Successful launch last night. She floats and no water comes in. Its a good start. Ran for about an hour before I destroyed the prop in 4-ft of water.

Carb is whistling dixie. High pitch whine, almost sounds like a squelling belt. Any ideas? Sound comes and goes. I have confirmed the noise is in the carb. Exhaust?

Yuppers pics would be a big help here bud.

I once had a truck that whistling like that, it was a broken vacuum line that was the culprit. So you might want to see if there is a vacuum line that should be plugged that is not or one that is broken. Not saying that is it for sure but it is something that would be simple to check for.
