    Freestyle BoB Gen 2 build - Yamasaki 701

    I can confirm a PFP fits fine. Brother in law is running one in his gen 2.

    Damaged Compression Gauge. Never Underestimate a Noobs capacity to...

    Just recalibrate the gauge. YouTube it, it’s very easy to do. I bought a snap on gauge really cheap recently because it was about 20 psi off and I calibrated it. It’s dead on with my cheaper tester.

    BA Freak (155 conversion) & carbon circus

    Haha don’t make fun of me, this was done as quickly as possible. No mold was made. I used the ride plate off of my hull to start since they had the same general shape. I laid up one piece of 1708 on the outside of my plate. Once cured, I pulled it off and marked it and trimmed it. It was really...

    BA Freak (155 conversion) & carbon circus

    Good deal! I ended up grinding on mine because it had already been done some previously. I still had to shim the back of the plate as well. I need to just make a new one. We swapped my brother in laws BOB to a 155 and the same issue with shimming the plate. He ended up losing his ride plate in...

    BA Freak (155 conversion) & carbon circus

    Swapped to a 155 shoe when I bought my KDX. Had to do a lot of grinding, sanding, filling, as well as shim the shoe also. Have you checked your ride plate? Mine didn’t hit the hull like yours but it did hit the ride plate pretty bad.

    Reed or carb failure?

    For some reason I thought I read you already ruled the flywheel area out

    Reed or carb failure?

    Yeah or possibly water in the fuel? Either way it kind of sounds like a fuel issue. Clogged internal filter, plugged pilot jet? Also I agree with Harbor on the sheared flywheel key. Had it happen one time and the ski wouldn’t even start, just backfired.

    Reed or carb failure?

    You’re right but they are suggesting linkage, meaning one carb would open and the other wouldn’t.

    Power Factor Exhaust vs. RRP Carbon Ninja Exhaust

    Wouldn’t you need something steeper? I ran a stock stroke 865 (I know, different engines) in a carbon gen 2 and had an 11/17 and it had plenty of bottom end. A lay down pipe won’t help the bottom end at all plus you would most likely need to run wet if you went PFP. I swapped hulls and went to a...

    Where to Find 1/2" Vinyl Cooling Line

    May have missed it, but I still don’t see what he’s actually looking for. They show it on the chart, but not the listings.

    Where to Find 1/2" Vinyl Cooling Line

    Unless you just have to have 1/2”, you can heat 3/8” hose and fit it over a 1/2” barb.

    Freestyle Where did my power go…

    So a buddy had, what sounds like, a similar experience. Superjet would bog really bad for several seconds then unexpectedly take off. If you hopped out the water it would immediately take off. He didn’t try too hard to fix it and ended up going to a Phantom with a different engine and carb set...

    SX/SXi/SXi Pro Primer Button?

    Kawasaki also used the same one on the ZXI to turn KATS on and off.

    Long shot, but…

    This is what I thought. I was just making sure he was going to get what he wanted. The 650 chamber is a lot smaller.
