    Other What did you fab up today? A thread for the home fabricators!

    It has a few wrinkles in it that will come out when the seat is on the machine, like most Yamaha seat bases this one has gotten really weak over the years and the vinyl is pulling it slightly out of whack. Considering my starting point I will call it a success .

    Really good deal on craftsman tools ((updated for 2025)) other tool brands added

    Torque wrench is here , it's quite interesting , it's smaller than the Kobalt wrench I haven't fond yet which in the tight confines of a sitdown engine compartment is a really good thing , end to end it measures 14 inches, at least now we know the website is legit.

    Watercraft Talk cdi test vs OCD cdi test

    Funny you should say that , the Nippon Denso ignition unit on my 86 Yota went out , those are around $300.00 , so guess what's on there now , a GM HEI module and a coil for a Chevy truck, it has worked flawlessly like that for years now.

    JS550 Ticking from Front Cylinder when running.

    Basically what we are telling you is that no one here can tell you exactly what is making your ticking noise , we can give it our best educated guess but that's it , if I had the machine here in person I could probably crank it up, listen to it and tell you , but sight unseen and not heard I or...

    JS550 Ticking from Front Cylinder when running.

    Usually what happens on these is they are completely worn out because the pistons are single ring pistons , compression on these is already low , then someone slaps a high compression head on a worn out top end and since it now has compression again it runs ok for a short period of time till it...

    JS550 Ticking from Front Cylinder when running.

    I have to ask what kind of compression gauge are you using , if that's a piston port motor it does not run that kind of compression, a reed valve motor does at any rate most likely the piston to cylinder wall clearance is way out of spec.

    Goki 550 Super starter motor $200.00 shipped

    This is a Goki 550 Super starter motor I pulled off my 91 reed 550 when I sold it , at this point the chances of me ever building another 550 are extremely slim and if I do build one it will have a 650 -750 motor in it . Goki was a company that made electric start kits for ATV's that did not...

    650 SX handlepole pad base build.

    I laid up a piece on the top just to hold it together , when that dried I removed the tape , now it's time to fill the crack. I mixed up a small amount of epoxy and cabosil and filled the crack , the I positioned it so gravity does all the work and then let it dry .
