I do it all the time even though I've melted a piston and was a few miles from the launch... Before I could even get my whistle out a boater had seen my motor die and came to help. Have also ridden in cold water, I stay within a mile or so of the launch in case so I can swim to shore... If she...

He used to build a Damn good sled motor! I've got a 900 in my sled and the thing rips haaard, my turbo 4 stroke (mostly stock) can't touch it... It's a shame he only does watercraft now lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it figured, had to go with BR8's, reason it ran like a dog with them is my hood seal was leaky and Id get water in the motor... Added foam under the hood where it meets the seal and scrapped the K&n flame arrestor for a different one with no filter media and problem solved! Runs like a top...

I'd imagine that we weren't the first ones to experience this but my buddy and I ran into each other today and he found out the hard way a JS550 doesn't like getting hit by a 750SX! He was following me as I pulled off my first successful fountain (I was trying to spray him), not exactly sure...

I've got a 5/4 suit with 7mm boots... Actually fairly comfy in 50 degree water and 50 degree air, I've yet to test it any colder then that and not sure that I want to either! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It happens! My ski died the other day, all you'd hear was click when you tried to start it, pulled the starter and pulled it all apart only to find my positive battery terminal came loose... Couple hours wasted, woulda found it had we pulled out the meter in the first place!

I'll have to find a pre filter, I have the flat oval k&n right now, but the pro k is a smaller round filter without any media in it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't get a crazy amount of water, but it is getting in whenever the ski winds up on it's side or gets subbed. The seal is in good shape but it does get wet which would indicate it does allow some water in. It's not usually enough to totally kill it but makes it blubber like a school girl for...

Hey guys... So the ski is finally tuned pretty damn well, however I am having water ingestion issues. From what I'm seeing everyone likes stock flame arrestors, question is can I still fit a stock one on a mikuni SBN 44mm or am I stuck running aftermarket junk? I'm running a k&n but ordered a...

This is what my plugs looked like before the advance. I've only run a tank since I put it on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I should also note that I am at 700 feet elevation, as I know that definitely makes a difference. When I started with the ski I was at 2400, which is where I was shearing flywheel keys... I've yet to try a br8 at this elevation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I have this ski I've been sitting on for 4 years and finally putting in the effort on getting it to run perfect. It was rebuilt 3 years ago with SBT pistons 1mm over bore, have now run approx 25 gallons through it, most of it this year. Head is shaved .040 (that I know of as it's stamped on...
