Well, engine is coming back out.  No obvious leak location at this point.

At the same time I was looking at temperature gauges.  I have two that work - one has the packing nut locked to the temp probe and the other has the initial needle position pointing to 220.  Does anyone know how to re-set the needle position?

Unbelievable.  Turns out the drain plug on the pump was loose.

Day 80:

All done ... Except for the seat.  Now on to the next project while we wait for the seat to come from the upholster.

Lets see if the next project can beat 80 days.....

I need to do the seat on my 81 Invader.  I know of the one guy on Ebay that sells seat covers but his have LTD on the sides and my 81 does not.  Who else sells Kawasaki sled seat covers??

I picked up a good one from Image a few years back.  But most of our other covers have been custom.  John's Upholstery in MN has done a few for us.  The early seats I did myself - don't look too close at those.
