I'm jealous. Is that engine rebuilt? It looks so clean it's ridiculous. Welcome!

No rebuild, was sold to us as a very low mileage Jap import, all the bare metal was very clean and rust free wen we bought it. we only washed off a lill gease and grime.
The steels are in black paint now, the aluminum is still bare.

At the moment we are looking what kind of impeller will work, we are told one from a yamaha fx 1800cc would be something for us to work with.
No impeller on hands means no final drive shaft and that keeps us from finnishing the bearings and chain drive
We have been working back on the wiring..........putting labels to the wires.
