@SteveC Photos?

I took of the coupler cover, took the spark plugs out and spun the coupler/engine back and forth by hand: 1. It felt good, no resistance and the midshaft bearing felt good. 2. The engine itself felt like the piston wrist pins were loose. Is it supposed to makes this noise while rocking the...

No, in this case Trump is the Anti-War President. Vote with Dick Cheney and George Bush who have endorsed Kamala Harris for President to continue the war in Ukraine if you want more death and destruction and support for the military industrial complex. @mikidymac No, Biden closed Anwar from...

If we can get Trump in and he fulfills his promise to “Drill Baby Drill!,” then gasoline supply will increase. And if all you guys go electric, then gasoline demand will correspondingly go down. As a result gasoline price per gallon could conceivably decrease to $1.50 or less for all us guys...

Well Jet Dynamics' casting could be better. Unless you have one of these or are pretty steady handed with a flap disk on an angle grinder, you likely will not be able to fit the Jet Dynamics rideplate for the FX-1:

And a great movie: And this is the proper use of AI:

I have the Pro Tec ride plate which is flat and spins out when entering a turn unless I am on it using proper technique. So, I ordered the Jet Dynamics ride plate today. Speaking of proper technique. I am still a very lame rider. But a couple of weeks ago, I learned that riding surf stance...

Thank you! Where did you find the DG Quadra-Fin? And what does DG stand for?

@jpswift1 What is your experience with the Jet Dynamics ride plate for your FX-1?

I won't pull the cylinder(s) until I put the Yamaha 650 in my wife's ski. But out of curiosity, where can you buy a new Yamaha 701 oem crankshaft assembly for a decent price? Better than Partzilla.com:

Rear cylinder:

Front cylinder:

I cannot post up photos from my inspection camera because it is a Micro SD card and I can't find my adapter to full size SD card. However, I can describe an unusual thing I saw in the front cylinder. The top of the front piston had some fresh shiny "dings" in the very center where the spark...

When my wife and I bought her 1994 Square Nose Super Jet I assumed (and the seller did not disabuse me of my assumption) that it had the stock 701 engine in it. Well, when I eventually informed by a friend that it was, in fact, a Yamaha 650, I was pissed but it was too late to do anything with...

Thanks Mike. Can you also tell the year of manufacture?

What engine is this?

This is the type of dolly that our best jet skier buddy uses to load and to unload his ski from his receiver hitch hauler without backing his truck into the water. He lifts the aluminum dolly which is quite light out of the back of his pickup truck, then uses the winch to pull the ski off of...

Now this post is gold for me. And timely because I have two sets of sponsons to install yet.

Well, you have shamed me many times with your build (for instance, I won't show this thread to my wife), but your labeling of your electrical panel really puts me to shame . . . Quality shows. And your work shows it.

Post up a photo of the EZ ski please.
