Kiekhaefer Mercury six cylinder exhibition!

[Tim Kurcz]

The Indiana Outboard Association is hosting a “Carl Kiekhaefer 6-cylinder Mercury Memorial Exhibition” at Hillsdale, MI September 7&8.

The event is open to Alky and Mod hydros and runabouts with Mercury sixes only: Stackers preferred.

Clock start exhibitions will be two heats of three laps each day for runabouts and hydros run separately. Testing is available for a small fee Friday afternoon September 6.

Look for the APBA circular next week, and respond to this thread with roll call for what is certain to be a sweeeeeeet sounding event. See you there!

PS Assuming it behaves itself, the long awaited 666 Merc will make it’s debut!

Lon Stevens told me he had a "Slight" miss fire or "Stagger" in the timing of his 75-H's to keep them from breaking cranks.

What do you think or know about this??

IT was this "Miss Fir" is what gave the Steven's Sixes and strange noise!

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the tip. Sounds entirely possible, and be easily accomplished with the original battery dual point distributor. But, no way to split fire with a Merc 1500 battery CD that I know of. Any ideas?
