as the former owner of this beautiful sled, it was freaking fast, before the theft...it scared me kind of!

BTW::: a guy in the storage place by my house has a 26' shockwave named 'purple haze', just for the record

Yes I have seen it, I believe I saw it the day after he got it. The day I was going over to his house I thought I was going to see him waxing the Nordic, what a surprise to see to the Eliminator in his driveway Sweet, I miss my Cole.

your pressure gauge will only show you pump pressure not carb pressure the guage needs to go after the regulator

Hey Brian, The pics look Much better here then the ones you sent me on my phone, since the first boat you and I have owned we have learned a lot, taking engines out of one boat and putting it in another boat and so on, now we know where to put a pressure gauge thanks to Ralph,Glad we meet him and his family at parker a respectable person, His boat looks freaking fast .Who new you and I would both have Eliminators cool,I think I will hang on to mine for awhile .
Not to many trick or treaters tonight

Primed the carb today checking for leaks just my luck, fuel coming out of the sight hole of the float bowl tightened it up, but still leaks, maybe just needs a new washer, any suggestions?

also, should the fuel pump still remain running after the float bowls are full? (i set the regulator to 6 psi)

fuel pump will runt till you shut it off

checking the carb out today notice it has 30cc accelerator pump in the front and 50cc in the rear does this sound about right?

That's the standard size from Holley, if that motor is what Prospect says it is, I'd say you're going to want to go 50cc front and rear, and probably squared 82 jets.

Good luck
