As promised, here is the Vivell 35 running. It tachs 9470 with a Rev Up 11-4 wood. It does 9150 on a B-Y&O 10-6.

Fuel is Coleman lantern fuel with 25% Castrol SAE70 m/c oil

In terms of "propwash", it seems to have lots more thrust with the 11" prop

That's not bad performance for a '40s engine. It probably would do a bit better on glo, but I didn't try glo.

Floyd, how do you adjust the ignition timing on that without whacking your finger off?

I start it with the spark timer fully advanced. It doesn't kick back. F.C.

At 9500ish RPM one might think the power was well past peak. Hence it will go up if you slow it down, hence a larger prop would be expected to work better.
