Before I go buying a top end swap kit or having these cylinders bored I want to see if anyone has a runnable 62T cylinder preferably with the pistons , but if the bores are clean I can buy new pistons, not really concerned what the bore size is , it's going on a Waveventure 701 for a friend of...

Me too I am going by the shop at the lake Saturday and I am grabbing every Kawi driveshaft I have to see if something I already have will work on this before I go buying a 550SX shaft. I may have to do some actual work on a customers ski today , who knows the day is still young .

So I was trying to figure out how big the aluminum insert in the firewall actually is , I am of course assuming that it is round , I drilled a small hole at the top till I hit aluminum and measured the depth with the digital caliper, .46 " , then I used the calipers to measure the diameter of...

A pic from yesterdays adventures in ski building , I just knew when I put the top half back on the hull it was going to hit somewhere , it didn't it looks like there is just enough room to get the pipe it in there , I am actually going to create some more room on the bottom half by growing the...

Yep until the late 80's , early 90's Jets skis were a very niche market , the stand up jets skis still are. You didn't see mass appeal and really large numbers of jet skis till 1988 , in 86 Kawasaki dropped the X2 making it the first mass produced Japanese sit down watercraft that could carry...

The last time I went to SBT in Clearwater they had a fully restored F14 sitting in their showroom.

I spent most of the day test fitting , no glassing today , I ran into an issue with the driveshaft lining up with the housing and engine placement , if the bearing housing lined up the engine hit the hull , the 650SX shaft wouldn't work , so down the driveshaft rabbit hole I went. I kept...
