Captain's New Boat

[Captain PegLeg]

Well, financially... I still have some parts to finish paying for. Physically, Paul still hasn't received my tpe cylinder from Erik. So it's just not in the cards this year. Plan is to have it for wave daze.

Robby, put some 2x4's under those braces. Would not trust just those connectors alone to support the weight.

2x4s were added before Daytona, and the trailer did flawless the entire trip! Its ready for Wavedaze.

Cylinders made it in... Paul now has everything to assemble the motor! One step closer....

All big parts are paid for! Pump should be here soon, carbs are ordered and pay for, and cylinder should be on its way back from nikasil. Only lack a few hundred bucks of misc parts and then it's assembly time...

When is the test and tune? I'm ready to ride!!

 

[Captain PegLeg]

I am hoping before wavedaze! Not quite sure though........... I don't want to rush the TPE together and ride it at wavedaze with it not right and mess something up. I could throw a 61x in it and a small prop so there is no worry about rushing. Paul still has some time to put in on the cylinder, but it should be back from nikasil any day now if not back already. Carbs are also on order from Ed at full spec as well.

Thanks @Philip Clemmons !!

Huge step finished today... 155 pump shoe installed! Should go like clock work from here. There was a lot of work getting that bad boy in there.

Should have it ready by wavedaze, but with my temporary 701 (stock 701, Ada head with 195psi, single 49 full spec, tnt pipe, 155 mag, zero flywheel and msd enhancer.) tpe is almost complete, but we are waiting on the head and domes... I'd much rather have the tpe done right, and give us suffiient time to tune before ruining something.

Piddled a little tonight and got the pump shoe down flush with the hull, and grinded on the intake grate on the back to get it to fit right. Next step, pump install.
