Re: Starcrafter65's 1968 Holiday Resto Thread with Lot's o PICs!
Ok - Been so busy that i haven't had time to keep up the thread.
New Motor and Outdrive in and working well. Had to troubleshoot thewiring, ended up getting the carb rebuilt - as well as the alternator - the old gauges don't work well - or I have them hooked up wrong - BUT motor purrs, everything shifts well, no leaks, no smoking, so phew! New battery too....The only thing left old is the HULL!
I had the excellent luck of finding a "side job" marine mechanic. I bought the drive from him and I worked with him in 2 sessions to mount, wire, and troubleshoot the drivetrain. He saved me weeks and billed me about $50-70 an hour. He had all the tools and knowledege - THANKS ED!!!
Managed to install the flooring today - Nautolex Shark....looks awesome and will hide everything, painted the "engine bay".
Soon, mount trim pump, battery, build doghouse, seats etc, I can see the end of the journey.!!
Cool Rat bike I saw the other day!
