Replace the shafts and had to mod the intake fittings because they are designed to work 2 into 3. We set his up to have a fuel pump on each carb. The brass fittings on the Yamaha carbs screw in, so Joe ended up having to sodder some t fittings into elbows. Nothing too scientific, just a...

The ski we built for John Grinager (johnfrmcali) had those stock GP44s and it ran great. That is the one on my youtube channel. Takes some work to get them set up for a Kawi, but definitely better than the stockers. SM

Chris and the guys at 701 are absolutely awesome! Scottie

The reason Speed chose not to cover Saturday night was the Nascar Nationwide race was on the same time. You can pretty much bet that any night Nationwide race will trump the Supercross race in terms of order. Suck, I would much rather watch the Supercross live, but it is what it is. SM

They actually run really well with stock carbs set up right. You just need to get the pre 98 non cv carbs. Those carbs with flame arrestors and adaptors, running the stock jetting, works really good. No, they aren't as good as a triple set up of 46s, 48s, but for the money, they work good...

Well, that completely sucks. That is one of the reasons why I rarely buy anything from anyone used anymore. You can't friggin trust anyone. Good luck with the rest of the build. I can promise you one thing, once it is done, you will love it. SM

Was the person you bought it from a member on here or PWCtoday? That sucks. SM

I totally agree, the coverage sucks. I mean, we had one of the few times in recent years where all the top guys were in the top 5 - RV, JS, CR, RD - and what does cbs do with 4 laps remaining???? They focus on Trey Canard in 8th. Seriously???? But, at least it was on TV, I guess we should...

Then he should have been docked a lap. By moving him back 3 positions with 17 laps to go, they basically turned a blind eye to what happened. Had that been Joe Nobody on a privateer effort, they would have been docked a lap. That's why Emig made such a big deal about them handling it the way...

I think the AMA did their best to make the season points battle closer, lol. RV is the man, when he is on, he is the best, but docking him three positions between the start and restart was crap. He should have been docked 3 positions from his finishing score. What they did amounted to...

The guy Erik is using to produce his cylinder has been in the field for decades. He produces cylinders for different applications that take way more abuse and turn way more RPMs than a ski. I can understand the suggestion, everyone has one, but this cylinder should be every bit as reliable as...

That thing is purty!!!!!!!!!!! SM

I don't fill in the void. Check to make sure one side of your composite plate isnt hanging down farther than the other. The composite plates are famous for being warped. Joe would spend a ton of time getting them perfect by sanding her and adding there. SM

XJCrawler, Handling is such a funny thing. What is perfect for one person sucks for another. SuperjetJim is a perfect example. His riding style might not agree with the NYNJA sponsons. Doesn't mean he is wrong or they are, just everyone has a different idea of what is the perfect set up...

Not sure where they are telling guys to mount them, but placement on the mod hull is a little different than placement on the stocker. I should have mentioned that earlier, sorry. The mod hull is tighter at the back corner than a stocker because the hull is longer. You can go slightly farther...

See how the sponson is forward enough to see the side of the hull? You can play with placement, but if you are much farther rearward than this, you will have issues with slipping in the turns.

Where did you mount them???? If you mount them too far rearward, they will spin out in hard corners. You basically want the rear of the sponson to be even or slightly in front of the rear vertical plane of the hull. If you push them all the way rearward and they close off the rear corner of...

So, with all the help I get from friends, etc, I decided to build a second 1100 b1 as a play/surf ski! Chris from 701 Industries contacted me a while back and asked if I would be interested in being part of their test team. I was so excited, as I usually ride under sponsorship of me! The guys at...

LOL, Nope, still in hiding....
