What this one is doing is it idles perfectly and it will run ok up top if you can get it there, I had to partially pull out the choke to get it to plane out so I know it's really lean in the midrange , this ski is just too nice to screw up with a Chitty Chines carb and I was sure engine damage...

Very possibly , not sure if it's in Crenshaw or Butler county , it's somewhere right on the border , I have to go through the edge of Crenshaw to get to Gantt from here .

If I had been prepared I would have had a floor jack, air compressor and a spare in the tracker , I am going to buy an 8 inch 4 lug and 5 lug tire and just leave them in there behind the seats , regardless of what size the trailer tires are that will at least get you back home .

The customer is bringing me an OEM carb to rebuild , like me he has a ton of stuff laying around, this is probably my oldest and best customer, I lost count but I have probably repaired over 20 skis for him over the years now , I used to do one a month for him years ago ,now I am repairing them...

I am really surprised you were even able to find it !

Agreed I reminds me of the JC Whitney days with car parts , yeah you can get an engine rebuild kit for $300.00 but what do you have a rebuilt engine full of junk parts , I kind of feel the same way about SBT stuff , back when SBT first came out we used them a lot and I installed a lot of...

even more fun pics , not every day you get to cross a old wooden bridge.

More pics of the fun along the way .

Today I am on beautiful Gantt lake near Andalusia , Alabama watertesting this 98 Seadoo GTI , It's not going well but a bad day at the lake is better than a good day working for some a- hole. It doesn't run right because someone put a $79.00 elcheapo Fakuni carb on it from Amazon , go figure ...

Yes BK , that is straight out of Kawasaki's KTEC news service bulletins , circa 1992 , when you spread it out on the bearings correctly it appears pink , if you know , you know...

Exactamundo !

So I have been hearing a lot about these Chinese copy Mikuni carbs showing up but I had never seen one in person as of yet, well that changed yesterday . The 98 GTS I am working on came in with a new carb , it doesn't run right which is why it is here with me for repair , first thing is the...

I have If I remember right those Mariner boxes are made just like the stockers and use the aluminum elbows, if so he can do as you suggest , the PJS box I have has curved aluminm tubing and ditched the stock elbows so it's no go on that one , you would never get it in there .

Second water test , second fail and then the light bulb came on , yesterday when I was messing with this carb I noticed some things that didn't add up but my mind doesn't work well at that time of day , I am a morning person . I will make a new thread detailing what I found and put a link in...

If you have a caliper take a measurement of the o-ring sizing and the diameter of the bearing groove or at least a size that is close then go to McMaster carr they should have what you need . Those only keep the bearings from spinning in the cases , in reality it will work fine without them if...

F' ing 86 models , everyone I have ever seen split like this was an 86 model .

A lot of you young whippersnappers are scratching your heads right now and have no freaking clue who that is lol ...

Cool idea

That should be a lot less noisy , maybe you can ditch the earplugs now lol .

I checked the fit on the hull this morning , it's a much better fit , I may get by with one more layer but I am using surfboard cloth this time , I don't want to overdue it and have to grind it back out . This repair will not be typical of what I usually do , I won't try to make it perfect...
