a video of the the motor blow at the Mother Lode show

Ok. I guess these folks have done this at the last 10 Mother Lode shows. I feel sorry for these engines but it was kinda cool to see how/how long a DP 1600 runs without any oil. Roughly 4 and half minutes at full throttle, no oil. They ended up have to make a few adjustments cuz it kept starving for fuel, but a total of about 4 and a half total run time minutes. Here are 2 clips of the first start and the end. Believe it or not it wouldn't run anymore but it still turned over at the end....so new bearings and go somemore?

Heres the start of the end:



Heres the end

I love the Mother Lode shows, have had good times at both Angels Camp and Murphys!

Good venues and good people, plus I can never complain about a motor blow at Angels Camp, or just walking down the street in Murphys. Been a couple years since I've made it to Murphys, gonna have to make sure it's on the calendar next year.
