Re: 83 V-King (Bruiser) Restoration
Very nice! Looks like you got it running out pretty good. Now to get that LWP on there so you dont do any damage when you get it fixed.
Think you could just replace the cracked head or was there more damage?

Re: 83 V-King (Bruiser) Restoration
I have an Inline 6. I am not sure how hard it is to find a lower unit with low water pick ups for this model motor. i decided to MOD my own. i haven't tried it yet, but it works perfect in the bucket. Tap and Die the inlet holes in the lower unit. used high strength permatex thread locker and plugged the top three holes. and i installed a water pressure gauge. even with the top three plugged i still have plenty of pressure. its relay only for when i trim to high i still have consistent water flow. now i just need to find a power head.
