    Clinics

    I'll show up at the Makai at 8:30am for the freeride clinic. I've never ridden in the surf before so I don't know if it's a waste of time for me to attend. I'm on my ski in flatwater for @ 12 hours per week during the summer since I live on the lake, so I'm hoping my balance and riding skills...

    Tow loops/rope

    OK, I know we have to have a tow loop on the front and back of our skis. The hole in the rear of my ski is turfed over. Is it OK to have a loop attached to my pump back behind my nozzle? Is regular rope OK to use? Should we have a tow rope and caribeaner with us , too?

    Ski/trailer security?

    I know there is going to be security at the Makai but I'm staying at the Conference Center because I'm bringing my family. Does anyone have any tips on how to secure my ski either to my trailer or inside my truck bed? If it gets stolen I'll hurt myself and possibly others. I'm leaning towards...

    Common fuel valve problem?

    My tank is full but my ski won't run with the fuel selector in the "on" position. It runs on reserve, but still seems to act as if it's out of gas at times. I checked all my lines and they look fine. I guess I need to check for trash in the carbs but I think it has something to do with the...

    The inevitable total loss woes(now with pics)

    I got a single channel digital total loss from a fellow board member and had it shipped to Jetski solutions for John to check out and setup for me. He told me it was the worst looking stuff he had ever received. I thought that was funny because I was told it was rough looking but that it worked...

    Causes for a sheared woodruff key?

    Trying to set up a single channel digital total loss on my superjet today and my LED won't work on the system I got. So I had to guess on the pickup plate placement and use a timing light to time it(which sucks). Ski wouldn't idle so I pulled the flywheel again to check things out....sheared...

    The latest reason my ski will not start. *#$@!

    I got a new OEM Mitsuba starter off ebay and finished building my ski today. I also have a brand new Jetworks battery. When I hit the start button it will not turn over fast enough to start. If I pull the plugs it turns over at a regular speed. :261:I have 35cc domes so my compression can't be...

    SBT Starters

    I know everyone says aftermarket starters are crap. What about SBT starters? What is the best alternative to new OEM when buying a starter?

    SN for the wife maiden voyage...NOT! (help)

    I carry the sn I built for my wife to the water today for it's maiden voyage. It won't turn over. I think battery. I put a new Jetworks battery in it fresh off the battery tender. Still nothing but some humming. Then I remember that the plastic impeller housing was binding and how I hoped it...

    What's up with the time?

    What's going on with the time settings for posts and last activity on the site? It's not even close to being right.

    Best superjet cover for the $

    My ski's have to sit outside on a ramp all summer. I have a OEM cover for my roundnose that I HATE. It is too hard to put on, like it is too small. I have to buy one for my wife's sn so I thought I would fish for opinions. I'd like to get matching covers since they sit next to my dock...

    Waterproofing spray?

    Does anyone know of a way to waterproof a stock chinpad foam piece so it won't absorb water? Seems like I've seen some waterproofing sprays for fabrics that might work on the foam. Thoughts?

    Factory Pipe manifold carnage (repairable?)

    I broke my manifold today while installing it. My dumba$$ tightened the outside bolts before the middle top bolts. That caused the middle bolts to act like the pivot on a seesaw and SNAP! Can this be fixed with JB Weld? Having somebody weld it? Or do I have to buy another one?

    MSD TL Kaw/Yam interchangeability

    Will a 4272 MSD TL system off of a Kawasaki 650 work on a 701 Superjet? I thought I read somewhere that they are, but I want to be sure before I buy one. From what I can tell, the brain is the same but the flywheel and stator have different part numbers. I can't find any info on the other...

    Dual cooling for a common "limited" setup

    I've had a dead day at work, so I have sat here and read EVERY thread I could find on dual cooling. From what I can tell, everyone has their own way that they will swear by. I am about to run what I believe to be the most common setup: stock engine with a girdled head, 35cc domes, MSD Enhancer...

    Engine alignment

    OK, so last summer I researched the threads on how to align my engine after replacing a shredded coupler. The info I found all said that I needed to align the coupler with the dampener out so that it wouldn't be affected by the dampener. Then to lock the engine adjustment bolts down and leave...

    Engine will not turn off!?

    I sold a SN with a 61x/61x 701 to a coworker this winter. He has been running it on a hose(I don't know why) and says that it starts building RPM's by itself after idleing for a few minutes. Then when he hits the stop button to turn it off, it will not turn off. He says he has to turn the gas...
