So, I'm starting to get everything buttoned up after and bunch of wiring, sealing and such.
Does anyone have any tricks to get new exhaust hose onto the risers. It's 4" hose with wire. I lubed with WD inside the hose and on the riser, but it's not going.
Should I try grease or is there something else that will help?

Don't ever recall any using reinforced wire in it, that's why the trouble. When I have used that type of hose for suction side on hydraulics I have heated first few inches in hot water then liquid soap to install.

Have the elbow off. Put on y-pipe, the insert elbow. Then mount elbow to the manifolds

Scott,
I have the elbow off. I can get the elbow in the exhaust hose, but getting the hose on the riser is the problem. I'll try and grease up the hose and riser this weekend.
