Well, mine certainly ain't runnin'100%, matter of fact it's not running at all

Soon though. I was supposed to drop off the outdrive this weekend but Larry Peto wasn't going to be around. Next Saturday. I'm changing over to XZ gears.

I'm also converting the electric fuel pump system over to a return style regulator. Just waiting on a guy to machine a piece of 1" aluminum hex stock so I can make my feed manifold. (been waiting 4 *%$# weeks)

Plus a few cosmetic changes.

That isn't just AZ bullshit. I go down every couple weeks and visit my crankshaft. All we have left is to balance, but that was a month ago. :rotflmao

All I can do now is laugh. :guns

No, I really didn't want to ship the crank off. There is one guy around here that does crank work in house, and he does a good job too. But, I screwed up and told him I wasn't in a hurry..... DOH!!!!! :beat

I called the other day and it will be done by the time I get back from this little winter break. We'll see. :rolleyes

Thanks GFR. The guy doing it works with me. We're finally back to 40 hour weeks this coming week, so hopefully he'll have it done this week. He supposedly had it bored to 29/64" (I think that was it) so it could be tapped to 1/2" NPT, then two holes tapped to 3/8" NPT for the feed to the carbs.

I did order another length of 1" hex stock just in case he doesn't get it done. If not I'll give you a holler!
