Drag Boat Engine (cold start, loud!)

Alcohol blown V8 drag boat cold start at a vintage car show in Uba City CA

[@jimharris2452]

I got married had 3 kids and came back to this video and they were still trying to start it

[@robnordal1906]

Sound of HEAVEN 😍❤️!GOTTA LOVE ZOOMIES!

[@robnordal1906]

Sound of music!! Screw the neighbors 😂😤

[@robnordal1906]

Fuck em if they can't take a joke eh...

[@TheoneGodfather]

Beautiful sound.

[@georgedori51]

Badass boat,, Nice Thanks for the vid.

[@appealingpit]

Start that up at 2 am so your neighbor can hear that.

[@cmsracing]

Prime the engine with cheap gas, it will start right up and put some heat in the cylinders so the alky. will start to burn. I do it every week end, for about 20 years now!

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]

you are so right there mate NO IDEA WHAT SO EVER

[@bartsmith5320]

I love the smell of burnt fuel in the morning!

[@Uniquecapture]

Bart Smith the smell of victory eh

[@kollak01]

or the smell of un burnt fuel with all that cranking

[@daynejordan6783]

The inexperience and lack of understanding with this setup is front and center. I certainly hope in the 10yrs since this video was taken that lessons have been learned. Unbelievable.

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]

you are so right there my friend

[@ronyoung6054]

Mechanical fuel injection, need to prime it more is all, nice motor i have a similar one in a larger boat 👍

[@djkonore]

@sonymclaren Cold starts usually take a while. It might not have been started for ages before that time.

[@violett10312]

NICE..!!!!!

[@magster65]

The relief valve is opening. That's what the 'smoke' is at the front when she blips the throttle.

[@penztoy]

The o-ring that seals the blower base to the manifold plate had a tear in it. I thought it was fixed but apparently it wasn't. The reason it was so hard to start it that I had just fab'ed up a pressurized fuel primer assembly the night before and couldn't get the pump to pickup the fuel from the side tank. She knows what she's doing... that's Penny Boring, drives a alcohol dragster in Div 7 Super Eliminator (7.90 index 1/4mi) and also we run in the Top Eliminator West events (6.30 et. 1/4mi)

[@jayupc8408]

sex yang bisa

[@magster65]

Sweet! They used to run IHBA events locally but not anymore. I think the nearest race is in Oregon somewhere now although I haven't been. We hit Mission raceway once in a while... the eliminators are running at the Lordco Nationals in June... we'll be there for that weekend for sure! Seen a lot of women in the dragsters in the past few years... gotta love it!

[@sonymclaren]

@djkonore I would have got board filming it and I love the sound of a blown V8.

[@buzzerbill4018]

they look like they don't know what they're doing

[@precbsfender]

Cold start injector issues.. once the injector hat is primed the holes light...standard protocol for vintage blown big blocks..

[@garyvictor7997]

PRE CBS FENDER so where's the bottle then, buzzer bill is right

[@RyanMcIntyre]

I agree. His inexperience is obvious.

[@bretmuldner]

It aint guna light without FUEL!!

[@donaldhampton6503]

Cold start? Can't be to cold that guy is wearing shorts ! . LOL. LOL. LOL

[@jacksonstephens4871]

"Heyyyy this is going be loud plug your ears"she says

[@topfuelkustomz3729]

Jackson Stephens she a pussy

[@hunterinalberta]

A little bit extreme.A go cart next.

[@doinjusfine1]

Don't think these fellas know what there doing..

[@billville111]

+doinjusfine1 . . . exactly right. . . .

[@nuffsaidkyle90]

the starter isn't rolling the motor over fast enough it isn't no cold start

[@madeintheusa9744]

That's a conservative hp number or tune. That's a massive blower! I figured 1200.

[@kh40yr]

Dump the crappy 12V system and ball up to a 24V. You'll thank me later.

[@finscreenname]

Hey I think the motor is in backwards. Sorry, had to.

[@djkonore]

@sonymclaren That was after I edited it down!

[@stuartrobinson58]

Cold start it's minimum 15c try -15c

[@rsmith3033]

its tha dam-dis thing ? if we could have an engine that u cud here n tha next state it still wud not b 2 loud 😎

[@Bricklinsv1970]

That's got to be more than 1000 horse power?

[@huskernation193]

Maybe around 8,000 horsepower

[@Bricklinsv1970]

@@huskernation193 Holy crap!!

[@mr.dozer.7471]

Try the 24v start with a little shot of fuel down the hat.

[@penztoy]

[@robnordal1906]

This is a WHOLE LOT MORE THAN 1000 HP. DOUBLE THE HP RATING. LOL

[@robnordal1906]

Anyone want to go boating 😂😂😂😂😂

[@powerofone1645]

Wonder if it will fit in my Prius?

[@fernando13e]

+rod ney Maybe on a honda will

[@jake66000]

Fires up at 1:47

[@djkonore]

The term cold start refers to starting a cold engine, not the weather

[@TheMotor29]

a squirt down the injector hat would have been much easier

[@FredFukkinBear]

1000 HP isn't much considering there's Top Alcohol Flats that are running 3000-3500 HP and Top Fuel Hydros running 6000-8000 HP.

[@deenalaykie5260]

fredfukkinbear kikkinnigass we all gotta start some place! its quite a ways up from a jet ski! c ya at the lake!

[@kevinsuppes336]

😂 gas on

[@BigRig003]

so what happens if water goes through the blower when the boat is in the water

[@jamesharris5232]

theoutbackbandit Get on one and tell me if water gets in the blower...

[@deenalaykie5260]

I asked that very question of a very Top Alky team during a light rain in Waco..."This thing drinks about 4 gallons during a run, another drop or TWO, won't make ANY difference! Tim Stokes" other racers claim, "They are just resurfacing the track..." Here is the killer, it was wed night, thursday, before the last hauler was drug out of the "Mud pits" Thanks to all for a lifetime of good times and great memories!

[@kobraf150]

Wuss covering his ears! My 3 year old is tougher than him and LOVES my 460 w/open headers and told me baby's cover their ears!

[@riceski]

Landon Woods What did you say?

[@spencerleonard9706]

That engine is a lot louder than a 460....

[@chunkiermango7982]

Ford 460?

[@rjw5620]

I'm curious why is she sitting In the boat acting like they are going somewhere

[@sonymclaren]

By the time you got it started i'd be out of the mood to go boating. I'm already board of the video and it's a min in.

[@joshmockridge9522]

That was painful to watch how long it took these people to start it. Horrible

[@garyvictor7997]

motor built from junk parts, btw what's up with that intake manifold. raw fuel coming from under the blower that's quality shit right there put that thing to good use on the end of a chain

[@rocker7475]

Gary Victor hop

[@jgonzo910]

thats nothing i can put my ear near them exhaust pipes.. thats not loud..

[@elliottreynolds6901]

BBC grain truck motors

[@schmidt76ful]

trying to talk i cant do that with blown gas ......this alky motor was not even close to being right it never cackled number one .....the idle way too high ......you had idiots trying to fire without a priming bottle......lastly you cannot talk into someones ear with zoomies ........what a goddamn joke

[@phaloxx]

Put some alcohol in the hat for fucks sake. Way to burn out the starter....

[@schmidt76ful]

i was thinking the same....he lucky it hasnt popped holding the flys open

[@bigman55434]

Alcohol for a cold start? I think not. Try race gas. Alcohol doesn't light for shit when the engine is cold. Read the comments above. They had a primer tank that wasn't picking up fuel properly, so they engine was not getting a proper shot of race gas to light it off.

[@detroitbob58]

You're correct, don't have a clue, or any safety gear, earmuffs and safety glasses at least!

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]

if you guy"s know how to build motors like us. THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO START IT WHEN IT IS COLD .I WILL TELL YOU IN OUR WORDS .you have no idea in what you are doing .

[@mattg9479]

tuff ute engine!!! motors are electric..

[@Rether16]

1. I am sure the owner knows a lot more than you about combustion engines. 2. When is starting an engine classed as "tuning". 3. The uploader isn't even the owner. - who are you talking to? If you can't say anything positive don't say anything.

[@kliffwalker]

Real smart blipping the throttle,when there is no heat in the motor.You didnt even feel the motor to see if anything felt funny learn how to tune!

[@kentshuster8927]

Wast of people time

[@bravofoxable]

Squirt the go juice into the intake.... or go learn how to start a blown motor....

[@mr.t8624]

Some nubbiest trying to show off their new toy . = Fail

[@gruntabro1]

Way outta tune

[@thomaschandler7548]

That engine sounds like crap....
