$4000??????

Rear cam follower is pouring oil and tightening it didn't do much so its off with the starter and replace the gasket. Found the hissing snake but not sure how to fix it. I'll have to pull the driver side fender-ette(?) to get a better look at it and fix that.

 

Sorry to hear that. Didn't mean to pass my illness on to you. FYI = smearing RTV and JB weld all over it won't help. LOL Thats what was all over it when I got her.

I really am not having a bad time working on the N-14, its just the parts are so dern heavy compared to the jet-ski's I normally work on. I'm betting that starter is going to weight as much as the whole darn ski motor.

 

I was planning to tie it off somehow. I don't think a 50lb starter dropping on my 125lb body would be a good thing. LOL Luckily the clutch was done about 250k ago so hopefully I won't have to tackle that anytime soon.
But hey, thanks for the kind thoughts on it . LOL

 

Gee's!!!! With friends like you ,who needs enema's or hemmeroids. LOL

Just got back from dealer with the build sheet for my truck. Accordingto this I have 3.55 gears. Calculating 3.55 gears, 22.5LP, 10th gear of .74 running 65mph shows 1399rpm's.
Thats seems perfect for the N-14 for best mpg's. Problem is that the tach shows about a hundred rpm's higher (1525rpm). Could the tach just be off? How could I test this? How could I recalibrate if needed? Thanks

 

Ok, this is starting to sound like you 2 may need to get a room.

But seriously folks. Why would CRST order the truck with no trolley brake?
How difficult would it be to add one?
