    Super Jet Loctite # 609 for crank bearing retention

    Loctite 609 is green and close to 271 red in strength. The thicker 515-518 is better suited for case halves.

    Super Jet Shonuff + Pipe Bomb=Hospital Trip

    Next time try a welding torch and plastic bags. It makes the loudest bang that I have ever heard and wont send you to the hospital, as long as you're wearing ear plugs when filling the bags.

    Super Jet What would cause this piston wash?

    You need to equalize the temps, open the top screw 1/4 turn on the rear carb. Condensation? Do you do a lengthy blowout before heading home? Get the head and pipe up to 180 on the trailer, it takes a lot more dry revviing than Ive seen anyone do.

    Super Jet What would cause this piston wash?

    The back cyl has higher combustion temps. My single carb 701 got like that after a lot of full throttle riding. The rear plug was also lighter in color indicating higher temps. Easy to fix with dual carbs.

    Super Jet unbreakable stainless steel coupler cover

    Everyone just got a lesson in metal fatigue. There needs to be rubber isolation mounts on the engine side. Or just make the part from composites.

    Other Methanol?

    Combustion byproducts and moisture cause corrosion in an engine. Adding nitromethane makes it even worse. My experience is with smaller twostrokes up to 60cc, corrosion is the main maintenance problem.

    Other Methanol?

    Doable but far from practical. Twice the fuel burn, and will melt pistons fast if tuned too hot. Will rust all steel parts just like pouring a cup of water in your engine after every ride.

    Super Jet 9/15 or 12/17

    The small hub 12-17 is good, much like a pitched down Concord. Many people in my area are having problems with big hubs overloading. A Skat 12-18 large hub needs a three cylinder to turn it.

    SX/SXi/SXi Pro Lighter flywheel on a 750?

    The only ski that benefits noticeably is 440-550s. The only way a Kawasaki becomes snappy is either with a programable ignition and/or race gas compression/timing. Shaving an ounce off the flywheel is hard to feel performance wise. I had a Vilder that was the lightest charging flywheel ever...

    Freestyle any one use synthetic 2 stroke oil.

    Quicksilver PWC oil is like Rotax oil, not TCW3 but a higher temp spec. Good stuff but bad smelling.

    Blaster msd enhancer worth it ??

    It depends on how you use the throttle. If you like to fan the throttle then a programable will make a noticeable difference. If you are slow with the throttle then there will be very little difference. The stock ignition timing goes from approx 15 degrees at idle to 21 and stays there. A...

    Custom/Hybrid my obsession back flip hull ??

    You would need to know what you wanted and how to grade quality. There are plenty of high dollar A/M hulls out there that are crap. At least a stock hull provides a consistant level of crappiness that everyone knows to work with.

    Custom/Hybrid my obsession back flip hull ??

    Im not talking about a company trying to make a fortune building hulls. Im thinking more like people building their own airplanes. There are some guys building hulls for themselves. I would like to see a few dozen more that would be willing to make make a few extras for materials plus a good...
