    flush pro?

    Does anyone know the cheapest way to make a flush pro? or some other cheap way to flush my engine? It is the pro boss gt-40 on a 99 pro air. And any pictures of install would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    A simple T in the pickup line with a hose fitting works fine. I have used them for 30+ years without any issues. IMO, the simpler the better. Probably costs about $20 in fittings at the hardware store, I use plastic.

      What I've always done is connect a 3' section of clear flexible PVC hose to the hull side of the transmission cooler and drop the other end of the hose in 5 gallon bucket fed by a garden hose. Put a ball valve on the garden hose, fill the bucket about 3/4 full, then crank it up. Cost is less than $10 and it only takes a few minutes to hook up. For a more permanent setup, the t-fitting Mikeski mentioned would probably work like a charm.

        Same here. My setup was posted in your response on CCFan, but here it is again. ~$15 in parts from Home Depot:
        -1" Tee
        -NPT to GHT adapter
        -garden hose valve
        -2 hose clamps

              With the flush kit installed, do you hook that up to a bucket of the pink stuff? And is the p/u side the hose that goes to the impeller or scoop?
