- Hello! I have a problem that I hope someone out there can help me with.
- I've got a Dumas Scarab with an Irvine 61 in it. It's got a tuned pipe,
- but for the last five years, I've been using it without the pipe tuned.
- I know that you use a tachometer to tune an airplane pipe, but I know that
- running the boat engine without load (small boat prop doesn't create the
- load when out of water) would be disastrous for the engine. Suggestions?
- Thank you in advance!
- -Greg
