Dang dude how long are ya'll up there ?

Glad you found it and reported back.

I had to take a short break on this , it has been raining cats and dogs here all week and we are not done just yet , the garden is loving it though. I had a bout of what I am guessing is Diverticulitis , at any rate it kept me couch bound for a few days and, getting old really sucks. As you...

They really are set up that lean , if you go the pilot jet route then do ont turn the low speed screws out , it does not need both.

There is an old saying that goes like this : If life hands you lemons then make lemonade. But lets break that down a bit shall we , Lemons were not always here , they are a cross between a Bitter Citron and a sour orange , so somewhere along the line of evolution they were crosspollinated...

Big girls need love to

It is a very good possibility that the main diaphragms are toast then , they turn stiff like cardboard after a number of years if they are not stuck to the carb bodies and have no pinholes in them you can try soaking them in brake fluid, sometimes they will come back to life after that.

Come on out on those low speed screws about 1 turn to a turn and one half and see what happens , you will probably have to turn the idle screw in some to get it to idle again . Yamaha's are notorious for sending out their skis running extremely lean , if it doesn't help it's simple enough to...

I do want to note that not one special tool has been used on this thus far , a grinder with a flap wheel and a cutting disc , if you want to call that a special tool . My point is if I can do it , you can do it , don't think that you have to have all of this stuff to do a small SMC -FRP repair...

I decided to start working on the bottom piece of the handlepole that I removed earlier , it's not as trashed as the rest but it is still trashed nonetheless. I glued the piece back on that I zipped off when taking it apart , I will have to lay up some cloth because it is now shorter than the...

Reinforcement , we don't need no stinkin reinforcement , I am thinking corrugated cardboard , I mean when you wet that stuff out with epoxy it's just like Nomex honeycomb but one hella lot cheaper , I am really liking my thinking right now , this is gonna work great , You know how I want to be...

I ground on it a bit , then I mixed up some more filler and went at it again , this time I decided to use powdered sugar as a filler , I expect this thing to come out looking really sweet , there is nothing too this SMC repair stuff , it's just like icing a cake !

Starting to look something like a handlepole again ,I didn't bother removing the zip ties , I just hit them with the flap disc easy peasy lemon squeezy , the motto here is if you believe it you can achieve it . If life hands you lemons , make some lemonade .

Then I have to have a huge truck to pull it with , I am trying to keep hull disposal costs as low as possible .

I know right , using household products is way underrated for simple repairs and stuff like this .

I picked up some more superglue and some baking soda to go with it, this combo of stuff is really strong and dries instantly. So the next step was slathering it with epoxy , no cloth , just epoxy and baking soda , it worked so well with the superglue that I decided to mix it with the epoxy...

I needed something to hold this POS, errrr I mean beautiful handlepole together while I glue it back up with bathtub caulking and some screen wire , a piece of road sign did the job nicely , the rest was pulled together with zip ties , I would have used electric fence wire but I didn't have...

My nephew just sold his small block powered S10 a few months back, he really didn't need it anyway as he is far from being any kind of mechanic.

We do have a dump site here that will take them , it's a sanitary landfill site . just haven't hauled any off lately as it costs money and time , it's a really weird setup , like Orangefinder said gas and oil tanks have to be removed but to dump there you have to go to city hall and get a...

So this one small piece kind of determines where the rest of the pieces go , glad I didn't lose this piece, there is not much there to work with there so I am just going to superglue it back in place . Second pic part reattached , this stuff will hold a mans hardhat to a crane , it should...
