I think thats the 3 incher. I wish we could have thar background on the small gauges.

Saw this and thought of your color scheme.

 

[glsmohio]

That does look good! I love my jet trim though

 

[Ankeneyou]

Yeah, the problem is that's a hump seat with a regular non-hump cover. Wouldn't be a horrible deal of the cover was the correct one. Also not many people would have a green x4.

Well I spent some time making sponsons over the weekend and installing miscellaneous stuff. Waiting for stuff to come in at the dealership odds and end little things that I'm replacing that I can still get oem. I did get my reservoir setup for my Loop for the RV. Never did this before so I hope it works.I'll take a pic of it in the ski when I get home.

 

[glsmohio]

got some more done, starting to come together. Sponsons are on and the lower seadoo logo installed. Working on putting all the stuff back on the hull now...

Loving that color scheme, reminds me of my pride and joy :cheers:

Are you running trim gauge thru the hull and multiple gauge on hood?

Other way around

 

[glsmohio]

Well getting the motor put together.
Also got my light weight fly wheel done. I didn't go crazy but I think it should work just fine.

 

[mikidymac]

Did you just drill holes in the flywheel? I hope you are going to have it balanced.

 

[glsmohio]

I milled them in it. I will to see how much it's off but I can't imagine it's off that much...

 

[glsmohio]

where do I get the fittings that go in my novi head...menards doesn't have them. Looks like I need 1/4 to 1/2 hose fitting

 

[Matt Braley]

I rob them out of stock pipes. Yes I think it's 1/4" NPT to the 1/2" barb. Someone on here probably knows a reasonable source(I hope).

 

[glsmohio]

does that look about right?

 

[Matt Braley]

yes looks good

 

[Sloanman7]

do you have a Grainger in your area?

 

[racerxxx]

Just go to home depot, plumbing section they have a board with brass fittings on it. That's 1/4 npt

 

[Ankeneyou]

[glsmohio]

Does anyone know the bolt size and what not used on the back of the engine to hold the exhaust?
