Some progress at the end of day 1...I actually did a whole lot more but I just didn't get pics. I need to steal back the TBM and mod chamber out of my other ski and this engine is ready to drop in and plumb. All electrical and exhaust work is done, just needs fuel and cooling lines.
-Installed RRP pole with Blowsion spring (that was fun, and the reason for the one deformed breath tube),
Assembled complete engine inc. starter, intake, carbs, stator, couplers and exhaust manifold (minus tbm flywheel and bendix).
Installed fuel filler neck and tube, bilge outlets, bypass outlets, bow eyes, motor mounts, Keeney Keepers, Waterbox, exhaust tube, Dual bilge pumps, rotary switch and cover, hood straps, Mid shaft and housing, SN Extinguisher holder, Enhancer, E-box, Impeller into housing, assembled and aligned pump, wired bilge pumps and charged the new battery.
I would have gotten more done but I spent 2 hrs running around town looking for stainless, metric hardware that I was short and of course suffered setbacks on just about every other step of the way. Other than the steering that didn't make delivery on friday, I will have this ski finished tomorrow afternoon.
