You might want to consider reinforcing those stringers before you drop that engine in there, most of them are cracked , I know both of mine were .

I had a thought , I know you probably don't have vee blocks for your press , if you do checking the axle would be easy , remove it place the spindles on the vee blocks and see what you have going on, if not we are not looking at being that accurate here , make a couple of wooden vee blocks , two...

Race gas is for high compression, I would have thought that much was assumed already.

Nice work !

If it's bent you straighten it in a press to where you want it, lay a piece of angle across it and if it's round lay the tube in the vee and weld it up, if it's square lay the angle where the two ends touch on the tube and weld it up, it won't bend again. after that , I have built axles before...

This is my no till plot it's about 12 x 40 and I am opening up another 10 x 10 plot next week , the compost pile was in the 10 x 10 spot. You start by removing any weeds, then you lay down cardboard and cover it with compost . Today I finished up the compost and planted watermelons and...

I am saying either run the MS109or don't regardless of compression

My info came from Art Gomez , I am just relaying what Charles told me which is what Art told him, take that for what it is worth . I don't think I would spend the money for MS109 then dilute it down with pump gas , you are adding a lot of unknowns into the equation that don't need to be there...

Yes exactly , it's not a drastic jetting change but for sure there is one

Yes but there are a few things you should know , it has to be stored in the can it comes in , as soon as you pour it into a plastic gas jug or your fuel tank it starts loosing octane , basically mix it up and ride all the gas out of it, it does not store at all, most guys mix it up at the site...

Or be there with a square

The Kehin is a 28mm , it's an up pull carb so that means it's off of an X2

The old Westcoast water funnel, yes that would be interesting.

A few dollars spent on shipping is probably the best investment you are ever going to make on this ski !

You are probably right which is why I said teardown and inspection is mandatory on this one, unless you just want to assemble it with Velcro..

Yes usually with the Bel Ray waterproof grease

The real issue is there are 25 -30 year old crankshaft seals still on some engines out there running, crankshaft seals are just rubber and they were never designed to last that long , the heat cycles and additives in the fuels and oils dry the runner out and they they don't seal , personally I...

I looked into having some stuff made from injection molded glass reinforced nylon one time, the problem is that product is really tough on the molds so they have to be made from hardened steel and then it costs a small fortune to have the molds made , the guy I talked to wouldn't even make them...

My suggestion , send it out to Paul and let him have a look at it , without specific measurements on port heights and widths no one here can tell you about the porting on that cylinder , Paul can measure it out and tell you if it will work for you or not or if it can be ported further.

I went back and read the first post a bit closer ,what happens a lot of times is people and even some shops out there fix the symptom but not the problem that made it fail in the first place . I see it all the time in this business , if the front cylinder failed twice you can just about bet the...
