The hoard has gotten out of control when you forget to label stuff :-/ I know it's one of the following: Superjet Blaster XL700 Raider 701 Any insight from those more knowledgeable on drive shafts would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Current setup: HPE 819, Boyesen intake with 46mm SBNs and 1 1/2" Hot Products cone style flame arrestors (they fit inside the Phantom hood). In order to get the motor to run better, I've had to increase pop-off to 38psi (1.8 N&S, 95 gram spring). Oh... and 105 low and 120 high jets. Ski rips...

These just showed up in the mail. No more hiding from the water cops ;) Is there anyone on here who does both HIN plates and registration numbers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes... I had taken everything apart including hooking up the garden hose to the head pipe. Water did come out, but on continued further inspection there was a rock stuck in the bottom 90 degree fitting. Lesson learned. Step one remove all brass fittings and visually inspect. Apparently garden...

My phantom has a completely rebuild electrical box (JSS ignition coil, Epic HX3 CDI) and was running fine the last three weeks. Went to start it today and NOTHIN. No click, no spark, no cranking, nothin. So, first thing I did is grabbed a spare start stop switch and plugged it in, nothin...

Every time I pull a motor to do some work inside a hull, I have to wrestle cooling lines off and back on aluminum through hull fittings which are never standard size (FootRocket). So I thought adding quick disconnects would make my life vastly easier, but then I realized the ID of quick...

I have GP800 that I'd like to change the handle based trim system which lets you trim the nozzle up or down to a lever style that just trims the nozzle downward. Problem is the two cable, handle system has two bearings in the handle which keep it in the selected position (up, down or...

Picked up a used 61x cylinder with one sleeve in less than desirable condition. The sleeves are already .5mm over at 81.5mm. I want to use my new @yamanube porting templates and figured these would be good victims to learn on. My main concern is this big hunk out of the top of the sleeve...

Wow!!! I can't even imagine how much time this took to do. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-CrankCase-61X-Wave-Blaster-Runner-Pro-VXR-III-GP-Raider-kit-includes-/262403093462?hash=item3d187173d6:g:smwAAOSwd3dXF7Gz&vxp=mtr

Picked up a Harbor Freight soda blaster and cleaned up some pieces I got via parts machines. The soda blaster does a reasonable job, but it's messy and filling the vessel is PIA. Here's before and after of the stator plate. All the corrosion and junk came off, but the aluminum still has...

Thinking about putting together a Blaster 1200 conversion, but want to do it on the cheap. Picked up a 98 XL1200 (65u motor) with a bad crank. If I go SBT route it's $375 plus (expensive) shipping both ways for their rebuilt crank. I also found someone is parting out of a running GP1200 and...

Picked up an inexpensive set of 61x cylinders with less then great sleeves. Baked them in the oven at 450 for 20 minutes and expected them to drop right out with a slight tap, like it did on a minty set I did about 3 years ago. These crusty old girls took some pounding with a sturdy block of...

I picked up a 94 Wave Raider with a 62t case and 701 62t cylinder. Can I simply pull the cylinder and replace it with a 701 61x cylinder? Also, I looked online at Yamaha OEM parts finder and see the head for a 94 Wave Raider and (let's say) a 96 Superjet have different part numbers for their...

I guess some times procrastination pays off. Orbitz has Grand Seas rooms (studios and one bedrooms) listed at better prices then any other site I could find. They have a 30% seasonal discount listed and you can use promo code CELEBRATE to get an additional 15% off. I booked a 1 king bed and...

A new 3 jug fuel rack is $115 at most online retailers, does it even make sense pricing out raw material to attempt to fabricate one? Additionally, I have an office job with no real access to a welder, but I do have a buddy who works at a galvanizing plant, so I got that going for me...

The wife can't go this year cause her contract disallows days off before or after a holiday (Martin Luther King Monday 18th). Means I'm stuck driving rental Suburban Wednesday after work, 14 hours to Daytona with my 14 year old boy as co-pilot. If anyone is near Pittsburgh, PA and is interested...

First: I checked all through the forum first, including searches from Google and only found one thread that was asking the same question with no response. When I was building my current 2004 SJ it came from salt and the rubber around the midshaft was toast so I just grabbed a midshaft from a...

Three seasons in my Superjet with JetManiac 781 big bore, 44mm carbs sitting on Protec intake and running 10/16 hooker prop. So is the stripped out spline due to mis alignment (I didn't have my Cold Fusion alignment tool back when I put this ski together) or is three seasons expected life...

I don't know if this constitutes the start of a build, but the damn thing is finally out of my basement and now in the back of Mazda3 hatchback ;) Any of you that have been following, know I'm in the midst of a FootRocket build now as well (long story, but I ended up with two aftermarket...

I've been swamped with work and building a new garage and just life in general, but I actually spent a little bit of time getting ready to start work on my FootRocket. Used a tap and cleaned some of the epoxy/glass out of the inserts inside the hull so bolts can now be easily hand threaded...
