    Uneven Tire Wear

    Search on etrailer for nylon bushings, looks like they have all the sizes. I assumed they were nasty vulcanized rubber bushings

    Uneven Tire Wear

    I've purchased trailer leaf springs from tractor supply to replace broken ones, assuming yours is fairly standard it's a $50 fix instead of $250. or if you want spend more time than money, a chunk of delrin rod can be turned and drilled for a replacement bushing...

    OEM style airboxes for 44/46 and aftermarket carbs

    Starting to sound like an intro to an infomercial for a new kitchen gadget or miracle cleaner. Yes, what I'm seeing is there are so many different hulls, engines, carbs, etc that right now different height pod filters are the only "long term" solution for hull and hood clearance. Although it...

    OEM style airboxes for 44/46 and aftermarket carbs

    Making good progress on the flowbench and have been working on an added feature that I can incorporate. A dual vacuum attachment has been designed and printed. Quickly blew a breaker. Will probably purchase a ridgid 6.5hp with detatchable blower top that I can mount onto a custom box for a...

    Where to get Thicker Mikuni Check Valves

    Don't have access to the kidney valves any more. I didn't plug the drilled side hole, didn't seem to matter which hole the fuel would flow in, as long as it wasn't the original.

    Where to get Thicker Mikuni Check Valves

    The hole in the side will be the same diameter as the original. I made an aluminum plug for mine. Eyeball the angle needed to drill through to the original pocket.

    Weight

    10% of total weight is the general rule. guessing three skis and trailer weigh about 1500 lbs, so you'll want 150 lbs of tongue weight. If you add a fourth to the front it will add about half the ski's weight at the tongue considering it's about halfway between the wheels and tongue. It's not...

    OEM style airboxes for 44/46 and aftermarket carbs

    The design was finalized and sent a couple sets out. I'm really liking the new design and should eliminate almost all of the shortfalls of the previous single pinch bolt style. The flowbench is mostly done and has been tested with single and twin vacuums. I've got a digital manometer coming...

    Super Jet Boring 65v reduction nozzle

    A sine plate or similar on the mill would work fine. Even sanding a block of wood to 5 degrees should be good enough and properly clamped.

    OEM style airboxes for 44/46 and aftermarket carbs

    I think in a retail setting with money invested in a more refined product, pricing them in the $150 range would probably be reasonable. I know most still look at printed parts much differently than injection molded plastic, and for good reason. These would be cool to have injection molded like...

    OEM style airboxes for 44/46 and aftermarket carbs

    New year, new design. The single pinch bolt is gone and now using a typical hose clamp. Twelve slots allowing for even clamping. Correct 3/8" wide clamps will arrive tomorrow. Now there's more flexibility in carburetor diameter, being able to clamp from 7.790" to 7.750". That was the...

    Custom/Hybrid What is this ski worth?

    Assuming it has a stock 144 pump judging by the oem steering nozzle and normal wear on the underside, I'd say insurance value around $10,000 and a selling value of $8000

    Tigercraft sv1 water in tray?

    That's good news. Do you know the weight of your hull, or total weight? I thought mine was waterlogged because the bare hull weighs 135lbs, about 335 total. After scoping through the plug holes I determined it was just a very heavy surf layup.

    Tigercraft sv1 water in tray?

    I'm not sure how yours is inside, but my 2015 sv1 has pink foamboard inside the tray area. It has tiny versiplugs not quite as low as I want them, but if propped up a bit it will drain most of the water inside. If/when you drill holes for versiplugs or similar, you'll be able to tell if its...

    My cheapazz Carb box

    I made this small carry case a few years back and still works well for holding all the bits. the printed jet holders could use some tweaking but it does the job.

    Anyone change Nanco beach cart tires?

    Any 20x10 inner tubes will work with the n800's, but you'll have to double check the nipple inflator position of the rim to make sure it matches up https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BRK4CM8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Parts interchange help

    The driveshaft lengths are different, 33-3/4" vs 28-3/4". They can be swapped in the stator housings without issue. The motor mounts are different. Raiders use the typical "couch" mounts and have an angle to them. Waveblaster mounts don't have that angle and are special to waveblaster...

    The jm 718cc or 735cc

    If you're not planning on running larger carbs i'd stick with the 718/735. The 781 has a lot of case work done to help with flow. epoxied, finger ported, etc. If you've got a big set of 46/48mm carbs to put on it the 781 would see bigger benefits.
