    SX/SXi/SXi Pro Old guy, new ski, constant porpoising/cavitating?

    Shouldn't be doing what you describe. I'm 6'8" and currently 235# and didn't have those issues on a few 750's I've ridden. I'd be looking at pump shoe, pump seal, impeller condition, etc.

    What did you wrench on today?

    Nice, I've got to look into a no reverse for my buddies 700r4. I built it for him 11 years ago and then it just sat. I think it's probably just a stuck valve or something.

    What did you wrench on today?

    Then I started in on this GTi and Polaris SLH. There is just SOOOooo much going on with this GTi. Started with taking off the pump to replace wear ring. 2 lockwashers and one regular washer missing from the mounting studs. Then I get it off and find some sort of hard type glue???? Maybe some...

    What did you wrench on today?

    I checked out a Seadoo GSX and Ultra 130di that looked like they were pulled out of an old barn or something. Hadn't been tagged since '07!! I checked out an Ultra 150 that runs fine on the trailer but bogs in the water.......dead rear cylinder. Then I cleaned an oily mess of filth out of a...

    What did you wrench on today?

    I checked out an old Kawi SS with an oil leak. I did all the basic checks on an RXT and found it's burning coolant in the rear cylinder, bad head gasket. Checked out a VX Cruiser that I can't find anything wrong with, just came back from a perfect water test. Customer stated they had 2 exactly...

    550sx to 750 "All or Nothing" build

    Pads are the anti-fatigue "puzzle edge" mats from Harbor freight. They make great battery, tank, and waterbox pads. 2 layers Weldwood and stick 'em in. I like them way better than the oem rubber garbage.

    What did you wrench on today?

    Today I checked out a 1996 SEadoo GTX for a 30ish year old guy with wife and 3 small kids. Showed up last week in an older truck with no air conditioning and it was HOT outside. Poor guy gave $2500 for it and it didn't run long and then wouldn't re-start. Also had to jam his leg up against the...

    I believe you will be coming straight up through Mountain Home. About 7 miles before coming into town you will come across Norfork Lake. That's where we ride. Holler if you find an extra couple hours.....we'll take my 650sx and Tigershark swapped 550 out!

    What did you wrench on today?

    Today I replaced some fuel lines and wiring on a Polaris MSX140. Owner sunk it, then started cranking out water without unhooking fuel pump or coils.........small fire. Also fired up an old Seadoo GTS after fixing a corroded fuse. Then I removed and tore apart a jet pump from a Seadoo Wake...

    My ski's were stolen.

    True story........back 15 years ago probably, a friend of mine had been looking for a sport quad. He stops by one afternoon and says "DUDE, I got an awesome deal on a Banshee. It's got pipes, ITP wheels, nerf bars, blah blah. This dude was moving and about to lose his storage so he needed quick...

    What did you wrench on today?

    There is a similar thread on another forum that I'm on and it's neat just to see pics or read about what everybody worked on! Today I had the joy of removing the pump, ride plate, intake grate, shoe, and pump support plate from a Seadoo GSX rfi, so I could clean it all up and reseal everything...
