@Freakie yea the cleaner one is the front piston (the one that is running hotter). ok I'm going to order a new head gasket today and check the head for warping. im hoping it was some sort of microscopic leak that I cant notice and at this point, I will check the temps again after running it, and...

here are a few more

thought maybe it could be the head gasket.... Unfortunately I didn't find anything that looked alarming, meaning there was no sand or clogs anywhere. And from what I see, head gasket looked fine. Besides a few thin flaps of black carbon or an adhesive (?) no holes were covered or clogged, unless...

ok, yea I think the 140 is ok, but what concerns me is why the front cylinder runs 50+ degrees hotter, and why the inner sleeve of the pisser hose was melting. It IS butted up completely flat against the head pipe and then clamped down. Even so, I wouldn't think that it was so hot that it would...

hey VUMAD I am going to double check again today when I get off of work, but from a while ago, I think I remember the front plug looking leaner. what would that mean?

Hey Taintless ed, ok, heres my cooling setup. 1) the hose flush is no longer there, I capped it off and just use the backflush tool from the pisser. (have been doing this for a while with no issues) 2) if you see my pipe drain and pump thru hull fittings, theyre switched, the PO snapped one of...

hey taintless, I was actually JUST reading your replies to the other guy regarding his pump questions. ok I will. keep in mind, its how I got it from the Previous owner.

Hey guys, ive searched in multiple locations, forums, threads, FB, you name it, haven't been able to get a solid answer. It's actually a two part question: after riding for about 20 min, I pulled up shore to lift the hood to Check the hull. ( I recently replaced the head pipe to the coupler...

edit to add pic

Hey guys, I just switched from the 1986 3 bolt flange style headpipe to the one that was SUPPOSED to be on the ski, which is the coupler style. Went to install last night, and turns out, where the head pipe bolts to the manifold, it has thicker meat, and the three bolts 12MM bolts I used for...

that's cool, slept out with Yamaha superjet graphics. clever!

like around the 1:20 mark, the water looks pretty clear

Yup, here it is...is this the same lake?

Nice, isn't that st. clair lake the one that has some pretty clear water during the summers? I think I rememver watching a youtube vid with a guy that had like 20 standup riders on st clair.

looks like he's about to snort it there!

jeeZ! yep, I got the set of fox racing ones for christmas. put them on, and took them off before i ever even planed out on the ski..went back up to shore and dumped them in the grass. those ones you just got look alot better.. cheaper than what I paid too

yea i know what you meant. i called two local welders, i even offered to drive to a 3rd that is about 45 min away, they all wanted $100. just for a few quick tack welds.. so i though i could just NS3 braze the little pin hole myself. still cost me $65 for the oxy acetylene setup, but figured it...

yea what the heck? i just went back and googled it, and it says "these FLUX COATED NS3 brazing rods....." so if that was the flux, i dont know HOW the F an oxy acetylene torch wasnt able to do the job.. that pipe was glowing red for a while

hey ed, tried tacking it first with propane, no good, turned the pipe into a mess, cleaned and machined it all up, then went out and bought oxy/acetlyne and tried again, made even more of a mess, so i finally recleaned and machined again and tried bluemagic thermosteel. looks horrible, but its...

heres where its actually leaking...this seam.
