Teach me to weld!

I shortened my pole but didn't want to wait on adhesive to cure so I threw in some rivets and went to the lake. All was well and good until I did a sub. I went over the front and the pole came with me.

Two people beat me to saying "myself". My buddy lost the screw on top of his spark plug on his XL700. He temporary fixed it on the water by wrapping the thread in the foil from his pack of cigarettes. It worked well. My first trip to daytona was with the X2 in my avatar and I kept getting...

I see that now but only when searching a specific item. Is there a way to make that filter present at all times including when I am "browse all" without a specific search item typed in?

Go to the thread I mentioned abs read it. I think you are allowed to rack them up there.

Is there a way to block all items that need to be shipped. Too many items that are not local showing up in my market place feed.

Yes, you need to have 5 posts to send a PM to reduce bot spam. There is a thread about it stickied in the site info sub forum near the bottom of the list.

You have the motor out and shim the pump so that the shaft is in the center of the hole. Then put the midshaft bearing in. Then put in the motor and shim the motor until the 2 couplers are flat to each other. The boat is 30 years old. It probably has had the motor out and it probably wasn't...

I am pretty sure molded is a single piece of turf, where as cut is 2-pieces of turf with the top piece cut away. I believe single colors are molded and 2 colors is cut. That would make your picture a molded diamond. Whereas, a piece of black with blue marble would be black glued to blue marble...

I have only had a few motors rebuilt. I have used SBT cranks without issues. My skis tend to be rode fairly hard but stay lower hours. My Superjet motor for example only has about 60 hours in about 5 years but it has had salt water ingestion and it has been held WOT a lot of those hours on a...

https://www.harborfreight.com/8-piece-right-angle-screwdriver-92630.html I don't use the included bits though. I use a different set of bits. Flat 1/4" for the main jet and 5/32 for the pilot jet. I also use the Jetmaniac allen head screws so I use a #4 hex bit. The driver makes it easy to...

You don't have to remove the stock plastic to install a bilge switch, though it is easier. You don't have to turf the front if you remove the plastic. Primer is better than Choke. Worth the change. Having a primer pump inside the hull or priming manually sounds like a good idea, but mounting...

I am impressed by the number of people who's skis run long enough for the hardware to come loose.

You didn't mention the X2/ A complete collection would have the Gen1 and Gen2. That 300 will be easier to find than a Gen2 X2.

I recently had a bad battery on my superjet, bought a new battery, had the same problem, thought it was the starter, dissembled the entire ski assuming it had to be a bad ground or a bad starter. Was placing an order for a new battery but had my new $140 battery tested first. Brand new battery...

I wont comment on piston colors. It's not something I am experienced in. Those plugs look like something I would be happy with. Wouldn't that steam clean the plugs? I also felt he was describing that the problem resolved after resting. I would think that if water was in the cylinder, it would...

Hydrolock is caused by fluid in the cylinders preventing the motor from moving. It's bad news because the starter is strong enough to blow out the crank bearings. Water can come in through the intake or it can actually hydrolock from too much fuel, but fuel hydrolock is only going to happen...

When you leak test the carb, you are ensuring the fuel pump is not leaking. The carb should be able to hold 5-10 PSI for 10-15 minutes when you add pressure to the carb with the return and etc blocked. If it doesn't hold pressure, then your gaskets or needle is bad or you have too much corrosion...

I also had strange problems from my CDI. I had a MSD that was used. I had strange behavior on my ski too. I put the stock ignition back in and the problem was resolved. CDi can make very weird things happen. You can't just change from on to reserve and keep going nuts. The reserve line is...
