    Is the sport / market declining?

    No BK. The one party Communist state of California DOUBLED GAS TAXES SINCE 2017: https://caltax.org/gas-tax-increasing-to-59-6-cents-per-gallon-effective-july-1/ One party is for the use of fossil fuel energy. One party does everything they can to discourage its use.

    Is the sport / market declining?

    Unfortunately, many people in California are taking your advice. And that is my point. And the jet skiing market is declining. I burn allot of fuel because I ride (or really try hard to ride) daily. Although the water is getting colder, the air temp today is forecast to be 99F. Life =...

    Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand. You can stay and fight. Or you can leave and let what you love be devoured. Dagny Taggart did eventually leave, letting her father's railroad fail. I understand the desire to flee instead of fight. But gas prices affect our jet ski market don't they?

    Is the sport / market declining?

    Let those with eyes to see, see: @Big Kahuna when gas prices are DOUBLE in your area you will see that everything is more expensive. And you will see fewer boats on Lake Altoona. California is a one party Communist State. Kamala will bring California gas prices to the Nation. Which...

    Is the sport / market declining?

    Back to the economy which necessarily includes the Jet ski market and whether or not it is declining or not. There was not a single boat or a single jet ski on the main channel of the Sacramento River yesterday and there have been fewer and fewer even on holiday weekends. The water was glass...

    Thank you @WFO Speedracer and @DylanS I will post up photos of what I find. It did not stop our riding, either yesterday or the day before, or the day before that because we road the 2019 SJ and the FX-1. But my wife prefers how sharp her 1994 SN SJ turns and how she can carve it at low and...

    Engine Symptoms

    Put the Yamaha 650 in my wife's ski. It starts right up and spins the prop just fine on the stand. Took her ski to the river and it would not spin the prop in the river. I assume midshaft bearing?

    Jr. is quite a ways away from the Sacramento Delta. Otherwise I would use him if he has time available. I just checked with 2-stroke guru Meticulous Metal (Kelly), and plan to meet with him with the crankshaft and the wrist pins and pistons off this Wednesday !!! For the Harry Eyeball...

    I will do what you guys say. But here's some more local info. This guy has apparently been doing jet ski engines for 30 years or so and is highly highly respected in the area. I will call him, but I have been warned by others who say that he is just slammed with business this time of year...

    Hmmm . . . I just watched this video: If I hone it with a Flex Hone like in the video can I use 81mm rings again?

    I will replace crank seals. What honing tool would you recommend? Replace with oem 81mm rings? If compression was good at 160 psi per cylinder would you still hone and replace rings?

    See movie of piston wrist pin slop (very hard to see but I can feel it) here: https://rumble.com/v5fpmvh-1994-yamaha-super-jet-701-61x-video-3.html Question: Can I just order 1. Two Piston Bearings; 2. Two Piston Pins; 3. Four Piston Pin Clips And be good? Or are the above parts sold...

    Well not entirely nowhwere. I am almost through installing my known good Yamaha 650 in the ski. And the other engine is out and on the table for disassembly . . . Updfate: 650 is in and running. So, now we have three functioning skis. My wife and I will ski tomorrow, but probably with the...

    @Captnem There should be an envelope on the upper right - just to the right of your user name - click it "Start a new conversation" with @SteveC BTW, how you purchase from @JetManiac is by requesting what you want to buy from him via a "conversation." Other great ventors like @waxhead has a...

    @Captnem 2 cents from the smallest least knowledgeable peanut in the gallery here. You understand 2-strokes. You understand Yamaha 2-strokes. Personally, I prefer to stay with one platform. I am not a professional jet ski mechanic or a really knowledgeable amateur jet ski diy mechanic. So I...

    Is the sport / market declining?

    You can't talk about a market without talking about what you call "politics" which is what I call government interference with the market. Please come here and give me your advice: https://www.x-h2o.com/threads/engine-symptoms.210205/#post-2153423 Also, lose some weight . . .
