Title: Completed Section 46, except for one little thing
There were a few things left in the engine compartment to secure before moving on. The ground wire to the starter, and the wire from the starter solenoid to the starter. The latter was a giant PITA because the screw faces the inside and there's almost no room to get your hand in there. But I actually ended up getting that torqued down. The ground wire I just had to go by experience what 36 inch pounds feels like. Then I completed a series of safety wiring of various plugs, the bottom of the oil tank etc. Tragedy struck however on 46is-10 Step 1, pulling the alignment pins out of the connector. The instructions say to twist and pull. The instructions also say it might break off, which it did on one, taking out an adjacent wire. These look like the same connectors I used on the Vertical Power VP-50 so I might have extra pins around. I can crimp one on some wire and solder and heat shrink to the existing wiring run. But I've got to try to remember how to get the pin out first. Email to Van's support.
