    Slippery Switch Vest - Where to buy?

    Guys, Just wondering if anyone can suggest any reliable online stores that stock and will send out a Slippery switch vest to Australia? When I do a google search, I get some results, but don't recognise any of the sites, and I don't feel like chasing someone to get my stuff! Any good...

    Alloy pump shoe

    So I was doing a gps run last night and elongated the holes in my plastic pump shoe enough that it hung down about an inch below the hull. My question is, who makes the alloy pump shoes that have the mounting holes pre-drilled and the intake grate mounting holes that have brass inserts and...

    Squish measurement and RPM's

    Just a quick question here... I'm running an ADA head on top of a 61x cylinder that is at 83mm with Sudco pistons. I've measured the squish, which comes up within spec of .040 no problems, but upon inspecting the pistons, I notice there is a small ring halfway around the outer piston top...

    Guys, I'm in the middle of setting up a new digital total loss system in my ski and I'm at the stage where I'm trying to statically time the engine. It goes like this... I found TDC of front cylinder and marked on cases, and for interests sake, checked the rear cylinder, which also...

    MSD Total Loss curve suggestions...

    Hi guys, I've just got myself a new MSD Pro Digital, and I thought I'd throw up a post to see what curves other people are running. I've used pretty much every type of CDI out there before, Advent, Vilder, Inferno, Enhancer, modded stocker so I thought I'd give the total loss a go. My...

    Randy @ Watcon and Matt_E

    Just thought I'd throw up a post to thank 2 of the coolest guys I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with...Randy and Matt. Randy hooked me up with a sweet deal on some parts, but because he only ships UPS (understandable) he gave me the option of sending it to a friend and then having it...

    Stupidest injury ever!

    Well, I'm doing a trick I've done a thousand times before. I don't tknow what it's called, but basically you spin around on the hood and stand up while the pole and ride backwards. Anyway, I've just got my new setup dialled in perfectly, so when I spin around, stand up and gas it a...

    Guys, Last night I aquired a protec drop nozzle that uses a Jet Dynamics reduction nozzle and a Protec trim ring/turn nozzle. This reduction nozzle looks nice, as it has a nice thick tapered finish inside and goes down to 81mm on the exit. I've never seen one of these before and was...

    Can you foul plugs at WOT?

    Hi guys, Running around the buoys last night at WOT. The ski was absolutely flying (just like they do when they are about to pop!) when the engine just died. I figured I had run it lean so I waited for a few minutes, started it and limped into the beach. On the way in, I was blipping the...

    Replacing front crank bearing? - Be careful...

    Myself and a few of the crew have just been through a little bit of hassle while replacing our front crank bearings. The jist of it is that mine was water damaged/seized, and therefore had to be replaced. No worries, all done. Put the engine back together and ran fine. After a few...

    Optimum Air/Fuel ratio for ski engines?

    I'm in the process of making up a set of tuning lights that tells me if my ski is running rich or lean. The conditions where I live change so much, it's sometimes hard to tell whats going on just by riding the ski. Basically, it will be like a set of tuning lights that you use in...

    Digital CDI failures

    Guys, A quick question for anyone that cares to comment. My 98 Superjet seems to have always had problems with digital CDI's. The stock one has always worked flawlessly from day one. To date, I would have been through at least 10 different digital CDI's, with all bar one failing on me...

    Riva girdled head torque specs?

    Guys, I'm after some torque specs for a Riva girdled head. I found some on pwctoday, but they don't seem to be working too well! For some reason, I keep blowing compression o-rings, so I'm thinking my torque is a little low. I have no deto, as I like to run things nice and rich. I don't...

    Pics of my home made beach tote...

    So, I got a little bored during winter and in between motor rebuilds, failures etc, so I decided to whip up a quick beach tote. Yeah, it probably looks familiar, but I can assure you it cost about $50 Oz dollars to make (minus the wheels). Anyway, here's some pics. If you like it, hit me...

    Steering and lift/drop nozzles

    I'm in the process of installing a drop nozzle onto my ski, but I'm having a problem with the steering side of things. In short, when I pull the lever to drop the nozzle, the steering pushes to one side as the nozzle drops and pushes the steering pivot bolt towards the hull. How does one...
