Well just ordered a new 35 cdi go-devil for my 1656gd boat cant wait for it to get here and try out. Plus coco sending me a rear floatation that they put in the back of the boat like the new gd boats have. He is a nice guy and the service has been great. also sent me new foam awhile back with all the stuff to put it back in the boat.

awsome man!! post up some pics of that bad boy when u get it!

No problem. Will do and ill get some reviews when i get a chance.

I went and picked it up for him in jackson today. We got it put together and on the boat. Went for a liltest run and seems to be pretty stout. Gonna try to take mine and his out tomm evening and run em a bit

Thats right, remind me to bring the gps.

That rear flotation is a pain. At least it is for me. Takes up too much space and won't let you put the handle all the way down to the floor.

Iam gona look at it good before i put it in, just to make sure if i like it or not.

Took it out 2day just for a min. Noticed the rpm stayed about 3400. Does that sound about right ?

what speed did u get at that rpm?

Didnt have my gps , but i will tomorrow. Did notice that it went go down to 3360 with with 3 people and 3400 with just me.

u should def be getiing at least close to 4000 rpm if u have the correct pitch prop and ur not trying to push a barge

10X6 Factory prop pushing a 1656gd and the motor aint even got a hour own it.

what does it turn out of water?

that doesnt sound right, i would check that the throttle is reaching the stop at WOT, and maybe adjust the governor. check it on the trailer, if the max rpm's are waay higher than with a load, the gov may need adjustment

Forgot 2 look just got here this evening so i put it 2 gather and went 2 water. ill have more info when i get out tomorrow. its reaching wot and its in the 1 slot own the gov.

well least the spring own the thing is in the 1 slot . lol Time 2 get a nother beer.

makin sure we on da same page-NO.1 slot_u mean at the end of the arm right?

Yea but the thing got numbers to. Noticed the spring didnt realy pull own it much at wot . Wonder if go-devil got these things turned down a bit?

u can get replacement springs that pull harder, theyre color coded. get a service manual for your engine from a lawnmower shop, it will tell you everything about adjusting rpm's. we all know more rpm's = more speed

yea, gona look that up thanks for the info figured that 3400 didnt sound right .

on da trailer, i get max 4350, sometimes 4400. wit jus me, 4100 and 22 or 23 mph. 25 gdlt

will check and report back tomorrow rpm, speeds.

Ok, out of water she is 3800. In water 3360/ 3400. Aint got any speeds own gps so ill get that first chance i get.

You can turn the gov up to 4300. The cdi has a built in rev limiter that won't let you over that anyway. Make sure the butterfly on the carb is opening all the way too.

it act like it is hiting the gov. how do i turn it up? Do i move the spring down the bar or what do i do?

you will know when rev is hitting. my 35 cdi lt starts popping drops me back to 4000 something scared the heck out of me the first time it happened. youl love it once ya get it set up right . mine drives it self dam near. Way better than my 18hp .
