Tomorrow (Saturday, 9/16/2023) marks 9 weeks of suspended progress due to the no spark/CDI fiasco.

Earlier this week Chris informed me that the replacement-replacement CDI went of with UPS. It has not made it to me as of noon today (Friday) and I have received no notifications from UPS as to shipping details. I will fire off an e-mail to Chris to see if he has a tracking number.

I did manage to get the cowling painted and have sent off a check to Janina in Anchorage for my Oratex covering materials. I should see those in a couple of weeks.

I did manage to get the cowling painted and I will attempt to paint the "bumps" gloss black starting tomorrow.

Wow, that cowl shines! Nicely done! Hopefully the CDI arrives soon.

I think you'll like working with the Oratex. Also, in my experience, the Oratex shipped much faster than they suggested it would. Hopefully that's still the case and you can make some forward progress.

Wow! Love that color!

Very nice.

Looking forward to seeing the Oratex going on. Great info from Peer on the Oratex shipping. Hopefully the same will apply.

Sounds like a busy weekend! Good luck on hearing some engine noise out of the exhaust of that monster!
