You can get some extra adjustability by going with an adjustable nozzle with inserts. Sean

Welp, I went out on sunday to try and give this puppy a go and was greeted with this. I am looking at these tanks as an option but am open to other suggestions. It looks like I could use 12"L x 12"W x~15+"H but that is rough numbers based on the tank not actual clearance to the hood the 12x12...

Bump, planning to take the ski out this weekend. Anything in particular to look for during break in? Sean

I didn't know they had blowouts, my js550 was pretty mangled when I got it but I don't remember seeing one. Sean

I really considered fabbing a second fire extinguisher holder on the other side in the back of my js for that reason but didn't want to spend the time to do it. Sean

I have been really happy with the stuff I have from Everlast. I have an i-Mig 140 and a Power Pro 164. The PP164 is ~10 years old at this point and has done everything I have asked of it. The i-Mig is 7ish and other than having some weird torch liner I have not found a replacement for, its been...

On stuff that is easy to service or intended to be "permanent" I typically go with the pinch/oetikers as well. If it needs to come off and is a pain in the ass to get to it gets a worm. Sean

HPS makes nice hose, I also use Venair. Make sure you use smooth clamps though, if you use the open style worm clamps it will chew up the ends when you tighten it. Sean

I agree, with that though, I wouldn't pay a premium price knowing it needed a rebuild. Sean

Can you switch the o-ring from a piston-style where the o-ring groove is on the internal part to a cylinder mounted groove and use a thicker cross section ring to ensure you still get adequate squish while holding the ring in place? Cutting the groove in the head would be more expensive vs...

Clearly it is a government coverup to keep us spending our time sanding bond rails rather than uncovering that bigfoot is conspiring with the illuminati to take over the UFO's. Sean

I really like the oscillating multitools for oddball stuff but they aren't the easiest to use in grooves. You can get really narrow sander attachments for the oldschool "mouse"style sanders. Band files are excellent, and 90 degree die grinders are really helpful with burrs or rolock discs...

I am really considering it even though I have ZERO ride time on my JS. Not sure that is the best place to start test/tuning... Ran fine on the hose though. Sean

The smaller fastners are also way more prone to breaking if they corrode into the inserts than say a m8 or m10. M6 will snap the head off no problem. It is not a comment on loctite, more the fastners. Again, just what I have run into before. Sean

I used blue locktite on everything for years in salt but on M8 and smaller it is still pretty risky. I am trying the teflon pipe sealant recommended by y'all on my JS and hoping for the best. The sealant is WAY messier, almost on par with nickle anti-sieze. Sean

100% There is a major quality difference in PRC (mainland) and Taiwan tools, its obvious if you pickup older harbor freight vs early model gearwrench/kobalt stuff but it holds true on almost everything else including the pricetag. Sean

The other half of that is how often you do inspections/visits. My former boss dealt with large forgings and castings out of mainland China and they were great when you for the first one/ten, great when you checked up on the facility and operation every few months or so, but if you let them keep...

I picked up some of the astral shoes @brapperdoodle recommended and they are SUPER sticky it is impressive, they are also really comfy. I have not gotten to take them out yet but will report back when I do. Sean

I have 2 major couch projects I am working on 2004 Kawi STX-15f that I am swapping a RXT-X motor/pump into 2007 Kawi Ultra LX that is getting an old Riva Racing Vortech V5 and a built motor, custom ecu, and setup for flex fuel. ~400-450hp My main goal for the spring-fall is to actually get...
