Slowly the ancient old machine began to take on life. Step by step, creakingly, agonizingly, it came together.
This is one of the carbs cleaned and mounted.
These are the slides and the metering needles. The slides control the air and the needle slides up and down in the fuel jet.
Here are the twin carbs assembled and connected to the throttle.
With the carbs mounted all that is left is the wiring. There are two main holes in the frame for the harness. Here I have it in the holes.
Here the wiring gets sorted out for the various circuits.
Now the long complicated part. All the wiring gets plugged into the correct points on the bike. Strangly enough the wires don't always color match so I am double checking with a wiring diagram. This would be done had one of my daughters not sank our SeaDoo at the lake. I almost have all of the water out of the engine.
