I scratched the side of hood lip on the hull when I was putting the motor in and it almost came to that. Just waiting for spring to finish it up and get back on the water!

Dusted this thing off a few weeks ago and fabbed up the long exhaust tube. I still need to get that welded, get the turn plate machined, get some turf on the gas tank, drop everything back in, plumb fuel and cooling lines, wire it up, mount the bars and ride plate and then turf it.

If your wondering why its taking me so long, its because of things like this. I'll work on this and come out one day, look at something, and then decide I don't like it so I'll redo it. Today it was swapping out a strap mount, yesterday it was swapping out hose clamps. The good news is I think I'm finally done hammering on this exhaust tube to get the clearance I need to wrap some turf on it.

EPIC!!! finally it's just about finished and on the water!

Question i noticed that there are 2 outlets on the head like normal, but you have both of them going overboard along with the one off the head pipe. Correct me if I am wrong, but there is a line coming in from the pump which goes to the manifold and then you do the bottom of the pipe to the top of the head (rear fitting). One line overboard from the front fitting from the head and a line that goes from the front of the headpipe to the stinger with a T in the middle going overboard?

Just trying to figure out what is connected to the bottom fitting on the headpipe.

I actually have it setup with parallel cooling right now, I figured since I have two 1/2" through hull lines it wouldn't be necessary to run both to the manifold. I have one that runs to a t at the manifold, then the y coming out of the head to a pisser. The other line from the pump runs right into the bottom of the head pipe, then out the top to the stinger with a t to pisser. I was hoping the increased pressure to the pipe would help with the spray pattern and tuning of the pipe, plus if a line gets clogged it should be easier to diagnose.

I wired up the start stop switch and hooked up the positive lead to the battery and was able to turn the motor over for the first time. That was neat, but after checking for spark I realized I have a problem. Damnit! I was hoping to run some fuel lines and fire this thing up tonight, oh well.

I pulled out the meter and checked the resistance and voltage for both the charge and pulse coils and everything looked normal. Checked the start stop wires and everything was good there so I decided it was a problem with the MSD. Swapped it out for a known good 62t cdi and got spark. After doing some more investigating I was able to get spark with the MSD but had to run the black lead from the MSD that is meant to go to the coil directly to ground instead and then the black lead on the coil directly to ground. This seems really weird, has anyone else encountered this before?
