Matty, if you don't clean up that pipe setup before you finish it all up, I'm coming up there to kick your ass!

That said, looking good mang.....

yeah i know its getting the sand treatment tomorrow i promise!!! i just had to set it in there though. i think i will touch up the bilge area to with a little flat black.
i want everything clean and shiny, but at the same time im just ready to ride.

well after fitting a few more things last night i have a issue with the hood.
what have you guys done about the tubes inside other then a complete hood mod.
the front tube can be trimmed not a big problem, but the other is right on top of my carbs. i was thinking i could cap that one off and add another in the front across from the other?????? ant suggestions??

also my impeller is to tight!!! should i work the wear ring or impeller to make this fit???
im sure i can make it work i just want to make sure i do everything right i dont want to just rig this boat.

i need diameter, length, and pitch?

I may have some, I will look.

they use a 14mm socket so whatever that converts too.

 

[Scraggly]

hey bk if your refering to the pump bolts i got that covered now. thank you thought.
do know what i should do about the prop?

 

[Kennay]

is it a plastic or metal wear ring in the pump? if it's plastic, it should loosen on it's own

 

[Scraggly]

its metal

You can just cap the one tube off, and put another close to the front one. The air tube placement on those hoods are definitely setup for single carbs. When I had dual carbs on that motor I just capped the one tube off. Never had a problem with air flow.

thanks accbr! i was hoping to hear that. i dont want to mod the hood yet

 

[accbr]

I started to mod the hood. That's why there a small piece of kydex epoxied in there. :afro: Made one cut, left it a few days, changed my mind, and covered it back up.

ive been wondering why that was like that!!!

do you have an idea about my prop? i dont want to mess something up getting this to fit, im not sure if its a big deal or not.

 

[accbr]

Yeah, my A.D.D. kicked in, and I changed my mind on the hood mod.

You might want to change the wear ring if you can. A machine shop might be able to clearance it for you, but it shouldn't be hitting if it's good and not swollen.

Naked B-pipe Oh My!!

is this better kennay? i hope so took me 3 hours to clean that chit up with a sand blaster. powder coating doesnt give up easy.

 

[accbr]

There's a place in Lexington that would powder coat that any basic color for about $30 or $40. I checked on getting a b pipe done before.

 

[Scraggly]

do you have there info?

i gotta learn to say no lol

i have strayed little from the original plan, a lot really

 

[Kennay]

BEAUTIFUL! <3

Are you going to polish all of it or? Paint?

 

[Scraggly]

i would love to polish it but i will probably end up just painting it for now.

 

[Kennay]

Polishing the chamber shouldn't take too long

Paint the rest

Metallic silver on the manifold, black in the hp

 

[Scraggly]

i had a similar idea on those colors. and polishing that chamber would be a job to do it right. i spent over 20 hours polishing a gear shifter i made for my ss. started with 320 and went to 2000 wet sanding by hand only

 

[accbr]

It's Metal Cleaners. 859-255-3700. I can take it to them if you want to ship it up here. They quoted me $30 to powder coat an entire AC aluminum pole.

Do the chamber white, head pipe blue, manifold red,....:usa:

 

[Scraggly]

i might take you up on that, i was a little afraid to just mail it to them. i would feel better knowing you took it and picked it up.
