Yes, the grease is only there to keep water out. So realistically 1/2 to 3/4 full is plenty. It is more important to make sure the cone o ring seals correctly, especially if you are putting the aftermarket pump cone on, as the TBM cones are more precise and a tight fit.

I have a different way we do them on the TBM skis. I have a diagram I could send you if you have a fax. I am assuming you will do dual cooling, right? I definately would.

1st, no question is a dumb question. That's what these board are for. You want to use grease. Any grease rated for marine use will work. The guys that use oil do it because they pop the seals out of the sealed bearings, turning them into a regular roller bearing set up. There are pros and cons...

It doesnt look like the cases were touched at all. How long has the motor been sitting? I would still split the cases and at least re-seal it. You can really clean and check the crank too that way. Depending on what you are going to do with your set-up, you could reassemble it the way it was...

Absolutely. Again, this depends on how far you want to mod and your build budget. There are a lot of 96 non cv carbs on fleaybay right now that you could pick up cheap. However these motors respond very well to a set of standard 44 or 46 mikunis. I believe Scottie Mac has some good jetting specs...

Yes the empty hole is the drain for the stock pipe. If it has the stock pipe on it it will be hooked up at the bottom rear of the chamber. If it's a/m then it should be plugged inside the hull. And yes the other line from the pump is what feeds the engine and goes in at the bottom center of the...

Good price for what is pictured there. Looks like the guy followed James Crone's mod book on that one. It has a mildly ported cyl and cleaned up intake man. I also spotted an extra pulse fitting in the cases, so he may have had bigger a/m carbs on it. It's up to you wether or not to rebuild the...

I think that is a good price. Depending on wether or not people know what they have I have seen them go for anywhere from 2500, all the way down to about what you are looking at paying. Just make sure the rest of the ski looks clean, as these are common to have rusted out elec. boxes. Once you...

It isn't silicone, and silicone wont hold. The factory uses what's called plexus. You need to use a panel bonding agent (works best) which can be found at most auto body supply shops. West systems also has some great epoxies that would work.

I can explain more. If you want to pm me we can discuss lots of mods for your ski that will end up in a really nice package. I do all the builds for TBM racing, we have a great wetpipe recreational setup. You can find a writeup from PWI at the TBM site under press I believe. Essentially adding...

What mods do you have done to your ski. Spending the money on that would be well after you have reached the pinnacle of other things. The pump cones work well and give you about 40% of what a pump does for a fraction of the price. both the skat and solas pumps work very well. solas only offers a...

I know someone who has a whole setup f/s if you're still looking.

I have the chamber. Practically new. 100.00 plus frt.

see his other post. I replied to it and explain that cooling setup. And yes it works.

That was fine, even with the flow valve installed. That was a stock class racing setup. With this we usually enlarge the feed at the bottom of ex. man to 1/2"" as well. I would be willing to bet if you removed the exhaust hose, you probably have a stinger reducer insert in there too. This ski...
