Smoofers' Super Chicken Build (Mostly Complete)

[smoofers]

Took you 23 miles to get up to speed i see! =D

Lol. No, it was just running like a scalded dog and I was having too much fun. Traversed half of the lake that day.

When you installed the new plug wires in the coil, what was the process for that?

Thanks,

The plug wires fit snugly into a bore in the coil, which has a spike at the base of the bore that stabs the copper core of the plug wire. The plug wires are epoxied into that bore. To replace, you just need to work the plug wire around to break or loosen the epoxy until you can get the old wire out. Once you've got the old wires out, test fit your new wires into the coil and then set them in place with epoxy.

Got it, I have only ever seen the 4-stroke kawasaki coils which use a different coil-wire connection. Thanks for letting me know.

How has the appliance epoxy held up on the items you painted.

So far it has held up really well. However that’s not saying much since the ski is stored inside and covered.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Pretty cool that Mark Gomez used my graphics scheme for his wife’s super chicken.

smoofers, I'm thoroughly impressed with your build , your impeccable attention to detail, and your garage set up !! It rivals even my garage however I'm lacking a small h-frame & glass beader. The technical information you shared w/ the h2o members is spot on ( I only read about half ) , factually accurate (ie: mold release) for an example. The "spike" @ base could also be called a " lance" from a designers viewpoint.... just thought I would share that , since your technical acumen is so complete.

2 Thumbs up !! It has to be my favorite "superchicken" post of all time on all forums .

Well Done

I love this build. One of the best retro mods I’ve seen. Should hit up youtuber Adam LZ. He just purchased one. He’s down in Florida but will be bringing it up to CT for the summer. Give him some pointers.

Was talking about the chicken today and realized I never updated after adding the enhancer and head. I clocked it at 48mph. Pretty sure I can get 50 with a bit more tinkering, just haven’t had the time.

Did you use a Timing Advance plate at all? If so, how much timing did you add?

Found this one on south jersey craigslist. Guess you inspired someone

No timing advance plate installed. I wouldn't recommend one in tandem with an Enhancer either.

What jets are you running in your chicken?

Thank you!

I know other guys are building 750 swapped chickens with single 46 or dual 44s etc. But... My setup just freaking rips. I feel zero need to change anything.

Since you have been through this already and I have been screwed on the "running" motor I picked up of the FB superchicken page. What am I missing in this ebox to make it run once the motor comes back from JM?

Looks like verything is there except for the cap that has the start/stop leads and connectors.

Inline fuse is missing as well. I found a wiring diagram online. Hopefully everything works! I know nothing on the kawi ebox.
