    Mixed up piston rings

    I thought you said top one taper down and bottom taper up? So that's not accurate? Or you just wanted me to blow up my motor. :)

    Mixed up piston rings

    Not a bad idea. Where do I find a manual for a 2017 SJ?

    Mixed up piston rings

    Isnt that what this site is for? Lol. Don't learn nothing when someone else builds it for you. So you use yamabond on the base or just a new base gasket? Doesn't look like OEM has any bond.

    Mixed up piston rings

    Yeah read some guys using RTV on the base. Just wanted to make sure. So just coat the ring and piston in 2 stroke?

    Mixed up piston rings

    I want it done right so I will probably just hone and new rings. Anyone have a link to ddirections on ring install? Just lube up the rings and taper down on top and taper up on bottom and set on pins? Easy as that? You guys use any glue on the base gasket or head gasket?

    Mixed up piston rings

    Thanks @air blair . In your second sentence do you mean to see which ring goes where? Are they different sizes? I was just reading some threads about dudes blowing up top ends due to incorrect ring install. I want to make sure I do this right. Anyone have a link to directions or a thread on...

    Mixed up piston rings

    Hi guys. I was tearing the cylinder apart to do a head and B pipe and stupidly popped the pistons out of the cylinders. I couldn't get the pistons back in so I took the rings off and stupidly forgot to label them. So now I have 4 rings and a cylinder and no clue which ones go where. Is...

    Worth upgrading stock steering?

    Stock steering on the SJ is just horrible. I had one with upgraded steering, sold it then bought another stock one and I forgot how bad it is. I don't have an upgraded turn plate but I do have zero degree bars, ODI grips and a PJS finger throttle and that improves it about 500%. I have...

    Winterization

    Ethanol is corrosive. I'm in Michigan and store mine in a cold garage too. Not necessary to run AF. Meijer has PG AF for 3 bucks a gallon

    Winterization

    Most people don't run AF but if you do get propylene glycol. Not ethylene or any ethanol additives

    Trailer question

    Update: My welder buddy ended up coming over and doing it for free. Looks great and thanks for the advice. FWIW, you can buy the brackets online and U bolt them on. About 50 bucks.

    Trailer question

    Not a bad idea. My buddy is a welder too. Just thought maybe someone had a quick, cheap source. The frame is 3 inches by 3 inches

    lazy Starter... ?

    +1 on the battery. I just had the issue with my wife's couch (sea doo spark). I charged the battery fully and it read 13.4 volts. Ski wouldn't turn over. I was on my way to get it load tested when I said F it and got a brand new AGM battery. Fixed up first try. After I tore everything...

    Newb Carb Question

    So apparently the stock is a 70 pilot on the RN SJ. I went up to a 72.5. Now my lows are 1 turn out and the idle is all the way out still. I checked the throttle cable and it's good. Seems to be running smooth at this setup. At least on land. Haven't ridden her yet. Any harm in having...
