I usually don't do onsite repairs either , you can never have enough parts to finish the job. I will post pics from yesterday escapades in the what does your view look like today thread . I winterized two skis for $125.00 each, it took me about 30 minutes and the guys mother brought me out two...

Start at 2 turns out and go in from there till it runs correctly , adjust the low speed screw and get it dialed in first , then the high speed

jetinetics flywheels are notorious for this , I also have a really nice Jetinetics paperweight - doorstop for a 550 here somewhere .

Sorry I just had to lol https://www.facebook.com/reel/931250331679080

These are the only reasonably priced torsion half axles I have seen , dayum they are expensive ! That is a really good deal for axles with hubs and bearings though...

Pride in workmanship , I am old school , if you wouldn't sign your name on it to let the whole world know that you did it then don't let it leave your shop till you can.

Here is one for you Dewalt guys ...

Damn interesting concept but I want to build a ground loading PWC trailer. some Shorelandr trailers already have the torsion axles installed on them. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=ground+loading++trailer&mid=91958719834F438076F191958719834F438076F1&FORM=VIRE

I don't think people realize the skill level needed to do tricks like the Australian backwards barefoot trick , I have done it before along with barefooting off the side of the ski , it doesn't require $30-50 thousand dollar skis , just a decent running ski and some degree of skill .

Inside of the tunnel gets gelcoated when the bottom does , gelcoat hides all !

I have used some in the past on both my Black and Decker and my Hitachi stuff with varying results , I don't think they hold up as well as OEM batteries do so you have to do the math, if they are less than half the price and last over half as long you are still good moneywise. I looked the other...

Home Depot has been mentioned numerous times here , here are a few of the deals on cordless tools. Milwaukee : Buy a Milwaukee battery starter kit and choose from a router , jigsaw or angle grinder for free. Ryobi : Buy a battery starter kit and choose from an oscillating tool, reciprocating...

Yep anything below 10.5 volts while cranking is not good , a damaged starter or weak battery can both be culprits here , I have seen some starters out there that drew tremendous amounts of amperage. If I was working on this ski the first thing I would do is put a known good battery in it ...

Yep an empty section of yard that you can mess up and a pressure washer with a 0 degree tip is your best friend also maybe a raincoat and goggles lol

Untaped it , it isn't horrid but it will need some love fo sho !

A stator is a coil of wire with a magnet spinning around it , the faster it spins the more voltage it produces , it spins much faster with the plugs out than it does with them installed.

This usually means a bad or weak stator

I went with the simpler is better approach , I just put parchment paper down and taped over the hole , then I flipped the ski over. I used a mixture of chopped up carbon fiber and epoxy resin to fill in the hole , basically Tiger hair but with carbon fiber , then laid a layer of fiberglass on...

It could be worse , this guy is giving us this one , I am pretty sure the tubes are toast and from what I understand it can be run without them. It's just going to be something to run up and down the Coosa river on anyway. I told Doug we need to take those his and hers toilets off the back...

While I was at it and had everything mixed up I went ahead and glued up the reducer to the bulkhead , looks just like Cinnabon icing but not nearly as tasty. Once it kicks I will sand it , probably glue it from the inside then put a few layers of glass on it , then we can see about glassing...
