I emailed Crankworks the other day in regards to their crank services and didn't really get a straight answer. I'm already hesitant based on their response to me but I thought I'd check to see if anyone here has had any experience with them. Their billet stroker cranks are the same price...

I don't have any good videos for critique but it seems like my rotations are extremely slow and I rarely land nose first and often land completely upside down even with my short little hull. I am currently running a full length pole and a near full length turn plate. Will a shorter pole make it...

The engine ran fine yesterday. Today I swapped the low speed jets from 115's to 117.5's and now it won't run. If I prime the engine it will run for a second and then shut off. My supply line is going into the bottom fittings on the carbs and my return is coming out the top. When I'm cranking the...

The 44 SBN carbs I currently have have silver low speed adjustment screws with a blunt stepped tip and fine pitched threads. I didn't really think much of it until I tried to order some new adjustment screws with the t-handles and realized they are nothing alike. Do some carbs come with...

What would cause a bendix to start acting funny? Everything looked clean when I pulled it last week and I greased it like I have on all others prior to putting it back in. However, the other day it started acting up and would barely turn the engine over before disengaging and spinning freely...

Went riding without flame arrestors today while tuning because it's easier to get at the adjustment screws with them off. I haven't really done that before so I'm curious if this fuel/oil/water buildup on the inside of the carb is normal or not. If not, is it an adverse effect of something...

I was doing a leak down test on an engine I recently bought before getting it ready for install and discovered an interesting problem. When I submerged the engine, I noticed that pressure was leaking from the cooling lines in the head so I immediately thought the o-rings were pinched. Pulled the...

I wanted to get an idea of what kind of fuel I'd potentially need for a setup I'm working on. Currently the engine is a lightly ported 61x with 84mm bore, base gasket was removed to give a more acceptable squish of 0.065" instead over 0.090", and the domes are 38cc. I haven't hooked up a starter...

I pretty sure I just bought a cylinder advertised as a 62t 760 cylinder that is really just a 61x cylinder that's been bored out to 84mm. Wouldn't bother me too much but most people say that 84mm is the last bore on a 61x stock sleeve. So my question is, how can I be sure whether it's a big...

Not sure I'm calling it the right thing but what is that open port that goes between the intakes on dual carb manifolds there for? I've heard of people filling them but can't remember why and can't seem to find those threads again.

I'm about to get some 44mm carbs and I already have a 38mm intake manifold. My question is, can this manifold be used as opposed to getting a 760 or aftermarket manifold? I know I can't just bolt it right up but thinking of alternatives. Maybe cut an adapter plate that tapers down or...

A few weeks ago I rode and everything felt great. I took a 2 week break and when I came back the ski just felt like it had lost some mojo. It still had some kick but it wasn't as instant as usual and it really seemed like I was having to use more throttle than usual as well. During that 2 week...

I saw one the other day and thought that it might just fit in my stunt hull. If anyone has one laying around, could you post some pics and possibly even some very basic dimensions?

I've used REV's, XFT's, kiteboarding straps on a flatdeck, and now highroller holds. The kiteboarding straps worked the best and the REV's the worst. The straps would start cutting off the circulation to my feet after an hour or so but were certainly the most comfortable and kept my feet planted...

I went swimming this morning for a couple minutes before I realized that I while I was swimming and petting the dog, this was about 2 feet from my head. I tried shaking the ski first but when that failed, I fired it up and never saw that thing again.

I will try to keep the basic situation short. Highroller (Dan) is a complete shyster, liar, and does piss poor composite work at a snail’s pace. As many of you know, I defended this guy through many posts of flaming from members having no personal experience with the guy. I defended him because...

I'm looking at getting some 62t cases to replace my 61x setup. Would it be better to just get a set of used dual 38's or try to get another single 44mm carb and combine it with my current 44? If combining the two carbs is best, how is that done? Motor is lightly ported and runs about 175 psi...

Looking into buying the top half of a 62t case from someone who destroyed their bottom case to eventually replace my 61x case. I was hoping to match his top half with my bottom halve. I know the cases are matched sets but what kind of success do people have when mismatching cases? I figure...

So I had a bit of carnage yesterday that will put me out for 3 weeks or so. For those of you that use shin pads, what do you use and how do you like them? I figure soccer shin guards are worthless unless you're wearing a full wetsuit so they're out. I've seen martial arts sparring pads with...

What is this piece and where does it mount? I figure the piece on the far left is where the cable housing sits and the two bolts adjust where the cable housing stop is located but what is the rest of that stuff and where does it go?
