Not sure by reading the OP if Jay still has your motor, but there is a simple fix if he does.
Send Jay the rest of your stuff, let him do his magic, and get a great power head back ready to drop on, turn key, and ROCK ON.
That's IF he will do the work now that you tried to trash him...James H. W2F a V-King... Want 2 Fly a V-King

I may be missing something here, but could this been as easy is shipping the parts to Jay to complete and run in the powerhead?

If I were Jay, I wouldn't let any boxes from this individual come off the truck.

Dumb question but from his quote how was he supposed to service the injectors if you did not send them.
But i must say this does sound like a lack of communication on both parts, did the op not ask for a follow up email on way all to do??

JAY YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY'S .Boy do i ever know what your talking about after almost 400 rebuilds i find as a general rule most of these guys dont know nothing about nothing thats connected to a out board i just today put a new power head on a customers boat he had 1 hour before he fried the power head by fixing the cooling system!!!!! stats on top of gaskets not around the fin, put wiper gasket goes on top of the shaft between the stainless cup and housing ( i know that took a while to cram that in that little crack, it had been setting up for couple years he topped off 2 year old fuel with new fuel it ran one hour and melted the top two pistons off the wrist pin it had no gauges or hot horn and this is very common for these guys down here i cant tell you how many absurd fixs ive ran into on replacing power heads i wish i could make all my long blocks run i would save a ton on electrics and fuel components

I too always wanted a complete powerhead so it could be run. I stated to send me a dressed powerhead (drop on) to limit confusion. He should have asked a few more questions as to what he should be sending. To come here and bash rather than have a man to man conversation to solve the issue is just plain wrong.

We recently did a long block for a customer that stuck number 6. They also were gonna complete the build, Guess what? In 20 min run time they stuck number 6. Could have been avoided if we were given everything and ran it on our table top dyno. Thought they were gonna save money. Totally get where Jay is coming from.
