Not all SBN's are the same. What you have is OEM Carbs, which are totally different than off the shelf performance carbs.

Since the beginning, when you and Jet started this....

Honestly how many Yamaha's are still running around with OEM electrics from the 90's or before? There are a ton out there, and people quite literally ride these things hard, and put them away WET. The OEM stuff is really good.

I do remember the MSD for Kawi had a metal backing plate for sure yes. Not sure about Yamaha, maybe?

Thanks for watching!! I know my numbers are different than what MSD used to post in their ads as far as timing goes....... I remember OSD well, but don't remember what his test results were.... I have tested many MSD enhancers here lately, one new out of the box, and a bunch for Tom @ Hot...

Reach out to the Rad Dudes, they can make you a water box.

I've got 4 or 5 here in southern WI. Various conditions.... Give me a call at the shop, or email if interested I can get you some more info and pics.

If Art modded your carbs, they are now better than stock. Regular off the shelf universal 44's are really good. OEM carb are just that. They are designed to meet OEM Specs, and EPA standards. The low speed circuit is different than performance carbs.

62t is by far my favorite. We learned this many years back from switching couch engines into to Sqaures. They run really good! Easy to do a quick port match, but even left alone they can really run well. Personally I am not a fan of the stock 44's. I would go stock 38's, or if you do want 44's...

We typically take them out. I find they rub on the hull inside, and actually cause damage. We do know of many that ride Surf though, that do leave them in.

Yamaha calls it a stopper. Part number for a SJ one is 6BA-44532-00-00 There are different ones for different hulls. I have used SJ ones if you want one; https://watcon.com/products/used-lower-engine-block-snubber

I have one. It is a modified (By Skat) OE Pump. It is where they would but a mag center pump into a stock housing. The OE Housing is cracked. I am pretty sure Glen @ Impro's could fix it by putting the insert into another OE Housing. I'd sell it for $100 + ship as is and would include a clean...
