Bolts are flush against the manifold and nothing was hitting the back of the head. Going to try liquid gasket and see how that works

The trouble was getting a wrench on the top center bolts. I will try grinding one down and getting in there. I also picked up some stainless Allen head bolts to try as well. I think I would have enough room to get an Allen wrench in there too or cut it down if needed Yes I rejetted the carb...

I did not. That might be another issue. Those were giving me lots of trouble on getting them tight. I ended up tightening them enough so the manifold could still slide up and into position. That way I didn't have to tighten much because they were such a pain to tighten with the manifold in...

Here's how I have my lines. Top of the pipe T-ed to the pisser and stinger. Bottom of the head pipe to the head and from the pump T-ed to dual cooling on the bottom of the manifold.

I think you have solved the mystery. Where can a guy get that?

I used a razor blade to scrape it off and feel as if I did a good job. I guess I can take a second look at it. Where would you buy the OEM gasket? Should I do that or stick with the one I have?

I tried to criss cross the bolts when putting the head on. Didn't use a torque wrench or anything.

I just recently bought a bpipe and installed a new gasket (ebay link below) but when I dropped the ski in yesterday I noticed water was pulsing out in between the motor and exhaust manifold. On this gasket, does it matter which way it goes on? Could I have it on backwards? Sorry if this is a...

So I'm checking my pop off pressure with a 145 high, 120 low, 2.5 needle and seat (already in carb), and a 95 gram spring and was getting 15 psi. Am I good or do I need to switch some stuff out to get 18-24 psi?

These are the jets and specs I will be running. Main Jet : 145 Pilot Jet : 120 High speed screw : 12 turns out from closed Low speed screw : 2 2 turns out from closed Needle & Seat : Stock Spring : 95 gram

This winter I had to replace a worn driveshaft on my SJ. In the process I decided to replace/add a bunch of other parts as well. I am looking to get my ski in the water this weekend and was wondering if I am overlooking anything or in need of checking/tuning things. The ski got the...

What would be the recommended popoff for this setup?

I recently got my hands on a b pipe and need a hose to connect the chamber to the waterbox. I was wondering if there was another alternative than spending $50 on a "b pipe hose". The exhaust hose the previous owner of my ski used PVC elbows and a water hose from ACE hardware so i won't be able...

Are rebuild kits difficult to complete? Or are they easy with directions? I've never really messed with a carb before

Yeah i have a primer kit already. Ski usually doesn't even need it though. So i should buy a new main jet, pilot jet, and spring? or are those the stock specs?

It has an Ocean Pro Vortex FA.... any other mods that might change it?

Does anyone know the specs from a stock mikuni 44? Or do I just need to get a new jets no matter what? B Pipe suggested: Main Jet : 145 Pilot Jet : 120 High speed screw : 12 turns out from closed Low speed screw : 2 2 turns out from closed Needle & Seat : Stock Spring : 95 gram Does that...

Long story short, I replaced my driveshaft with a new shaft from JM and am in the process of putting it back together. I have never done this before so I dont really know where to begin. Last night I was putting the pump stator on the driveshaft and got the bearing in place but it didnt spin...

Going right would feel more comfortable to me. I was worried because i see the majority going left which isn't as natural or comfortable as going right is. Either way Ill just have to try going both ways and see what fits best. I just didn't know if one caused and mechanical issues or has the...

From what I can tell, I have seen more riders throwing their body left when doing/attempting barrel rolls. Is there any science behind this? Does it have to do with getting water in the engine or anything? Or is it just rider preference? Thanks for the help
