    Help with primer

    Ok I will try to explain this simply one more time , you know that bit of a hesitation you get when you switch from on to reserve, that is the time it takes for the carb to pull fuel through the reserve line , unless you are running on reserve the line does not stay primed , this is why no one...

    I wasn't giving away a new charger and a new cover , cost wise on his part it still doesn't make sense though , thing is once you beat me up on the price you will never know it was even an option . I am trying to decide on which way to go next , high dollar four stroke or el-cheapo two stroke...

    Not if it's done correctly , let the return line dip down to create a low spot , put the tee at the bottom of the low spot , there will always be fuel there.

    Yes given my prior experience with bad reeds on those yes I would check that first , use your GPS on your phone to verify your true speed on the water . I have also seen some creased fuel pump check valves on those cause running issues .

    Batteries

    I have been selling them a couple of years now and thus far I have not had to replace one under warranty , I did have to repolace a few Chrome batteries under warranty maybe three in total over like a 7 or 8 year span.

    I have a Porter cable Pneumatic stapler , it shoots #7 staples , I get the staples from the upholstery supplier in Montgomery , I use 1/4 on just the vinyl but on stuff with those plastic corners like on Seadoo seats I use 1/2" staples there for extra holding power. I got an offer of $2000 on...

    Batteries

    I usually trickle charge any batteries before I put them in service, I did notice that these Sigma Tec batteries do arrive pretty much fully charged , the Chrome batteries I used to sell always took a few hours to get completely charged , at most a Sigma Tek spends 30 minutes on the trickle...

    Some guy messaged me about 10 minutes after I put it on Marketplace wanting to know if I would trade for a 2001 Big bear ATV , the ski is listed at $2700 , now most likely it won't bring that but how does anyone think a 2001 Big Bear is worth anything close to that kind of money , $ 1000 is...

    Fuel Leak

    Pull the lines off the carb and hook a popoff tester to it, pump it up , it will show you where the leak is.

    Front seat done and it is fabulous ! The trick on these is to stitch that rear piece in where it makes that funky angle , if you look closely at the rear of the seat you can see the stitching , you cannot pull that 30 degree angle without pulling the foam way out of shape . Headed back out to...

    On to the seats , this is a set I recovered probably 10 years ago , I don't have to fix any foam just recover them , I start by flipping them over and running a razor knife around the edge cover to remove it , this leaves a band about 1/2" wide , this helps when removing the staples , you can...
