Well.
I did some more welding to make the prop tower absolutely ridge.
I did a dry running of the prop and drive at full power.
Every thing looked true and I felt no vibrations or odd sounds.
I did not run it long The clutch kicked in at 1500 rpm and at 3200 it
Had moved to it's extreme extent.
It is supposed to start at a 3 to 1 reduction then at full it should be at
near 1 to 1.
I was having a problem hand working the gas ,watching the motor tack, and
the lazar tack on the prop. But it looked like at 3200 motor speed it was 3100
prop speed. I was using my wooden 64" 34 prop.
It spun up to speed as fast at I could move the throttle.
I'm hoping the 3 blade 54" will load the motor a lot more, Or I'll need more prop.
