    Flipping couches for fun and profit

    I pulled the pump back out and swapped the impeller into the other pump , it still had too much clearance for my tastes , this is the second plastic pump I have had this issue with , I am now pretty much convinced that with a plastic pump you are only going to run a OEM wear ring , every...

    Seat recovering : I am going to throw out a few tips, take em or leave em. whether you buy seat covers or recover them yourself you will have to remove staples and it sucks , well usually it does , instead of un-stapling the cover and then removing it take a razor knife and run it all around...

    These three spots just got a lot bigger but there is a really good reason for that , notice the jagged edges of the spots in the last post , that won't work when you are doing a gelcoat pull and trying to blend in the repair , you can take a die grinder and a carbide cutting bit and smooth the...

    I have a few spots to fix on the gelcoat, these appear to be air pockets in the fiberglass and the gelcoat covering them has broken , usually I have white gelcoat and cabosil here but at the moment I am out so to quickly and more important cheaply fix this issue I ordered a gelcoat paste repair...

    2003 Yamaha XLT 1200

    Those jetting specs I posted for the European model skis should work for you then, I just wanted to make sure you were not at some high altitude. My suggestion is rejet to those specs and ditch the Cat and the oil pump, premix it at 50-1 , If the customer does not want to premix the leave the...

    2003 Yamaha XLT 1200

    Does the Japanese model even have a Catalytic converter in it or is it like the European model. Stock jetting on US models is 117.5 main and 87.5 pilot jet , does it have accelerator pump carbs , I am trying to make some sense out of those jetting specs. Way leaner main jet on a ski that...

    Oem and aftermarket. finally a great solution to not watering your engine

    Come to think of it I don't think I have ever seen a ski with that style flame arrestor come in with water ingestion issues.

Some interesting stuff going on here , rear cylinder and piston look perfect but the head is damaged on number two and three cylinders , it tells me someone just slapped it back together and...

    Other Xlt1200 keeps melting pistons

    Yep first thing I did on a Polaris triple was run the center to TDC then run a vernier caliper down the two other spark plug holes till it touched the piston, if they were not the same reading it meant it was crankshaft time.

    Other Xlt1200 keeps melting pistons

    Just started work on one yesterday with no compression on the middle cylinder , you can bet your sweet a$$ that isn't a crank seal issue at least , also the oil pump was deleted so it's not or at least shouldn't be an oiling problem, that leaves two things , either it dropped a power valve or it...

    Returfed the ski, I am not putting on any more turf than what it came from the factory with , that means no going up and down the footwells , the stock nonskid works and looks just fine , this turf is not optimal but it is what I had here and it is done ! I say blue can go with purple since...

    Today I am doing paint touch up , I tried the purple I painted the last ski with and it was a bit off, I found some red and mixed with it and got it fairly close and used an artists brush to fill it in , the key here is to mix activator with it fairy heavily, you want it to thicken and harden...
