[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 295169, member: 10361"] Thanks. It was quite a rush running up the river at 31mph, 35 coming back down. Definitely not the speed I will be cruising at, steering is very sensitive. I had drilled another mounting point on the steering nozzle arm to allow for faster reaction and more travel, I'm going to put the cable back on the stock location since I need LESS steering. This thing will turn on a dime just like a jet ski, without the getting wet part. I was very happy to see nothing leaked and that the hull showed no signs of flex, felt very solid. When I got home today I pulled the carb off and tore it down. Found lots of trash floating around the jets, and chunks of buildup under the needle seat that were breaking loose. After I got it all cleaned out and put back together, I fired it up and immediately noticed a difference in idle, and throttle response was instant. I've got to take it for registration inspection tomorrow and then work all day, so Sunday will be the next testing session. Will have more to share then. FRANKENJON LIVES!! hahahaha [/QUOTE]
