Well then. How do you maximize carb/intake velocity? Carb size must be based on cylinder size and expected rpm/power band?

Believe it or not crank seals are not that hard to do. If I can do them, you can do them. Buy the manual for your ski and read the procedure. You will be ok. These gurus here will help.

https://www.nike.com/t/speedsweep-7-mens-wrestling-shoes-EZd4VG/366683-001 They are narrow, but mold to your feet. They are somewhat hard to put on and hard to take off -- you have to loosen the laces. They are very thin and are synthetic and dry out quickly. Once on, you don't even know...

I switched to Nike wrestling shoes and love them and they dry out quickly.

@fastgtfairlane what is the "stinger?"

Confucius Zen Master, your fortune cookie confuses me: I am feeling around in the dark here. Please shed light on this topic . . .

@waxhead et al. is my answer in my previous post? Assuming that lower rpm means less cylinder vacuum/suction: Is there less suction/vacuum from the cylinders at LOWER rpm, so that the smaller Venturi's on the SBN 38's which are one per cylinder which means one carb dedicated to the cylinder...

This is pure gold to me at my level of riding ability. I have briefly ridden @FX1Dave's (@wavewarrior's) FX-1 and Super Jet which are light switch type of set ups. To me it is too much, at least that is what I think now. But when I watch him lay his FX-1 completely over digging a hole in the...

Just a couple of thoughts from the peanut gallery here. This discussion is being approached from two separate perspectives. First, those with experience running large carbs on engines. Second, those interested in the theory of large carbs on engines. I started to put a SBN 44 on a 550sx...

BK, thank you. Did you mean that the 94-2020 are the same?

Apparently the Factory B Pipe is different for the 61x single carb Super Jet and for the 62T dual carb Super Jet. How can you tell that if a B Pipe is for a 1996-2020 SJ700 Super Jet and not the 1993-1995 Super Jet?

Like @kevbo says, the SN SJ has a little bow to stern rocker to promote playful turny-ness which causes that wiggle at speed on straight runs but once you go faster it decreases. And you get used to it. My wife beats me on straight WOT runs on her SN SJ when I am on my FX-1. The 440/550 hull...

Understood. The regular length extensions, I believe, do not do anything to change the ride of the ski. They merely replace the existing end caps which generally have water captured in them. At some point I will drill a hole in my 550sx end caps to see if water comes out. Then I will decide...

Front exhaust for Old School Freestyle Tricks:

Have you thought about these? https://prowatercraftracing.com/product/440-550-hull-extensions/ https://prowatercraftracing.com/product/kawasaki-440-550-xl-hull-extensions/

That first part hurt my feelings . . . 5' 11" 194 lbs. (trying to get to 185 lbs.) Are you still riding an Edge?

What are the performance differences between these two ride plates? Keep oem existing intake grate? @SteveC Your assessment of my desires and likely also my riding ability is spot on. Thank you. @SteveC and @fastgtfairlane The oem 2019 Super Jet handlepole is 45 inches from pole...

I just bought a new to me 2019 stock Yamaha Super Jet: It definitely is easier to ride than my 1995 Yamaha FX-1. And I have no doubt that it will be a reliable ski. I have a MSD Enhancer still to put in and I have ordered a Blowsion Billet Handlepole. The ski rides very well. For instance...

I bit the bullet and ordered the Blowsion Billet Handlepole with OVP steering, Blowsion Turbulator chinpad, Riva 4 degree bars and HD standard length steering cable from Scott at Blowsion. I will report back how it works on the 2019 Super Jet. (Because I am married, I forgot how much it...

@kevbo and @Harbor This is what the person whose photo I grabbed said about the necessity of padding the bottom of the steering bracket: "I crushed my knee the 1st ride and was out for a month. in that time off a mfg a pad/bracket to prevent that from happening again."...
