787 Block-off kit for pressure testing

Not open for further replies.
Well I've tossed the idea around and I'm not getting much action all. Perhaps Dr Honda was right ... I would've thought the snowmobile crowd would be all over these kits. These two stroke engines go from running temperature to -50C to running temperature all season long. and many failures occur from a crank case leak.

Anyways I would be all over the kit. Im just a little unclear of what you meant by: are the solenoid for the e-Rave's a sealed unit? Can you clarify a bit for me and I'll try to answer as best I can.
 
Here's a pic that kinda shows where the e-raves are. If you need to point me to what your after.

Dan, you still making these? I had no idea you made a kit like this. I need a kit for a 951 and 787.
 
These kinda died out. The guy who was gonna waterjet them for me fizzled out. If you want I'll hand cut a set real nice. Man you're digging up all my threads tonight, LOL. I'll shoot you an email, I gotta check to see if I have the material (pretty sure I do).
 
the last couple engines I tested, I made plates from thin gauge sheet metal & then sandwiched the plates between the manifolds & carbs, exhaust etc. then pressurized at the pulse line port. Nowhere near as nice as the sets Dan was making, but it worked fine in a pinch.

Honest, everything I have been googling your threads keep popping up! lol

Bummer, about the water jet guy. Is there another? Let me know.
 
LOL, I got Google running through my veins!!!!!!!!!!!

I can make them really nice by hand, not like a beaver cut them. To get pricing low I need quantity for a water jet and right now I don't want to go out on a limb and inventory them. Last stuff I made for Jetskigoodies was way better than mine. I need to get to the shop anyway I need to permanently borrow a storage rack for my shop at home.
 
About 5 years ago, I was at a water jet cutting facillity for unrealated business. This company was just opening up & had installed what was at the time a "newer" type of waterjet system. The guy was showing me how it worked & how it would cut through pretty much any material. He mentioned he could load drawings created from acad programs like autodesk, & could cut with very little setup if he had a drawing file in hand.
sounded like most of the labor was in the drawings? If this is true, I would think once you own the files for your plates they could be re-made reasonably? But probably expensive the first time around if you paid for the drawing time?

The reason he mentioned that was becasue he was saying that clients could email him the drawing & have things made that afternoon if his schedule allowed.

Seemed pretty slick

I wonder if you could get with him again and we could do a small run? I'm sure there has got to be at least 10-20 people who would want these?
 
I used to do autocad as a job. Not anymore. Those would be super simple to draw up on the program...shouldn't be hard at all
 
Can I buy the ones you sent me? Ive been using them all summer and you never told me you needed them back. I dont wanna be the guy that permanently borrowed them...

Could you draw some up for us if you have he program? Maybe you know some in the business that can do a small run for us?
 
I already drew them up, I run AutoCAD at work. The hard work is done. I'll run it past the guy when I get to the shop, probably later this week. Here's the drawings.

If I remember correctly there was 5-6 guys total and I was having a few sets made to get the price lower. I was going to inventory those for a future sale, not something I really wanted to do.

Yeah I guess so, I wasn't in a real hurry for them. I think I'm going to have a few 787 project in the near future possibly. I'll shoot you a PM.

Sweet! Love it when a plan comes together. Dan do you think those original prices you posted are good? I think we just need to get word out so people actually know we are doing a group buy (I had no idea on the last one). Get some pricing together and i'll spread the word around. Hopefully we can get at least 10 people in on it?


I'm in for a set of 787 and 951 kits. I have a buddy Matt that would probably also be interested.

Ragtop you in for a kit?
 
OK, I'll be at the shop like Thursday or Friday and I'll rattle the guys cage again. Pricing should be the same or close. I'll post up.
 
I don't suppose I could get a complete set of drawings so I can have some made for myself. I am New Zealand and think this would be easier.*
Thanks
