My phantom has a completely rebuild electrical box (JSS ignition coil, Epic HX3 CDI) and was running fine the last three weeks. Went to start it today and NOTHIN. No click, no spark, no cranking, nothin. So, first thing I did is grabbed a spare start stop switch and plugged it in, nothin...

As a continuation of my thought process. At both ends of everyone's cooling system is two or four 0.28" ID brass 90 degree elbows (depending if you're setup for dual or single line cooling). Cooling starts at the pump 90 degree brass fitting(s) and ends at the exhaust manifold 90 degree brass...

Every time I pull a motor to do some work inside a hull, I have to wrestle cooling lines off and back on aluminum through hull fittings which are never standard size (FootRocket). So I thought adding quick disconnects would make my life vastly easier, but then I realized the ID of quick...

Exactly!!! Right now with no resistance, the nozzle flops all around. I essentially need a SINGLE cable from the lever to the trim ring. The single cable would disallow it from traveling any further in the upward direction. Or... If I had some kind of coupler to connect the cable from the...

I have GP800 that I'd like to change the handle based trim system which lets you trim the nozzle up or down to a lever style that just trims the nozzle downward. Problem is the two cable, handle system has two bearings in the handle which keep it in the selected position (up, down or...

Got back at it a bit. Hull side and hood side hooks installed. I had to grind the inside lip of the hood as it was hitting the gas tank. Used a piece of 1/4" aluminum angle to extend the reach of the front foodhold in an effort to move the electrical box to the right of the ski. If you try...

Picked up a used 61x cylinder with one sleeve in less than desirable condition. The sleeves are already .5mm over at 81.5mm. I want to use my new @yamanube porting templates and figured these would be good victims to learn on. My main concern is this big hunk out of the top of the sleeve...

Wow!!! I can't even imagine how much time this took to do. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-CrankCase-61X-Wave-Blaster-Runner-Pro-VXR-III-GP-Raider-kit-includes-/262403093462?hash=item3d187173d6:g:smwAAOSwd3dXF7Gz&vxp=mtr

Central Pneumatic - Item#60801 and I picked this used 60 gallon air compressor off Craigslist for $500.

Picked up a Harbor Freight soda blaster and cleaned up some pieces I got via parts machines. The soda blaster does a reasonable job, but it's messy and filling the vessel is PIA. Here's before and after of the stator plate. All the corrosion and junk came off, but the aluminum still has...

Thinking about putting together a Blaster 1200 conversion, but want to do it on the cheap. Picked up a 98 XL1200 (65u motor) with a bad crank. If I go SBT route it's $375 plus (expensive) shipping both ways for their rebuilt crank. I also found someone is parting out of a running GP1200 and...

UPDATE: success!!! Took two 4" planks of black walnut, glued them together and made use of a lathe. Got it really close to the 87mm diameter of the cast aluminum cylinder and figured I'd beat the iron sleeves out. Tried one hit with the sledge and my drift pressed right down in the sleeve...

Picked up an inexpensive set of 61x cylinders with less then great sleeves. Baked them in the oven at 450 for 20 minutes and expected them to drop right out with a slight tap, like it did on a minty set I did about 3 years ago. These crusty old girls took some pounding with a sturdy block of...

I assume he could do a GP800 flywheel as well... I'll try to find him over at PWCToday.

Pulled the motor this evening and this thing is immaculate (love freshwater skis). Not only is the motor in great shape, I found what's left of five dollars and ninety-one cents in the fire extinguisher tube :) Gonna check with the bank tomorrow and see if they'll give me a fresh new fiver...

I haven't pulled the motor yet. I'll probably pull it this weekend. I'll send you pics then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The cylinder is for sale, but it's just a 701 62t. I thought you were looking for a 760 62t. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point, but I picked it up as a parts machine so I could have a extra motor lying around. It was a Craigslist find. $500 for the ski plus trailer with title. Checked compression first and it was 145/145 :) Tore out the pump last night and was surprised it had a Skat Trak super slimline...

Thanks for the info. Should be a pretty easy swap then :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
