I would love to try one! Unfortunately I'm sure you don't live anywhere near me

I probably could have worded my first post a little better. When I say they did it with ease, I almost meant they looked to have been doing it for quite some time and it seemed to almost come natural, like riding a bike. Also, my first instinct wasn't to jump straight into flips, but if we're...

In his defense he was basing them off a tighter budget

Very understandable. Really hoping to test some before summer ends, but if not I'll see what I can do in the off season

I know this topic has reoccurred multiple times, but I haven't been able to find the exact information I'm looking for. My concern is the best, but cheapest setup for a flatwater backflip. I know it's never cheap to purchase a ski with this capability, but I'm not completely looking for...

Well I finally found the solution. In all honestly the only reason I am posing this is if anyone has a similar problem because the solution is completely embarrassing. So the carb just needed tuning. The high end was unscrewed almost an entire rotation too much, so I screwed it clockwise just...

Well I checked the compression and there is 155 in both cylinders. I honestly have no idea what it could possibly be at this point. Pull the ski out of the water after riding it just before dark and checked for any exposed sparks and I couldn't find any. Then I checked the spark on the plugs and...

I'm really hoping that isn't the case, but we will soon find out I guess. All gaskets are almost brand new though, so I'm hoping for some reason the torque was off and I didn't tighten the head enough. Key word "hoping"

My next aproach is to check the compression. The top nuts on the head might've loosened up over time on the side of that cylinder that is misfiring. I'll check that and post an updated after that. Unfortunately it is at the Lakehouse so I'll get to it next weekend. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Replaced the entire electrical box, both plugs fire out of the cylinder but it is doing the same thing. My next thought is the rev limiter. The owner before me seemed to attempt to delete it, but I'm not sure if they did it correctly. I'm convinced it is flooding the carb causing the cylinder to...

Thank you very much. I'll respond with an update as soon as I get what's needed

Thank you very much. Unfortunately you're correct on how difficult the coils are to come across... My only other concern is why the wire would work for the first 5 mins then stop working. That's when I resorted to the coil because I am aware they might fail under high temperature, which would...

Unfortunately I was unable to test this due to the length of the rear cylinder wire. It was unable to reach the front cylinder. I tested the spark on both wires and they tested fine out of the cylinder, but this was when the engine was cold. At this moment I thought something was going on with...

I own an 88 JS550 and I've diagnosed that either the coil is bad or the wire from the coil to the boot is bad. Would the coil misfire both cylinders if it was bad? Because only my front cylinder is having problems. I've switched plugs, checked spark and everything, and it is definitely in the...

Will the ski run normal for 5 mins or so then begin to lose power? If so it could be something to do with the ignition coil. Mine did the same thing, but it would run for 5 mins or so then start running on one cylinder after the coil heated up and began to fail. Have you checked the spark from...

i recently purchased an 88 Kawasaki JS550. After owning it for a month or so, only once cylinder started firing. Casually, I replaced the plug, and even switched the plugs to test is the one misfiring was bad, but both coils and plugs fired outside the cylinder when grounded. Now everytime I...
