    Cool project but I hope he can keep it together. They were not the most reliable of outboards, mostly because of 8 carbs. I saw quite a few in the day running on 7 cylinders because a rod was hanging out of the block.

    Yeah that is an awesome idea. The motor running video was on here about a year ago.

    If you look at the yellow tape over the intake near the front subframe, he has come up with some kind of injection system and got rid of the carbs.

    But I have no idea how he thinks the top end will get any lubrication running mixed gas. Oil is heavy and that is a long way for it to go. The last thread we had about this, someone found a dune buggy on a dyno with a 2 stroke outboard. It was turned on its side which I think is a better idea.
    Trikes: All Honda: 84 250r, 85 86 and 87 250sx, 84 and 85 125m, 79 82 84 and 85 110's, 73 us 90 and 77 atc90, 75 atc70
    Cycles: Honda: 71 cb100, 78 cb750 coming soon cb750 trike. Yamaha: 67 yds 3 (250cc, 2cyl, 2 stroke), 82 750 SECA
    Other toys: Chenoweth VW sandrail dune buggy, old race go kart, racing mower, 76 Arctic Cat Pantera 440 snowmobile

    KEEP IT ON ALL 3 OR AT LEAST 2 AT A TIME

    In high school we build a mid engine sand rail frame for our shop teacher, and we used a Johnson 275hp outboard boat engine with a beefed up VW IRS transaxle with a custom adapter plate. It flew at Glamis! 2-strokes rule.

    We had a very cool teacher his name was Mr. Freeman and he was quite the free spirit. Older guy, Glamis manic, hot young chicks everwhere...unreal! Fun times.

    He would come to me and my buddy and say hey you guys have been doing this all your lives do you want to build a sand rail and a Mazda pre-runner truck?
    OR weld a bunch of scrap together? Plus you get a budget & a A+ grade for the year.

    We didn't think about it for long! LOL
