Last Minute Scramble!

[Bonzia Bob]

Who else is having to scramble to get everything ready for the ride. We have been working until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning trying to get it all ready. (plus a few projects I have to get done before we leave) Lets here it, I hope we're not the only ones having to scramble :biggrin:

No scramble here, but I'm a little nervous that I haven't put the Octane in water since Pismo last October. I was planning on riding yesterday but got rained (w/t-storms) out.

I know Johnny is scrambling to put together an SJ from scratch basically.

[skinnyman]

Attack of the grimlins late yesterday.Hopefully it fuel not electrical :frown:

[Matt_E]

While I am not attending the Texas ride, I am in a scramble to get my ski ready for the Longbeach, WA ride.
I finally got my new footholds installed. Foam pad is down, gotta turf tonight.
I need to port a set of cases and jugs and put it all together and tune this weekend.

[JonnyB]

Don't forget you need to break it in!

[yamahammer]

Don't forget you need to break it in!

my breakin recommendation- let idle on ac stand for 5 minutes, hop on boat, run wfo for about 400 yards or so- if it doesnt blow up your good to go! if it does blow up drink beer and rag on someone elses ski with great anger as if it was your boat- works for me!:skull2: :biggrin: :skull2:

[63chevyll]

Right Behind You,

The Last Time My Sj Ran Was In Aug??

Still Neeed To Turf And Put Pipe In Tonight, And Yeah Lowered Handpole Bracket Also

[yamahammer]

also some reflections on pipes from a sat of tuning- r&d drypipe rules over every other pipe ive ran including: stock(lame i know), riva red, pro-tec mach2, fpp sj mod pipe, and fpp b1 mod pipe by a great margin in both low end and top end isno comparison at all- water injection is awesome- and b1 mod chamber kicks sj mod chambers azz on my roundnose- lots of bottom end and very smooth power that just keeps pulling

[JonnyB]

pishh y'all don't know what a mad scramble is!! Here is how I stand as of 2 mins ago...UPS guy just dropped off my turf!!!

Holly Sheeet Jonny. What Are You Doing Online.
Now Get To Work

waiting for some Caffeine to kick in :bigeyes: :bigeyes:

[Bonzia Bob]

Damn Jonny, are we gonna have to swing by Austin on our way to help you put that thing together :biggrin: Looks like we might be doing better than we thought, now we just have to figure out how to get a pop up camper and a ski trailer down there with one pickup :bigeyes: I bet we can do it:cool2:

[The Penguin]

strap the skis on top of the pop-up

:biggrin:

seriously...build a frame out of 2x4 so that you can load the skis above the bed rail of the truck - then you still have room in the bed to stor a bunch of stuff.

Thats what we did one year for Havasu, just sucks to unload them :skull2: Were just going to put a receiver hitch on the homemade ski trailer and pull both at the same time. We'll see if the Duramax is up to it :cool2:

[63chevyll]

ok,

off to thrash for the night.

good luck to all procrastinators <spelling??????

[QuickMick]

Hey if your not going to use the carbs, head in that pic. Bring them to the ride I can slip you some $ for them hahaha.

Put your chit TOGETHER!!

Well I removed my primer to see why it was leaking and install some new o rings. I pretty much need a new one.
Does anyone have one of these I can buy off of them?? let me know.

I have a primer sitting in the garage that I ain't using I don't know if it is good or not I will have to test it out

[NelsonLt1]

Mick, I think I have one, just need to look in the dungeon for it. let me know how soon you need it.

[subseawellhead]

Turf and switch and paint #'s on the square tomorrow, picked up roundnose @ Roadway motorfreight from Indiana today, started and sold the 650sx today, wish I had 1 more week to get ready!!!

Bring it as a backup will you?

Mick, I think I have one, just need to look in the dungeon for it. let me know how soon you need it.

Luke find it and let me know. I can come over or you can bring it buy to visit ole sickly
I wonder if West Marine would have one?

[The Penguin]

you could get Paul to send one to you.

if he gets it out tomorrow, you could have it on Thursday via second day air.

[skinnyman]

I'm back up :biggrin:


I got lucky found a pulse line leak:banghead:

I could have lost the rear cylinder

Game on

[JonnyB]

ok I checked the primer and its shot doesn't work. West marine doesn't have them. if you need one ASAP I could take one off another ski. also I am so past buzzed right now I am pissed at my handlepole spring. I am about to say ******** it and do dual bolts.

Skinny good news! you dumb hoe

[The Penguin]

I've got a primer - but it goes with a triple carb kit. If it'll work for ya, you can use it for the weekend.

or just buy another one and have it shipped to me.

[skinnyman]

Ive got a JSS low profile primer wont work with my ski if you need it let me know

[RMBC Freeride]

Do you really need a primer? It's a Yamaha right?..... press green button = engine starts.

[Bonzia Bob]

Well, I wrapped up the Jeep I was working on last night :arms: I ended up with over 80 hrs in the damn thing :bigeyes: The guy is not going to like the bill :bigeyes: Now on to getting the trailers together so we can leave tomorrow night :arms: :cheer: :arms: :cheer:

[JonnyB]

[subseawellhead]

Turfed and trimmed the Square, switch on, good comp. and spark. Cant find Klotz. Amsoil or Maxima anywhere in S. Louisiana.

Shouldn't you be focusing on my footholds, turf and hull reinforcement instead of hanging out on this forum? :jester: jk, you can drive down next winter to do those. :bigeyes:

[RMBC Freeride]

Funny thing is that I reluctantly went ahead and hooked up the primer on your ski. I dont use one, but since there was one on yours, I ran the hoses. It starts every time without it. I guess its nice to have for the first start after sitting all winter. :rolleyes: Others will argue that primers are a must have... whatever.... my chit starts every time!

Footholds, turf & reinforcement... well, learn to ride first, newbie :biggrin: !!!

And then if you want to fly me to Houston, I'm game... but besides that, I'm expensive too!! ha ha!

[QuickMick]

I got the primer covered. Thanks.

[JonnyB]

hows this for a nights work.... still some small things to finish up tomorrow....now for some sleep

[The Penguin]

look'n good!

[JonnyB]

I have to remove the turf...I forgot I needed to bolt the elect box :banghead:

[Bonzia Bob]

:sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: Huh, wha, am I at work? Wheres the coffee? One last late night- Problem: Need to put two stand ups and a B-1 on a three stand up trailer. Solution: Aw hell, we needed a place to put the X-2 when we get done with it anyway :biggrin: Now to make it through today so I can drive all night to get there :arms: :arms: :arms:

[Bonzia Bob]

...

[63chevyll]

have you been drinking SPIKE all night?

looking good all,

all left for me is,

turf
straps
rope
hood seal
get fuel

and...pack,

[JonnyB]

oh crap I just woke up.... Things I have left is few little things on the superjet for it to run, need to turf the rails, clean my garage so I can pull out trailer, pack , ride and use about 3 tanks of gas to break in, oh and write a 6 page paper thats due on Monday the 19th

[Prem1x]

Looks like you've made good progress. I'd say skip turfing the rails!

[Bonzia Bob]

For some reason I keep hearing the theme song for Sanford & Sons in my head.

[The Penguin]

do you have a stabilizer bar on the pop-up? I've towed one tandem like that before and it whipped purty good even with a stabilizer.

[subseawellhead]

Started 2 standups, picked up 73# crawphish, ready to launch.
Penguin thanks for good tips
tursiops check u're PM

[63chevyll]

last day for us....

is that legal there??? not like it matters tho

[The Penguin]

yes Chevy - you can tow tandem here as long as don't exceed a certain overall lengh. I think you are fine. If one of the trailers was real long I would be concerned about the length rule.

[JonnyB]

last day for us....

is that legal there??? not like it matters tho

come on its TEXAS if it looks dangerous then we can do it

[Bonzia Bob]

Oh well, I guess since I have a class A CDL with double/triple endorsement I can pull it off..............................I hope :biggrin: And on that note we are heading your way Penguin :biggthumpup:

[JonnyB]

:aargh4: I just started up the new motor I have an exhaust leak...I guess I don't have those two PITA bolts tight enough.....why did I used loctite :banghead:

[63chevyll]

done last night.

[Peter123]

Does attaching bunks to a utility trailer count? If so, I'll be doing that tonight or tomorrow.
