Kingers BOOSTED garage....

If that's a 66 series Aerocharger on it, depending on which size, it's good to about 12 lbs on an Apex engine.

That would be perfect! I need to find the size if I recall it was one of their larger ones.

Kinger you are definitely the mad scientist of boosted sleds...awesome...like Frankenstein in a good way though

Well that was short lived, started it up, loaded up killa bee then came back it chugging on 2 cyl until its death. Fouled a plug for sure. Was pig rich. Its never done that in its life. Must be something off in the tune.

On the orange flame tomorrow I guess!

Did 70 miles. Was pissed BOB didn't make it but the flame did back up duty like a
Boss!

It was all over shadowed by my LEGAL 13 yr old daughter driving for her first time alone and handled Killa bee like a pro! She had sooo much fun and already pulling up the forecast on her own and bitching about the 40 degree temps coming next week like a true sled head!

Sometimes it’s possible to get caught up going fast, but going 30mph watching your kid falling in love with the sport is truly more rewarding!! I’ll get to BOB but Im going to savor today! It was my birthday and I couldn't have had a better day!

Man, some days I tell ya! BOB is all fixed!

Makes me wonder how good my sump is, I was hoping to suck the tank dry. Ill have to watch mileage closely when we get snow next year…..

Fuel pump location. Hard to find a spot for this long walbro. Hopefully it will prime and stay primed as the tank empty’s.

I need more "hoping" I am having issues before I even left the shop where if it doesn't have 5 gallons in it, its not building fuel pressure or running well. This is NOT what I was hoping for. I don't really have a good plan to fix it either. On a trail it will be different with fuel sloshing around but so far not a happy camper, I really wanted to suck the tank dry, as its one thing I really wanted was 120+ miles of range. I do have a Holley hydramat, might have to use that somehow.

Sadly I had to store BOB for the year, what a JIP!

The flame finally getting some love! GSE power steering with a manual lock! Best of both worlds. Vid coming soon!

Am surprised to see you went the GSE route as opposed to just the factory EPS. Even more so since it has been well documented via this post and how based on your previous posts, you like to wrench on your sleds. I recall the GSE kit being on the salty side so was the lockout feature that important for you? Now knowing what others have found, I'd rather have the OEM version but am not aware of this lockout feature offered by GSE. I have EPS on my Apex and never had the need to have it locked out so IDK. I do recall reading previous posts that GSE has revised their kit from their first offering so maybe this was one of those new features.

I’ll explain in the video! Pros and cons for sure. Oem is nice but cuts power assist at speed. Which I thought I would want but looking at data logs from Bob I’m actually going at speed where I would want the power assist. So the flame will be my comfy cruiser of the family. BOB the skis are in the air lol.
