Can someone tell me why we don't mix in a little nitro for our skis, as most RC 2 stroke engines do? Seems we would have to spend a lot less money on strokers, big bores, porting etc. if we could use say 15% nitro in mostly stock engine.:sneaky: I know the fuel lines & some fuel system...

Gonna take my SJ, probably let them rent some couches. Anybody know any decent, reasonably priced hotels in the general area that are ski friendly? Launch areas, etc.? Thanks.

I saw on here where someone had pictures of Bill riding in the Zone Monday, but now I can't find the thread.:banghead: Anyone have a link?

My new (to me) cylinder is at 86.0mm and I want it to last as long as possible. I'm currently running Klotz R50 on the recommendation of a respected tuner, and so far so good. Anyone have a better recommendation as far as protection/minimal wear? What about equivilent protection at a better...

I had one of the bulb type primers JSS sells and after a year it started flooding my engine during the summer :bs2: (supposedly the ball got rusty & didn't seal anymore), so I removed it. Now I need a primer for cold weather starting, but want to avoid the flooding this time.:banghead: So who...

Looking for a replacement for my 3 year old slippery large. This is for ocean freeriding, and needs good flotation, but NOT riding up when swimming after the ski.:biggrin: Ski is a 2000 SJ w/stock darkish blue paint. What's currently available?

Looking for a good set of (Florida) winter gloves in XL. Who has the best pair for around $40?

What are the "optimal" openings for the low and high speed adjusters? For 38s it's supposedly around 1 turn each, but I'm clueless on OEM 44s....:dunno:

My little Bro's B'day is coming up soon and he needs a finger throttle for his 100% stock 2000 XPL. I'm no Dooer but I once rode an XPL w/a KVPI and it was too skinny and dug into your finger too much. What's a better alternative for $40 - $50?

OK, I now have a complete OEM 44 intake system for this hungry 790.:woot: Now a few things to resolve before I mount them. 1. As received the carbs mount with the pumps facing out, throttle wheel towards the tray. It looks like the fuel lines will be really squeezed in tight, and access to...

In the past I've always plumbed warm water off the head into the bars & drilled a series of holes in the grips, so water flows out to warm the underside of your hands. This has proven effective, but will take more time than I have before tomorrow's ride. Instead, I'm looking for a quickie...

I have a used cylinder where all the head bolt holes have been helicoiled, and some are rotating when I go to tighten or remove the bolts.:banghead: What's the best insert to replace these (remember the holes are tapped for helicoils already). Timecerts? Who has the best price on a kit...

Just got done assembling my new engine (790cc Wammer big bore, bought well used:biggrin: ) & decided to do a compression check before it ever started. I noticed 8 PSi difference between cylinders. Odd I thought, but figured it needed to break in. After about 4 gallons thru it the difference is...

On a RN, does the packing seal go on with the flat side towards the hull?

I've searched & googled (including Greater's site) but can't seem to find a picture of this head for a Yammie twin. Anybody have a picture or link showing how it looks? Thanks.:smile:

I've listed an item in the classifieds but forgot to list the price. As I'm adding to the ad I notice I forgot the price & put it in. So after I'm done w/the ad I check my PMs; one guy PMs me "how much", and 7 minutes later another PMs me wanting to buy it. Does the second guy get it?:dunno...

I found this at GropK: "While testing props and nozzles one morning, we were making repeated, long, smooth-water passes turning consistently 7250 rpm. About 2 hours into that testing, the test rider encountered a few ripples at peak speed that set the nose bouncing a bit…. But he still...

Last night I filled in the OEM intake manifold crossover w/JB.:cool2: It came out well but there are a few low spots I want to go back & fill in. Question is, after roughing the existing JB Weld surface w/80 grit do I clean w/Acetone? I'm concerned it might soak into the JB Weld or soften it.

What's the correct manifold ID for a 701? I did a quick search but didn't find it.....:frown:

On 3/9/06 I lost the front cylinder, and attributed it to a clogged cooling line (first pic). Well, it happened again today, and both pissers were flowing normally both before & after.:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: (all other pics). Rear cylinder is fine. In both cases part of the...
