Did PWCToday never have an edit, or was it removed? I honestly don't remember there not being an edit... Then again, there's a lot I don't remember. :439:

Odd, this is probably the first message board I've frequented where the edit feature was removed, but I think it's a good idea. As others have stated, the for sale section is probably the only place it could be an issue. For those who sell: You don't really need to keep the list 100% up to...

I've never understood companies trying to match each other. How is direct competition a good market strategy? The SXR has stepped up in the race leagues while the SJ is often the freestyle ski. Why would Yamaha want to make the SJ more like an SXR? I dont see them getting the kind of sales Kawi...

I'd go for high-temp personally. I dont have a B-Pipe, but my Riva Red gets hot enough to melt the cheap corrugated plastic tubing that comes with most bilge pump set-ups. That's not super hot, I know, but it's getting there. But if you really want to squeeze the extra HP out of it, you need to...

Looks like a blast, but it definitely seems like it would be easier with a bit more speed. I assume its deep enough to let you punch through some of the swells. I could understand going slow if there were rocks under all that, but since it's man made all they really need is some :brap:

My block itself is stock, just new carbs and pipe, so Im not worried nearly as much about gas getting old as I am water in the system freezing and breaking something. I still cant help but wonder if thats why a weld on my waterbox failed (although it had been winterized). Starting the ski isnt a...

Bah, that means I have to mix up like half a tank of premix. I was hoping to avoid anything involving math! :icon16: (But really that was the answer I was expecting. Thanks.)

And, as always, she's up and running. God I love Yamaha. And I have all winter to put off fixing the primer. One more question; (<-- Maybe that should be my signature) I know some people drain the tank, others top it off and add stabil as well as running some gas+stabil into the lines. My tank...

I vote someone here get to work on a new ski mod. What we need is to combine the "smart key" proximity key fobs they have on newer cars with key-less ignition and the kill switch on the skis. Just take the lanyard out of the equation. Heck, I think it was my second time on a ski when my...

Ok, Im going to give it a shot giving it gas via the carb after lunch. One question, tho I doubt I'm going to mess it up horribly, but about how much gas should I dump in the carbs? Ive done this once before on my old mustang, but I figure that V8 uses decidedly more gas than my SJ motor...

Rock on. Thats the kind of thing Im hoping works. Thanks Steel. Ill see if that's the problem tomorrow.

Thanks, that was my first thought too but better safe than sorry. Now to just get her to start.

I remember when I was a kid I got a toy shuttle with stickers for a bunch of different shuttle names. I liked "Challenger" the best. After I put the sticker on the shuttle my mother told me it was a strange choice. Apparently my expected birth date was the day of the Challenger launch (glad I...

Wow, awesome. Maybe I should send Yamaha the pictures of my leg at the end of Daytona '06. If my plate had stuck out that much my leg would have been snapped in half. :bigeyes:

Hey all, long time no see. I haven't ridden my superjet but once or twice all season, so it's been sitting for a while. The gas may be bad, but it had some stabil in it and is only a few months old. When I last rode the ski this summer it started and ran with no problems. However, now GA...
