    Flatwater roll questions

    I've searched but didn't find the answers so here goes: How much water depth is safe for a beginner? My bond line is reinforced; everything else on the hull is stock (2000 RN). Will this be OK for flatwater? Where can I find the best vids for a beginner to watch? Thanks.

    Piston Wash - How Long?

    Question for the tuners - How long does it take after a jetting change for the piston wash pattern to reflect the new mixture? And do you check wash paterns like a plug chop at full throttle? Does the wash represent full throttle mixture, or just an overall average? Finally, the jetting on...

    ADA 701 O-Rings

    FYI the ADA web site lists the 701 dome base o-rings (between dome & cylinder) as a #43 o-ring. I checked dimensions last night & this looks correct. Didn't check a 760. The McMaster-Carr part # for Viton #43 o-rings is 9464K431. :sneaky:

    Need Help - Persistent Off Idle Hesitation

    I'm at the end of my current tuning skills & need some help. Since Paul (Magoos) reworked the porting on my former RIVA pump gas cylinder for more low end I've been slowly fine tuning the jetting and limited B-pipe water injection screws. Now I have it so it rips hard from just off idle cleanly...

    Carb problem has me stumped?!?!

    In the past couple weeks my SJ was running kinda rich off idle, & I noticed it was dribbling when revving down to idle. So I replaced the needles & seats, went out today & it ran great the first session. 25 minutes into the second session the richness off idle was back. It got progressively...

    I need to ship a hood, minimum dimension for the inside of a box will be 36 x 21 x 9, which automatically bumps it into a mandantory 2nd day air shipment for UPS. :aargh4: I also need to ship a tank to the same location.

    Here's the result of sucking seashells/sand up & plugging the front coolant line coming off the head. :scared: The ski was running fine, then I landed off a wave & did a sustained full power tailstand to recover (a smaller wave was crashing over me) & suddenly the motor lost a cylinder. I guess...
