Used it to set up timing and carb on the new to me Tohatsu on a boat I bought that didn't have a tach. When I got a new tach to mount in the boat console I was surprised that they both read...

    What the heck is this engine? 1000 SC

    Reliability is not a strong point in racing engines. I spent a good amount of time around them years ago and wish I had a dollar for every time I heard a mechanic say "I wish these motors had zippers on them." I can't remember a time when our stock car went more than 3 weekends without some...

    Last one I installed I temporary installed fittings on a couple of scrap 1x3's that I clamped on the gunnels. Spent some time sliding them back and forth and changing the spacing of the fittings till I was happy with it.

    2005 Skeeter ZX190 Electrical Issue

    Like others have said check all connections. The fact it seems to occur more during a hole shot makes me think that the battery (or battery box) may be lose and is tilting or sliding back straining one of the connections. Turn on the ignition and give every connection from the battery a good...

    What is this gauge?

    That That rules out my guess #2. More than likely tilt and trim gauge. Did you try tilting the engine up and down when it was connected to see if it would move. The sending units for those if that is what it is are more often the cause of it not working than the gauge itself.
