Scupper tube is in. And for all you naysayers, I have run this same thing on my SN for 3 years now, not one hiccup yet. In the event I do have one, I put an inspection end on it, that way I can cap it quick if it starts leaking.

Now that I have my ski all apart, what is the best method of bendix maintenance? I once soaked a bad one in gas for a few days and then let it sit in a bucket of tranny fluid for a couple weeks.... As I recall that was still a temporary fix to a sticky bendix. This one is currently working...

Duckman - any better guesses on how to get a hold of this Paul Lehr you speak of? anyone know his username?

Factory pipe wasn't interested in repairing, discounting a new one, taking this back a a core, etc. No, nothing, nadda! "lack of maintenance" I did get the air grinder out tonight and took a little material off the pipe to see if I could find the outer diameter of the screw and kind of...

Got it. Thanks. I emailed JSS, he said that ground wire is an extra and not to worry about it. Prop's to JSS for saving me some money. Still working to remedy the pipe. Getting lots of ideas and people to try from the forum. Thanks for the help.

can't find JSS via the search feature, anyone have any contact info they can PM me?

Thanks for the info. I pm'd parrdaddy. I figure I don't have much to lose on the b pipe, so I might as well try it. Worse case scenario I ruin a wrecked pipe. A new headpipe from FPP is 260 bucks, I emailed them, they definitely cited seized screws as "lack of maintenance" (asking is always...

what two are usually closed? On my other ski I set it up according to Factory Pipe's recommendations, and I have never fussed with it from there. Will they actually fix this under warranty? Back to my original question, they just rely on the diameter of the screw to divert the water, there...

Started cutting, whoever glassed it together didn't put much glass in, of course the foam was wet. Got the motor apart tonight too. Look these photos, are the porting/polishing/grinding marks I tried to photograph stock?

The screws on myb pipe are all broken off, is there any way of salvaging it? Unfortunately, it looks like someone has tried to repair before, so to find the center of the screw and re-tap might be difficult too, one hole is worse than the other two. What exactly do these screws do inside the...

that was my thought... a way to keep it together when they bond hull and deck...

anyone have any photos of how they nestled a scupper tube inside a RN hull? When I did this on my square there weren't the mounts (if you want to call them that) and bolts on either side of the bulkhead... I did 2" on my SN, would like to do the same on this but space is limited... Help.

too much! You still ride in/around Grand Rapids, a couple of my friends and I are always looking for more people to cause trouble with.

been running a good sump pump valve (cost me $29) from the local plumbing shop in my square for 2 seasons now, not one problem. I did glue a threaded inspection cap to the inside of it, so anytime I want to cap it I can. Chadman - if you know of his screen name on the X that would be cool, I...

anyone know where the orginal build thread for this ski is? I just got it and plan to cut the floor out and put a scupper in. From there its new paint and mostly cosmetic stuff. I will update as I go. Would really like to find the original thread... Someone please help me find it.

js/sj - that is the right guy, but he didn't do the build. It was the guy before him. Where in GR are you? Superjet444 - you don't remember anything more? I went looking thru the build thread, but its like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

And to clarify, I am asking about the RN. If you recognize the square feel free to chime in too. I have had it for almost 4 years, but it had that paint on it 2 owners before me...

I just bought this on CL. The guy I bought it from said at one time there was a build thread on it? It came from IL I believe. Please point me in the right direction if you know any such thread exists. Thanks.

didn't remove rev limiter, no. I think I am going to have to go the next step and take the motor out of the ski and start really looking. Didn't want to get that involved...

I am doing a leak down test on my kawai 550 ('84 piston port) How many lbs should I put in and how long should it hold it? I have gone up to 12 psi thus far, and it loses the first 2 lbs in about 2 minutes, it hits zero after about 20 minutes. Should I be concerned? I put the ski together...
