    Other advice on my first ski

    If you don't have any trailering experience you'll quickly learn that the shorter the trailer is, the more difficult it is to back up, that's an advantage to a longer trailer. It can sometimes help at first to put something sticking up at the back of the trailer for a reference point when...

    I see the one in Billings is gone now, figured that wouldn't last long.

    I'm really liking the cover, great job! Are you going to be coming here to the Midwest for IMTS 2012 (International Machine Tool Show) at McCormick Place in Chicago (September 10-15 2012) to check out all the latest machines, tooling, and technology available? I love going to that, there's so...

    Other advice on my first ski

    I've personally had that one in Minneapolis bookmarked since it was listed 5 weeks ago. With that particular ski I'm curious why there's sections missing out of the sides of the tray turf like there should be footholds?

    Figuring I've driven from North Central Illinois to Denver in 13-1/2 hours (averaging 70 MPH while trailering 2 snowmobiles), 12 hours must put you on the South East quadrant of Nebraska? If I would have known that I would have been looking elsewhere for you, but I suppose you can drive there...

    Other advice on my first ski

    The thing I like about the other one I posted a link to is that it was already set-up with some goodies plus it includes a trailer, but if your looking for as cheap as possible for a Round Nose Superjet with some mod's, here's another one in your region: (...

    Super Jet Stripped fuel pump screw

    I did the same thing as vrizi on one of my racebike carbs years ago, worked great, never leaked or came loose. As far as not wanting to drill out the carb and use a larger screw, that's ultimately what your doing anyways when you drill out the hole for a heli-coil, your putting in a larger...

    Other 4 Skis stolen at Montalivet

    Does anyone know if there's someone out there that makes a small waterproof GPS based recovery system for watercraft like the Lojack systems that are available for automotive and motorcycles? If there were a portable self contained unit that could be easily removed from a mount inside the ski...

    Other yamaha wetjet kraze help needed!

    50:1 means you need a ratio of 1 part oil to 50 parts fuel, no matter what unit of measure you use. Here's a random ratio calculator I found using Google: ( http://www.csgnetwork.com/oilfuelcalc.html ) Per that site: Using US Gallons it would be 2.56 US Ounces of oil to 1 US Gallon of fuel...

    post date and times missing??

    Interesting find concerning the darkness theme Time & Date issue - not sure if it will help? On my home PC using 2002 Windows XP Home edition SP3 I can see the Time & Date using both Firefox (12.0) & IE (8.0.6001.18702). Using the PC at work with 2002 Windows XP Professional edition SP3 I...

    Other yamaha wetjet kraze help needed!

    I was thinking you should also check to see if you have an air leak somewhere between the carb and cylinder, that can cause all kinds of craziness as well. Check and make sure all mating surfaces, gaskets, and seals are in good condition (including any rubber boots in the intake tract) and that...

    Other yamaha wetjet kraze help needed!

    The battery is most likely not the problem then. I'm not sure how to check the ignition timing on this specific engine, hopefully someone else will have that info for you. Put the brand new spark plugs in (make sure they are the correct ones for that specific engine), fire up the engine and...

    Other yamaha wetjet kraze help needed!

    So is there a battery in the ski that's junk or are you starting it with a car battery and then running the ski off the charging system only (without a battery in the ski at all)? If the battery in the ski is junk, or your running solely off the charging system without a battery at all...

    When doing trouble shooting in my job we always answer the question "What has changed" first, the previous wiring problems you mentioned concern me because there had to be a reason they were messed with in the first place. These engines need 2 things to run: the correct fuel/air mixture and...

    Driveshaft vs. Bench Vise

    I was thinking the same thing as yamanube with chucking it up in a lathe if that were an option for you. That sucks about the vice breaking, I hope the weld holds (since the vice is most likely made out of cast iron). As far as the US vs. Chinese made debate - I have a very strong feeling Harbor...

    Surfriding Percentage of flatwater vs. surfriders? Any clue?

    Flat water - I've ridden stand-ups on the same river almost every weekend for the last 20 years (during the riding season). I've only been to one other body of water once, that was a lake in Wisconsin. I also wonder what the ratio is between Stand-ups & sit downs nationwide, both flat water and...

    There's a series of different publications under the name 'BOTTOM LINE', at that time I received the series called 'BOTTOM LINE: PERSONAL' (BLP) which reports on all kinds of random things from legal to health to finances to etc. They choose topics each publication in each of the different...

    The Officers who wrote you the tickets did their part in generating revenue, arresting you (dmpus) and all the resulting increased amount of paper work (and possibly having to leave the beach) would bring them more hassle than reward. If they were "just doing their job" 'by the book' they should...
