You bet Ray new carb kit and float.. it’s bizarre to me.. I know running in tank means no load but ran extremely high rpm’s in driveway.. and really ran fast once throttle hit stop on fuel saver linkage and butterfly was wide open that last 1/4 turn.. runs amazing set up .. I can’t see the 150lbs of gas in bow being a thing.. fuel pump is only thing I can narrow it down to but flows there.. I even pumped primer ball as much as I could 2 pumps and wasn’t able to squeeze anymore..
it’s just when it has to push the boat it doesn’t hit high rpm and get up on plane. Bright side I just sat back and let Zella drive because we weren’t going anywhere fast.. and she learned some rules. 1957 Ranger IV
Love the Feathercraft!! Some people want to know how a watch works, others just want to know what time it is. |

I’m sure you probably covered it but have you been through that carb?

Ohio ya kind of, we made the best of it. She’s pretty discouraged also and been waiting a long time to actually enjoy it rather than hear and look at it. I did get her out like I promised before school started but far from the experience we had hoped. A lot has come together and digging to look at the positives.. couldn’t have done much of complete set-up without the feathercraft family guiding me in the right direction to be straight. It certainly gets cold up here but I do plan on using throughout winter so maybe by Christmas her and I will actually get to enjoy a well running Ranger in next couple months lol

Seeing her steering the boat helps make it all worthwhile doesn't it?!

Dan/Ray ok to start thank you a little slow but get it hopefully.
interesting on condenser! John mentioned that the condensers are made of wax/paper now vs mika like back in the day.. shelf life is crap.. I just purchased these condensers and actually remove the one on Top cylinder because it was suspicious to me but I learned yesterday from John that testing uF with digital meter on them isn’t a true test.. I will remove and put older one back in.. sad that a guy can’t buy service kit with good parts though they are new. The points that I received with kit seem flaking and originally didn’t even meet flush having to tweak(bend) them. Which seems wrong to me as they are delicate. 1/2way on transfer port cover hopefully test output of fuel pump for flow this week. thanks for info! 1957 Ranger IV

I second Dan, bad condenser. They are very tricky to test but cheap, replace it or it will continue to burn the points.

You may have a bad condenser on that one set of points. The condenser suppresses voltage spikes and a bad condenser can cause the rapid degradation of the points.
Your video shows that you are absorbing the knowledge being laid down. Well done.
