Got it fired up. Likes to stall at idle when you let out the clutch. Runs a lot better if you have fuel in the tank. Turned up the fuel, at 1000° it feels like it has the same power as the old engine did at 1150°. Need to adjust the clutch a little. I will drive it like it is for a while, and throw seafoam in the tank.

That's good news Stretch. Now if I can find an engine I'll do mine.

So is this the 3rd or 4th motor for the 108?

Just keep her running. She is looking good.

AWESOME! Glad that engine will see some action after just sitting hidden away for so long.

3rd engine since I have had it. Hopefully the last.the gas engine for it ran good, but every gasket and seal was shot on it.
GA rally is in the back of my head, but I don't think it will happen. I will drive it to the marango show this weekend, see how it does.

Started reading this and thought what the heck.....blew up the new motor you got at Haspin this year?!?!?! then noticed this started LAST year sometimes I have to wonder about myself!!!

Anyway.. is THIS motor the one you picked up this year? Glad to see the truck running.

Yep, this is the engine from Haspin, big thanks to Adam for getting it to me.

Drove it a little more, and tuned the pyro in some. Feels pretty smooth and strong, see how it runs on the way to Marango. Idle problem fixed itself. But the speedometer quit on it, one more thing to fix.

Glad to hear you've got her going again.
