    cavitation vs. poor pump shoe seal?

    How do you tell the difference between cavitation and a poor pump shoe seal? I installed my (snowxr) pump shoe in a rush last season and was never 100% certain I got a cured seal with the silicone I used to install it. At times I was getting a cavitation like feel coming out of the hole. I...

    OEM wiring harness connectors

    Anyone know where you can get the OEM ignition-stator-lanyard/kill switch wiring connectors? I've cut and trashed so many I could scream now. I may give JSS a call and see if he's got some I could buy. If anybody's got a few sets I'll buy them. I'm looking to pickup 3-4 of them.

    initial digital TL brain settings

    I can't remember what settings I went with on my old brain. I killed it last year with water intrusion and went back to my OEM Ebox. The reliability was great, but I was missing that TL kick and have decided to go back to the land of recharging my battery. I basically used the same settings...

    Yamaha WR 250f

    Anybody ride one of these? How's the reliability, performance, handleing vs a YZ250/two stroke. I've got a nice deal lined up on a used one that appears well taken care of with an adult owner who's gonna buy another one.

    TBM cones with OEM pumps and hookers

    I didn't want to muddy up Matt E's thread about mag pumps. I however do qualify as a "poor man's mag pump" customer. I'm never gonna dump big wads of cash in my ski, but would be interested in any gain I can get with my stock pump. I'm interested in anyone who's running a stock pump and...

    carb comparisons

    I couldnt find the old thread with the comparisons of OEM carbs, SBN, I bodies, aftermarkets, etc...anyone have that thread saved somewhere. I was really trying to do some Mikuni comparisons and decide whether to keep my OEM 44's. They work great, but might decide to even upgrade them with...

    R&D domes for Riva Head???

    Apparrently Riva has quit making their domes for the billet/girdled head kit. News to me. Anyone know if the R&D domes for Yamaha equipment will fit a Riva head? I spoke with the guys at R&D and he said he didn't think so, but didn't sound real sure. I need 33cc domes and can't find them...

    total loss vs. enhancer

    Who has used both a total loss ignition and a msd enhancer/stock flywheel/stock ebox? I'm running stock electrics now. I miss the total loss, but not the battery charging every 2 rides. I've looked at lightened flywheels, but not sure they're worth the expense. After talking with the MSD and...

    racing vs. freestyle carbs?

    What sets "racing" carbs apart from carbs setup for freestyle? Do they both not need to provide full range performance? What requires a set of carbs to require an external fuel pump?

    Detonation

    Didn't want to rape the post about the Riva cylinder, but I've got questions about the detonation. What exactly defines detonation? What are the causes? How do you know it's occuring without pulling the engine apart and looking inside. What are the tell tale signs of it happening once the...

    JSS..."you are so money!"

    I know I'm local and shipping should be quick, but Jet Ski Solutions (John) was all over my order. I called him with an order for carb jets/needles/fuel filters and such. I talked to him late morning on Tuesday. I got home from work on Wednesday and found my parts waiting on me. Talk about...

    mikuni/full spec replacement parts

    Anyone know a good vendor that supplies mikuni pilot jets in sizes 140or145? I was recommended to go up on my pilot jet size and can't seem to find a replacement of that size anywhere on the web. Largest I've found is a 100. I've got a 137.5 in there now. I'm trying to put in an order today...

    would rather buy from one of our guys rather than from the big vendors.

    Paul Lehr/LPW...one cool dude.

    Talk about a super cool, down to earth guy. I cold-called him about a engine problem. He didn't know me from "Adam's housecat" and told me to meet him on his off day with family and friends so he could help me trouble shoot my ski in person. Not only did he lend his expertise and time on a...

    Trying to tune a new Full Spec 49. I have the high speed nearly closed (1/4 turn from closed) and have worked the low speed from 3/4 turn to 2 1/2 and cannot get the bottom end to clean up. I can get the middle and top to be nice and crisp when I set the low speed at 1 1/2 and top at 1 1/4...

    tiny tach lock up

    Anyone ever had a tiny tach just freeze up? I used one today and it registered rpm's fine and gave a total run time after the use. I took it off to ride and noticed that it was still giving my last idle rpm. I figured it would reset back to run time, but when I came back to it today it is...
