Primed the lines with the old windpipe and the first start was completely successful. Started, idled like a champ. Thanks Paul !
Working on a fire extinguisher mount (in Ca it’s almost certain I’ll get interrogated on a lake) and have some reg numbers on order.
Final glamour shots, I love how...
Minor progress… finished making the bracket, pump mounted. Found that the rubber dampeners that washers/dryers are shipped with worked great to cushion the pump a bit.
But… my OCD is acting up and thinking of making another bracket with much less epoxy and/or a flat clear and align the fiber...
Check your nipples
Still working on the external pump set-up. Instead of combining two 5mm ID lines into one larger 6mm ID line to match up with the external fuel pump inlet, I decided to change out the nipples in my new RRP tank to 5/16” from 1/4”. Though they look bigger, the internal...
Yes, I’m running a php intake with a vforce reed cage. It would be fine with a stock manifold/reeds.
I too have rubbed holes in silicone exhaust hoses in the past, it’s just a matter of time with contact.

Thank you.
The tube is a few mm’s smaller in diameter, so it would have been a hard interference. I’m sure it would work, but I like the tube. I’ll figure out something trick for the pump.

While figuring the fuel pump, decided to polish and coat it, decal’d it.
Hate to put the reg numbers /
Stickers on it.

More progress today, motor in, carbon exhaust pipe and tube in. The carbs hit the tube, so going to use an external pump.
Turf done, came out ok. For some reason I always seem to trim something a bit short. Was a bit tricky fitting the FFH with the ebox bracket right where it wanted to be. Nice...
Can’t say I ever look forward to any turf job, but at least this one is only tray and front bulkhead. Foam almost done, used 25mm, 26mm a slice of turf between layers in the footholds, and some 10mm. shave and sand party tonight.

A bit of progress this weekend in between family stuff. Electrical complete, bilge complete. I did have to move the ebox over to clear the head pipe.
Getting close… have to fit-up exhaust, FFH, and the tray turf.

Good to know, thanks for the feedback!
I presumed since it wasn’t marked, but forgot to verify before buttoning it up.

So e-box is buttoned up and now I’m second guessing the solenoid wiring.
Does it matter which side of the solenoid gets the battery cable and which side the starter?

Made a ride plate too, for the hell of it I guess since nothing is wrong with the old one. Not perfect, but pretty good.
Will cut it out to fit the pump, but too much shim without the hole.

Finished the pole, cables, etc. Came out well, used Kwai snorkel tubes and decided to tuck them up. Front latch just clears the spring.. whew
Hope to regrow new fingers tomorrow

Tried my hand at building an e-box w/Zeel from all new parts (except the used but re-built stator from JM).
Tucking the programming cable in, don’t see me using it often. Grounding bullets in fuse tube.
