Je conseille de remplacer les 2 durites d'essence a l'intérieur du réservoir car avec le temps elles fondent

That thing's a little hot rod sounds good

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

I'd like to see a work someday

[@clockbench]

Heya, I've just finished this little project off, going to take it to the beach in the next couple of days for a run I'll get some good video footage of it and upload it to youtube.

[@AlbertoMazza-r2t]

Dove hai comprato le guarnizioni del carburatore?

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

I think looks really cool but I'm very puzzled

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

You can run a two-stroke engine underwater😮?

[@clockbench]

No, the actual engine can run under water but the air intake is above from the snorkel. I've detailed it in my previous Aquascooter video.

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

Where does the exhaust come out?

[@clockbench]

It comes out just under the propeller .
