I don't think that the 'gluing' will be a problem. Last year Curt at Fastrax took a Rush completely apart. He had to warm the joints with a propane torch. It just fell apart. I can supply the glue to put them back on.
Here's the answer to the "How did it run question?". I mostly ride in an area that has no grooming. That's about 10 miles each way of 2' bumps spaced 6' apart. I had a few issues with components breaking, falling off and hose clamps coming loose. Once I got the components beefed up and the clamps saftey wired, I didn't have any problems. The fuel tuning stayed put once I had it dialed in. It didn't change from day to day. I think that is because with the air to water intercooler and the cold air intake the charge temps were consistant. Climbing up a hill digging I will show the low 60's mph at 9 pounds of boost.

Your custom aftermarket seat/fuel cell combo looks a bit uncomfortable and I suspect you have issues with range as well! You must have the longest arms in the world!:becky::becky::becky:
Turbo Pro year 2
We are progressing slowly on our preseason inspection. We are planning on replacing the chain, pistons, and motor mounts. We will be building a self-contained water system for our air to water intercooler. Some of this might seem overkill to many of you, but I've found that it is cheaper to overbuild the sled in September rather on the second day of a 5 day trip in January.
The last picture show the nice clean gray ash that is from running straight Avgas. I don't expect to find any carbon build up in the engine.
If you can think of things we should be looking for, please speak up.

Looks good. I am digging the colors.
The engine is out. We found one motor mount bolt broke(mag side rear). Reeds look good. As do the pistons. Head is really clean. The piston pin and bearings must have gotten very hot. They both turned blue. Any ideas on how that happened?

Looks like a oiling issue. Those bearings count on a good oil supply in the case, so maybe more oil in the premix is needed.
I have been running 32:1 ratio with Polaris Gold. Maybe something from the start. Anyway I'm sure that I avoided a breakdown in the woods by finding it.
I didn't notice the mount breaking loose. I'd suggest that each of you get an allen wrench and see that each of the four bolts are tight. If it doesn't tighten, then it is probably broke.

premix wont help oiling bottom end if your not running aux injectors.premix through only the stock injectors will only lube topend.crank up oil injection pump if so.maybe pistons should have holes in the skirts on intake side for better lubrication on pin and needle bearing?
S
Why pre mix.
N
Even then it would only oil the bottom end when the extra injectors are adding fuel. So that would mean no oil when not on boost.
We are moving along. We replaced the stock motor mounting bolts with 7/16" bolts. We should be about 15% stronger than stock. Here's a picture of our air to water plumbing. We used FTX's seperate cooler. This year we will be cooling the box with ice water rather than 100 degree engine return coolant.
