I picked these today , this sun is brutal on this garden , there are three things that just love heat, Tomatoes, Peppers and okra , but even the tomatoes don't produce well above 95 degrees , some of the pepper plants I had to cover because it was just too much sun , the leaves were turning...

You are at a point where I was ten years ago, now I just knock out a couple of skis a week and call it good , I am still fairly fast but I am just not killing myself for these idiot customers any more , besides it's hotter than a whore in church on Sunday here .

The red stator wire goes to the red wire off the starter solenoid positive battery posts , the orange wire goes to the start switch usually yellow red or orange. If the orange wire on the solenoid hooked to the red wire on the solenoid it would be engaged all the time. In other words all the...

Back in the day I used to back the GMC down far enough that the tailgate was touching the water, I literally rode it into the back of the tuck bed.

The STX I was working on had a bad primer, of course they removed the choke plates and shafts , I mean why wouldn't they , anyway I was spraying some W4U up under the holes in the flame arrestor to light it off and I noticed oil all over the bottom of the ski , I pulled the carbs because I had...

I think this is it

It usually is

I took the VX1100 off of the flip stand , loaded it onto a trailer and moved it to the other shop where the big compressor is , then I came back and loaded up the flip stand, I should get it all put back together this week and start laying some primer on the top , I am not sure how much work the...

Yeah the last couple of those I got were a really loose fit, this is one of those , have started using the ones from Ritco, they seem to have a lot better tolerances , Matter of fact I have one already in a Plastic pump, I am probably just going to swap this impeller into that pump housing and...

I blew my right knee out first thing this morning , right when I lifted the back end of the cherry picker off the trailer, I use to be young and stupid now I guess I am just old and stupid , an ace bandage , some icy hot, a knee brace and an oxycodone later I am back at it just as stupid as...

Today was water test day or bonehead day, not sure which , I got the ski loaded on a decent trailer and made the trek to Gantt lake , I went to check the drain plug before I put the ski in and there wasn't one , mostly because it was missing when I got the ski and I never put one in it, I have a...

Nice I always liked these skis.

Today I am doing some trailer repair even though this ski won't leave on this trailer , this is a lot trailer at the moment that someone gave me after they ran over it with a tractor and bent the tongue. I tried beating the tongue out of the trailer from the back and it was having none of it ...

I have used it on Motorcycle -ATV boots before but using it for this purpose somehow never occurred to me so I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks after all..

I think I will stick with brake fluid , most everyone already has some in their garage. Also I just pour it back in the container when I am done and use the same bottle over and over again, just don't use it for brakes anymore please as it will likely contain petroleum distillates...

This tip isn't for all of you , some of you have plenty of cash and like to spend it, if that's you then feel free to hit the x in the top right corner of your screen , it isn't for you. If you own a Yamaha and have ever pulled apart a carb you have seen old crusty main diaphragms that felt...

Usually on Kawis it's the deck surface that's uneven if there is a head gasket leak , it is from the studs pulling causing an uneven surface, the only way to tell is pull all the studs and sand it on a surface plate.

Usually on 750's doing that it's a bad stator , that being said Kawasaki spark plug wires are crap , yours are most likely 25 + year old crap , I have seen on several Kawi's over the years seriously broken spark plug wires , on a 650 I worked on in a span of like 12 inches the wires were broken...

I ordered this as a 2XL , I normally wear an XL and it is snug but fits , I wanted something I could easily get on and off , I barely got it on, couldn't get it zipped and I had one hell of a time getting it off, I can only assume that this is a child's size 2XL , judging by the label the...

Rear bumper corner had turned completely white , on some of this Seadoo plastics you can heat gun or hit it with a torch and it will come back to it's original color , not this piece , I tried and failed, so I just taped it up and shot it with vinyl dye , it's not a perfect match but even if...
