Title: It's alive!
Post by: stc315 on June 22, 2012, 06:21:14 PM
Got her fired up. Runs ok, no leaks  :)  Still need throttle pedal (ordered today), gas filler gasket (ordered today), bilge pump (just noticed it's not working), batteries, air filter (just has spark arrester), and trailer marker lights (maybe wiring). Should be on the river by next weekend.  8)

If you're gonna leave Mt St Baker's engine cover on there, best leave the spark arrestor be......... :sly:

Update:
Got her tuned up. Timing was way out. Special thanks to Paul for timing advice (I will definitely be ordering the recurved Duraspark from Scott). I got registration done for boat and trailer. I installed new gas pedal (that thing sure is purdy!). I also bolted down seats and replaced missing bimini bracket.
To do still
Install fuel filler gasket
Install bilge pump (center pump is toast!)
Install batteries (Special thanks to Jared for core)
Test fuel tank switch (I may just go get ball valves at Lowes, I never trust electric ones)
Replace 4 broken marker lights
Test trailer wiring
Pull out old boat box and see what safety gear I need to get
Clean bimini (I hate freakin cats!!!) and find a boot for it

I should be able to finish most of that by tomorrow. Today is just too dang hot!!! Hope to be on the river this Saturday to do some testing and have it really ready to go for next Friday or  Saturday.
