Get ahold of me when you're done. @smusleh and I are planning a ride session soon and I'm dying to try out my new build. I'd love to ride it out all day on lake Huron :)
+1 on the pump seal. I was recently having horrible cavitation issues and bought a new pump seal. Fixed the problem completely.

Ok thanks. And yeah the guy before me was prolly running a b pipe and swapped it out with stock pipe before selling and just left jetting as is. I'll go rich over lean all day

Also I haven't installed my pipe yet since I'm waiting on a coupler and jets. Running stock right now so maybe I'll be happy after I swap out that crappy stock exhaust.

I swear I think it's a Solas. You're right though, that pitch is odd for a hooker prop but seems about right for a Solas.

I'm not 100% sure that's the prop and pitch. The guy I bought it from claims it is but he was wrong about a few other things. How can I check brand and pitch? Is it marked on the impeller somewhere? I'd hate to have to pull out my pump again.

Quick update: after replacing the pump seal (thanks JetManiac!) the ski hooks up flawlessly! I also disconnected the thermo switch from the CDI which was causing it to stay in limp mode. Picking up a PSI pipe today too :) All I need now are some pepe's to ride with. If anyone lives in the...
Guys do I have the cooling lines setup correctly? The one on top goes to the pisser and the one on bottom goes to the head.
Also I can't remember where the white hose (I think it's the pump hose?) coming through the right side of of the hull hooks to. I could've sworn it connected somewhere...
So I swapped out the internals of the starter with the housing of the OEM one that had a stripped gear. Works great even though I just ordered a used starter today. And the bogging out problem was because the main fuel line got disconnected lol Tomorrow will be my first chance to finally take it...
No I didn't get the chance to pull the mid shaft yet. I'll do that soon though especially if the pump seal doesn't fix my problem. I'm getting a replacement inter housing anyways and gonna realign as well so I'm holding off for the time being.
However, I noticed that after I sealed the pump and...
Yup I pulled the motor today and swapped out the starter with a spare I had laying around. The battery was low so the engine wasn't turning over but at least the bendix engages the flywheel properly now. However, after charging up the battery all I hear now is the relay click when trying to...
Grrrr this totally blows. One of the starter bolts is even missing and I discovered a few more bolts missing from the crankcase. I swear this guy did such a half ass job swapping motors it's starting to piss me off.
