    Bristol BOP Show

    Guys, unfortunately I won't be involved this year for personal, and family health reasons (to say the least, it's THAT serious now), and lack of communication issues between me and the facility early this year. The track is going to run it on their own for 2003. They are very competent people...

    Need some help with the alternator on my boat

    `geez,, take a DVOM and check the output voltage at the ALTERNATOR, then check the voltage at the battery terminals. Do this with both key on engine off, and key on engine on, then check the voltage signal to the VOLTMETER on the dash. Record the readings. If they are the same, the gauge is...

    Need some help with the alternator on my boat

    hmmm I have a 1992 Donzi Classic 22 with a 454 OMC.. mine did the same thing... turned out it was just a loose connection in the circuit at the starter solenoid. Check all your connections, and battery terminals. Also, we had a bad battery as well, we discovered this AFTER we fixed the...

    Fiscus Gets The Shaft

    Nick, I applaud you for seeing the issue, and attempting to dissect it right away. Good job. Ken is *dead on* correct about the tree being in MANUAL mode, thats just ridiculous, exactly what I said before. Whats the purpose of Pro Tree *Autostart* if it's in MANUAL mode?? Double bulb is...

    Fiscus Gets The Shaft

    hmm Nick, there ONLY two scenario's that could have happened. 1) They TOLD you the AutoStart was on, when in reality it WASN'T, and the starter flicked his switch, or the time delay timed out after O.C. staged. Unless YOU looked at the setup screen yourself, and saw the OFF toggled...

    Fiscus Gets The Shaft

    hmmm Nick, I spoke to Brockmeyer (who designed AutoStart and BG's timing system) personally, concerning this after BG last year. The SAME thing happened last year, and the year before that too... just because your time slip says it's ON don't mean so. Brockmeyer stated emphatically to me and he...

    Fiscus Gets The Shaft

    Okay, this IS the way it is supposed to work. The tree is ACTIVATED to START when the bottom bulb in either lane is lit. There is an adjustable variable timeframe that is adjustable in the tower computer from 1-15 seconds, before the red eye will light, IN THE STAGING PROCESS.. Say the...

    Fiscus Gets The Shaft

    yup.. That was Bruce Kent from CA driving Dave Benisek's Apollo. Dave was the original racer of my GS in 1972. These two guys personify the meaning of CLASS. I expected to hear that, knowing them both as I do... It is an honor being close friends with them. Dave, Bruce and I are very tight...

    Fiscus Gets The Shaft

    Okay guys, this is the way it is supposed to work.. That is, if they used the Auto-Start like was supposed to be used, for Pro Tree racing. I am going to state this one time only.. He who double bulbs in a Pro Tree Auto Start, before the opponent first bulbs, is a DQ racer. That's...
