Anyone ever had a TDR waterbox go bad on them? A broken baffle or some other failure. I've had this waterbox for 4 years and it was used when I got it. So, there's no telling it's age, but it has always worked fine in 3 different skis. The waterbox doesn't rattle when it's pulled and I always...

What is the silver circle in the middle and is it o.k. to be creased like that?

Are needle seats sized in mm or what is the reference sizing for the numeric designation of each seat. I'm assuming all needles are the same and it's just the seat that changes.

I know the following springs, colors and specs: 65g = shiny silver (2) 25 & 26 cm marks 80g = black (1) 27cm mark 95g = dull silver (1 or 2??) 28 & 29cm marks 115g = gold (2) 30 & 31cm marks. Take a look at the pics. Phone pics so it may not come out. Have you guys ever seen two...

I've talked to Art Gomez before about this and he has told me that a carb can be very sensitive to any trash in the internals. I thought I'd try and get some feedback from those that have had experience with carbs being finicky. I just tore my carb down to inspect it. My internal filter on...

Do you guys pack grease between your two rear crank seals? I know to grease the inner lips where the crank shaft goes through the seals. More than that I was unaware.

WTH!!! There's like a thousand nice engines falling outta the sky for sale these days. Pennies from heaven. Whoever made the post about big money guys buying nice packages and then reselling them to the masses was right onthe money. So many of us wouldn't flip the coin to buy these sweet...

I'm sending out thanks to my riding buds for checking my ski when I'm outta town. Otherwise it woulda happened on me when I got back myself. How's the knee John? I put it up last weekend and it started, ran, and rode just fine. Prior to running it that day I increased the low jet size on...

duplicate, please delete.

How difficult is it to mate individual carbs into a set of duals? What is the required hardware to make it happen? I'm looking at aftermarket sbn 46's for this project.

What are signs/symptoms of a faulty rectifier? I've gone through my electrics from top to bottom with a volt meter and everything checks out minus the numbers for the rectifier. They're off a bit from the manual specs but it worked fine when I parked it this January after Daytona. I put in a...

What have u guys been doing on the initial break-in with these? I've always run an oem wear ring. The liner on mine fits so snug that the impeller doesn't spin without considerable force. I know a tight gap between he impeller and ring is good but this is too tight. I thought I've read of...

How long does it take for that stuff to cure? Can u pressure check ur cases immediately after a rebuild?

Clockwise or CCW threads?

How rough sounding are ur starter motors on the bench? I'm going through my old OEM starter and it sounds pretty rough on the bench. It turns over with quite a bit or torque and worked fine when I pulled it last year, but I was surprised how rough it sounds when it's not stuffed under a motor...

I've asked some guys that are "in the know", but I wanted to get some more input from guys out there that have gone the different routes and get your experiences. I'm replacing my crank...and rebuilding my oem. Those that have swapped out cranks let me in on how the aftermarket cranks have...

I was swapping cases and removed the front piston without any problems. The rear piston was difficult. I removed the c clip and had to tap out the wrist pin with a wooden dowel. The dowel just rested against the outside edge of pin, it shouldn't have damaged the bearings. When I finally got...

I've read a few threads on those that have sealed their own cases. I'm sealing a set of brand new cases with new OEM crank seals. I've heard of some horror stories with others who haven't had an adequate seal between the cases with resulting air leak. I'm sealing with Hondabond. Take a look...

I'm having a real hard time dealing with UPS on a damage claim. You guys have any advice on how best to deal with them? I paid an extra $50 (for $5000 coverage) as "insurance" on a shipment, coming to me. I've never been told "It's not insurance, it's simply a declaration of value." When you...

I just bought a used OEM starter and was trying to clean it up a bit. The bolts that hold the starter together broke off in the housing threads. The starter works fine, I just need a replacement housing...either the whole thing or just the threaded end. I figure someone's got to have a...
