73 but was wondering if it makes a difference if it is low on tranny fluid.

Yeah I think mine is 67, 1 wire? I doubt low trans fluid would be the issue?
3 wire on mine will do some more figuring.
I don't really even know. LOL. I never checked on GPS. Sold it a few years back. But I had the prop pitched for pushing on hard ground really. If I had to guess I'd say 50 mph in skinny water. They're actually fastest on wet grass. One I had was a 6 cylinder angle valve Lycoming. Now that was fast. LOL. They are fun!
LOL I bet they are fun would love to ride in one.
That air boat would work pretty good on snow I bet.
Go ahead Al rub it in.That air boat would work pretty good on snow I bet.
Got the Scamp running today started right up but tranny line at the radiator is pissing out fluid so had to shut it down.
I did what Blue Print engines recommended using Royal Purple break in oil and pulled the plugs to get the oil pressure up then rechecked the timing and she's running great.
I am a happy camper I almost pissed myself when she fired off so fast.
Having a drink to celebrate. Cheers all.

Congrats! Just sit back and look at it for awhile and smile! And have that drink.
That's exactly what I'm doing. lol
I remember something weird with the nss and backup lights. Like reversing the plug made a diff.....Or I had the "wrong" bulbs in it that looked similar...but were wrong. Something dumb.
I think it is something simple to fix but will figure it out here soon I hope.
Thanks for the great engine I am real happy with it and will send you the video of the first start up if you want it.
Of course! Appreciate that!!
