I think I have everything now, as long as I don't find anything else I need. My two recent issues were that my drive shaft was too long, so I had to send my pump back to Torrent, and I was waiting for engine mounts from Jetmaniac. Customs held them for almost three weeks. I would have put...

I'm planning on returning those parts slowly so I'll have two skis. I've left all handlepole and pump parts on the ski. When I can afford an ET 1107 I'll put the 701 back in the RN hull. I'll just need a midshaft, engine mounts and a few other little things to get it back to where it started...

Just a wakeup for this thread. How was everyone's riding season? Mine, not so good. I got out three times. I don't have a ski right now because I keep finding broken things from my donor SJ while I'm doing my BAM build. Every time it takes 4-6 weeks to get parts. I expected to have it done by...

The leak won't be on the pipe side of the engine. It will be carbs, intake, case or crank seals. How are you checking for a leak?

That makes sense. Thanks. I’ll start a couple inches longer than that and slowly cut it down.

I have a ported 735 for now. Hopefully an 1107 next year. I’d like to get into flips but realistically, this year will likely be more about getting used to the hull and next year I’ll cut it down a bit more for flips

Thanks. Mine are still the full +4. I’ll start by taking off the 4” to make them stock length

I'm slowly getting into my build. I'm documenting everything but haven't had time to start a build thread. Just a question for you since you have the same hull and pole. What length are your tubes? I have to cut mine but haven't figured out how long yet.

Yeah I’m not even in the country and I don’t trust them. I’m just pointing out why Sweden’s response can’t be compared to the American response, and why it wouldn’t work the same there.

Sweden is different because their population follow the government's orders to distance etc. They have from the start. They didn't need to shut things down. If everyone in the US followed orders, things would be fine, but that will never happen because of the lack of trust in the government,.

Duds, I remember your avatar. I was into the sport and a couple of the forums years ago. I just got back into it too. There are still lots of the old GTA Jetpilots on here. It's not nearly as active as it used to be though.

Jetmaniac is in the same boat. He's slow at responding because he's swamped. I guess a lot of people have time to work on their skis now

I mentioned that to TJ. I think they’re looking into it

If you're really concerned, try making the extra muffler. Just a 6" one makes a noticeable difference, but bigger should be better. I've tried something like a resonator that didn't have packing, but didn't notice a difference. I think what I used for packing was that mesh lath that you put...

I remember a story one of my instructors told us when I was taking a powersports repair course... Back in the 60's when PWC's were newly invented, an important figure (I think it was a mayor of a town) rode in to address a large group of people. The ski had been building fuel vapours under the...

I made a small muffler for a past ski using PVC pipe and stainless mesh to pack it. It worked fairly well. Put it in the middle of the rubber hose.

I’m not a big fan of bob hulls either. I rode a first or second gen a few years back. It felt too purpose built. Not as fun to rip around on but easy to backflip. There’s a reason they named it Backflip on a Budget. Quebec has been good for finding skis lately but they seem to be slightly more...

I just went through this with a hull. I ordered it before Covid and was planning on driving to MI to pick it up. That is impossible right now so I had to ship it. The shipping was $300 usd with FedEx Freight, but the additional fees are much worse. $200 for a broker. $500 taxes on import. You...

Something like this but up to date and clear numbers is what we need.

I'm all for data and graphs, but it seems that what constitutes as a covid death is different everywhere. Some just assume deaths are covid related, some assume they aren't without testing. Some places test people and even if they clearly died of a bullet wound, if they were covid positive it...
