The tach wasn’t working the previous week. I tinkered with it, and now it seems ok at idle about 5-600rpm. At WOT only shows about 3k at 53mph. Props are stamped 7p, curious to see what Ron’s you get out of another similar 226.
Took it our over the weekend and ran great. With just the wife and I and under 1/2 tank of gas was able to hit 62 mph.
That’s quick! Still tinkering with mine fixing all the half way fixes that have been done over the years. My wife would murder me at 62mph lol.
