front upper link back in, new driveshaft in, brake line replaced.  steering and brakes bled, full zip tied!

tomorrow shock parts order should be in, need to pull all 4 shocks for parts to swap in, going to increase spring rate in the rear also.

12 laps of short course is too much for my cooling system.  first time its been pushed.  We got lucky Derek West flipped in the woods caused a Red flag that gave us 20minutes of recovery time before the last 4 laps of the race once restarted.

we need more HP simple as that if ever coming back to Sturgis. 


new shocks in the rear and springs felt good.

total fuel cell disassembly last night.  Found hardlines and walbros on top of foam chunks.  drained, pulled foam, cleaned and shopvac'd crap out of cell.  leak checked pickup to walbros no leak. 

pulled foam, reassembled, fixed leaking cap.  (was a vented cap)

changed fuel filter, all is good so far.

foam was in good shape- there was chunks of disolved black hose, black gasket and orange gaskets.  the 70um walbros really keep any big crap from getting up to the main filter and pump. 


im going to go solid baffling for KOH now that the cell is clean.  my try the grey thin sewer drain and see if fuel kills it

probably just give Wayne 200$ for his stuff.  Might ask our materials people here for off the shelf ideas to put up with pump gas

thats not a terrible idea lol


we have about 10 YJ poly tanks out back, also have a 22 gallon fuel cell.  could cut some 2" rings and stick them in.  would be a lot of deburing thouh from a chain saw blade or circ saw the cut it

Wouldn't take much to clean them up with a fresh flap wheel. Would be harder to make sure they are really clean than deburred. I don't know about the shape of those YJ tanks and making shapes that wouldn't nest, while still fitting through the hole.

i was thinking taking the tank and slicing it like a loaf of bread,2-3" thick rings would fold into the 6" hole i have.  i bet 2 tanks would do it with 20 rings
