I was able to test run the Corsair in the barrel today …..
Animated Fire Hose Sound / ASMR / 46 Minutes
I prayed to the “Outboard Gods” that it pumped water this time.
My prayers were answered, but the camera, or operator,
malfunctioned. 🙁
It pumped great, blowing water out of the little pee hole
in the bottom of the welch plug in the head, and
out of the holes in the exhaust.
Motor is attached to the boat, so hopefully the first boat test
of the year soon, and hopefully the camera works!
When I tried out the fuel line fitting from my Firestone tank
prior, it spewed gas while squeezing the primer bulb.
I took the fitting apart yesterday, chucking the large OD in the lathe
to hold it, then heated it up with the little propane torch, and
twisted the latch end back and forth until it pulled apart.
Cleaned it up, installed new a O-ring, and Loctite it back together.
Worked good today, no leaking.
Prepare to be boarded!
