Seeing all of these people finally come out and tell the truth, I feel OK pointing out one thing that I have experienced with Paul. I’m not sure if this fits into the category of integrity or ethics, but two years ago, I was at his shop in NJ and he showed me the carbon B chamber. He told me...

If you rely on someone who copies, then it's like getting a second generation photocopy (never as good as the original). Additionally, if a builder has done his homework, he understands the repercussions of small variances on his portwork. If someone is copying and makes a slight err on the...

Cool. I'll try to make it Sat afternoon.

Anyone got directions?

I shipped a 701 yesterday and just used a box, but I cut 1/4" luan plywood to teh sizes of the sides of the box to distribute the load an prevent any edges from coming through.

I've never used bearing grease for electrical connections. I'm guessing that bearing grease contains graphite or other conductive compounds and might not be suitable for large arcing-potential applications (then again, it might work fine). What I do know is that the CRC dielectric grease...

It could have been carbon steel bolts on his posts that were rusting and the rust ran onto the stainless because they have been stainless for the past couple of years as far as I know. Also, if there is any arcing (which is possible) spark is the most potent oxidizer and can rust any iron...

crammit442 got to me too, but currently I still have my OEM box. Tl is on order though. Regarding the screws, they are a custom pitch. Since you are going into plastic, however, you could find something close that would suffice. Because I am anal, at one time I went to the Yamaha dealer...

Grind down the head of the wrench. No matter what wrench you use and how much you grind, you will only be able to do micro-turns at a time.

The thick gray cable houses the water injection controls. I assume you aren't using them. What I did was to shove the gray cable under the CDI (there's abotu 3/16" air gap between the CDI and ebox when the CDI si screwed down).

Ah, the one with the inlet lines built into it. I think they have raised rounded heads. Use vise grips on them at first. Too much banging can break the casting. Use that only as a last resort. when you get that out, there will be a little filter in there. Check that for your main source of...

Be careful before you take the advice given in these posts. First, you have to be a little more clear. I think Matt is referring to using impact on the metering block (brass block underneath diaphragm cover). I think you may be refering to the 4 screws on the diaphragm cover though (because...

I am a convert that believes that race gas makes more power than pump gas (and even to the seat-of-the-pants noticeable levels), especially with today's pump gas. Have you smelled that stuff lately, geez. You have to buy it in 15, 30, or 54 gallon drums and it is a little more cost-effective...

I'd say that was a great deal. That's what I would expect to pay for a very clean SN hull with footholds.
