I figured as much, the bevel eases the engagement into the gear kind of pulling the two together , without it , it won't last long ever with hardened steel ring gears.

They only have to be half ass decent for this , it doesn't matter how pretty it is.

No bashing going on here but BTW the XR200 I had the Kehin rich running issues with , I replaced it with a 28 Mikuni flat slide, set the needle to the correct position, adjusted the air screw and the idle and I never touched that carb again. I agree the Red and Blue Kehins were great carbs , I...

What I have found that works a little better than welding a nut on it is welding a flat washer onto it then welding a nut to the flat washer , you can get an excellent bead on the washer through the hole in it and then it has extra surface area around the perimeter of the washer to weld on a nut.

I have never had any real issues with Kehin carbs , well except for on one ski , a 650SX I worked on from a customer , it was running rich, I rejetted it and it ran fine, the next year It did the same thing again, at that poit I told him to stop messing around with it and put a 44 Mikuni on it ...

Absolutely love those OP nozzles , the turf ughhhhhhh not so much, I did the same with my OP nozzle except in purple.

On the back side of the flywheel teeth are they even beveled or just straight cut teeth ?

Some very impressive parts on that Facebook page, the throttle , cases , flywheel and cylinders look awesome , I am a really big fan of the Nikasil cylinders, I am also happy to see the replacement flywheel ring gears that is something that has been badly needed for some years now.

Also in that pic are the low speed adjusters, he mentioned something was capped off , when he got the carbs back they were not capped off , now if I had rebuilt the carbs I would have pulled off those caps, pulled the adjusters out inspected and cleaned everything , putting it back without the...

Yeah it would help if he hadn't circled the whole damn area , I would have thought the oil injection nipple to be self explanatory, I guess this is Facebook now.

Limiter caps to keep customers from jacking with the carb settings , I never put those back on when I take them off , Yamahas also had them on the sitdown watercraft and some Yamaha's and Kawasaki's had the low speed adjusters hidden under brass plugs, you had to drill through the brass plugs...

I paid $300.00 for mine , brand new hull with a brand new engine , I pulled the engine and sold it for $600.00, so far I am $300.00 to the good on mine. When I get through with the 650SX, the 300sx build and the Superjet build I will put up a build thread on my Thunderjet to counter this one ...

It never hurts to dream right , and if you are going to dream then dream big !

It has more to do with gas spillage than anything else , outboards have float style carbs and years ago Decker offered intakes to fit them to Seadoos , snowmobiles unlike jet skis usually don't get inverted and if they do the gas just spills out onto the ground usually not catching the snowmo on...

Yep it's really not that hard to do , no water is coming over that bow now for sure.

E350 has no idea that you are talking about round slide carburetors , it's fun to watch though !

I did see a ride report on a Blaster with the front nose kit over at PWCT , I specifically asked about water coming over the nose , he assured me that there was none, it is the newer kit with the built in splash lip.

Jet ski season is over and that means it 's time to start on the honey - do list , first up is repainting the front porch post and the shutters green and replacing the front entryway lights , the second is repairing the roof on the back porch , it had quite a bit of rot and water damage , I...

Alabama is the same , we still do the numbers however we want though , I rarely ever see the water patrol where I ride at.

The garden has slowed down a lot because of the shorter days but I pulled these huge Cooliano peppers this morning , the tomatoes were pulled during different times this week , I also have a bunch of bell peppers growing nicely , the cucumber towers are really taking off now , I have one...
