4 boxes and harnesses to make 2 plus spares... one done and one almost done...
I'll dress off the harness in the boat... There will be some mucking about to disable the security, light the Boat Tachs, and connect the ignition switch harness. thankfully thats all been worked out by others before me...

engine assembly started... the first one gonna take a couple days... its like a jigsaw puzzle... and for reference the wave runner service manual is way better quality than the 2006 AR230 HO supplement... i have the stator on, and the gearbox stuck on with no o-ring as I am waiting for a oil pump drive gear... i have 4 of then and only 1 serviceable and i need 2...

starboard engine Injection/airbox, done, oil tank cleaned and flushed, oil pressure Tee fitting gonna work fine... waiting on parts now for final assembly, making sure all the hoses fit, just need to clean up the bottom part of the header... gonna start on the port engine this week. Im glad i did it this way ... its a little more work however I'm now pretty familiar with how these things go together...

Had to improvise some of these aluminum washers... I could have made them on the lathe but I found these suspension bushings for my old golf cart, a quick snip with my handi cut and I saved $60 and didn't have to wait for unobtainium from Shizuoka....

started putting together the port engine today... I had so steal some parts from my Milkshake motor :eek: but all the parts I needed were clean and serviceable. I also looked over the oil pump situation... Im guessing that the VX pumps would work however I'm not gonna take a chance this far in... two new 6B6 oil pumps and gaskets on order from Yamaha

Parts starting to trickle in... ill prolly open these bolts up a bit in lathe and mill to flow a bit better.. or not...
you get the idea a banjo fitting to go with the rifle and cross drilled bolt and some 1/4 inch line... and suck the last quart and a half out....
