Tried doing a post couple nights ago that met with issues, so I will try again.
When I was with Four Winns I was ask By OMC to convert an Eagle power head into a horizontal crank engine and redo a Turbojet unit. All went well, had excellent top end performance but loaded up at idle. At the time OMC had not yet released the V-4 engine with the Ficht injection. I wanted to fuel inject the engine because of the long cold intake runners causing fuel loading up at idle, so I bought out parts from a company that was building injection for snowmobiles. Like other many projects, the injection project was but on the back burner and not used.
Last summer with the problems that I was experiencing, I went looking to see what I could find of the parts purchased back in the mid 1990's. As luck would have it, I found two sets of 42mm throttle body assemblies.
With that find, I proceeded to test fit the units on the engine to confirm the distance required for the center to center would work. Looking good I proceeded to make a positive side mounting strap locating with reamed counter bored holes with shoulder bolts to insure alignment for a functioning one piece throttle shaft. Then proceeded to make the shaft and assemble the 6 throttle body assembly.
I did have to purchase the require rubber flange adapters, which matched up to the bolt pattern on the reed cover.
