    300/440/550 old school round body carb?

    What's the SBN jetted to Mile9c1? I could use one for a 650 that I've been working on. I have the same issue. I have a 44mm BN, but question why I should use it as a door stop like everyone says.

    300/440/550 anyone ever defoam a 440 or 550?

    I just cut up two 440/550's. One of which had the rails cut down and foam exposed all winter and there wasn't even damp really. Maybe the first 1" where it was exposed. I don't think this foam holds water like the others.

    What footholds are decent for the 440/550 ski's? Been thinking of making my own, but I really want to get this thing moving and I'm short on time. Maybe buying a cheap set is my best option.

    300/440/550 What are the best ways to reinforce my 550 hull?

    I laid glass up both sides of my conversion as well. In hind site I wish I'd have laid a little extra at the nose area. Too late now.

    canine barrel roll

    Uncool. But I don't think he was pushed. Looks like he jumped out the back of a pickup if ya ask me. I've seen it before. They push off the sides of the truck to get some spring.

    300/440/550 550/750 conversion ?

    Cut the mount in half and weld a 1/2" section of bar stock in. That will move the mount end / cable end closer to the carb.....

    Need cheap paint

    I've got a sprayer so I'm going to spray it. Was looking at TSC the other night at some Enamel tractor paint there. Was thinking about giving it a try at $9 a quart. I want three colors and I'm looking at like $150-200 at the autostore for a single stage paint. This is a budget build...that's...

    300/440/550 How to unpickle engine?

    Well if I go to the effort of getting to it to take it off I think I'll just buy a block off plate for it. It's getting to it that's no fun on this ride.

    300/440/550 How to unpickle engine?

    Bought an old Sea Couch that had sank at a beach for an afternoon. Owner got it out and with some help from a local SeaDoo dealer they pickled it. They used kerosene.
