    SXR1500 freestyle build

    What's the size of the hole in the tank, outside to outside on opposing bolts and maybe add a little wiggle room at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch. There are a bunch of Aluminum disc on Ebay fairly cheap, 1/8 " thickness should do nicely.

    SXR1500 freestyle build

    I also saw this interesting looking pickup on Facebook today he did not say what ski it was off of, he said Yamaha but it looks like a Kawi SXR 800 pickup to me, that being said something like this wouldn't be a bad choice either. The Facebook link is below. That second pickup is off of an STS...

    I didn't have a Seadoo pickup to measure but then it occurred to me I didn't need one I have a tank, so the distance from the tank bottom to the top of the neck is 10 1/4", I also had a Yamaha early model 800-1200 pickup out, it measures 14 1/2" but on either you can easily cut it off to...

    Spark only comes from fwd pug wire, no spark to rear

    I know a lot of guys used to use Polaris coils also but I have no idea what they were off of, I do know the wires were not glued into the coils on the Polaris . After doing some research the coils they were using are off a Polaris Snowmobile, I put an Ebay link below , it is not for an OEM...

    I hate to be the one to say it but MSD coils are not that great either.

    I have several old hulls here that are completely trashed I can probably get you a tube out of one of them.

    I am partial to the Kawi style switch that uses a lanyard, they rarely fail

    SXR1500 freestyle build

    On the 3D and other DI conversions you can use a flat aluminum plate and use the stock gasket for a template to drill the holes , then mount bulkhead fittings in the aluminum plate with drop tubes or you can do it like this one on Dans 3D conversion on PWCT. Dan used a stock seadoo pickup...

    How do the carbon fiber reeds wear out?

    No 16 years riding twice a year sounds about right.

    How do the carbon fiber reeds wear out?

    Usually I used OEM or used OEM, I haven't tried any of the SBT reeds so I can't comment on them

    Lets talk starters

    I always take a screwdriver and scribe a line across the starter halves on both ends , it makes reassembly a lot easier.

    How do the carbon fiber reeds wear out?

    The test is simple enough , pull the flame arrestors off, fire it up and hold your hand about an inch away from the top of the carb, rev it up, if you feel any pressure coming up though the carb the reeds are bad.

    How do the carbon fiber reeds wear out?

    I extreme cases yes and this is the case with any reed valves not just carbon fiber. if you can feel any pressure coming back up through the carbs the reed valves are not working properly, I have had OEM yamaha reeds do this and the ski would barely run in the water, this was on xl1200 but the...

    It's not that I am anti 550, I had a reed valve 550 for years and ride the piss out of it, but I also worked at the dealership back in 85-92 and I spent most of my time sorting out 86-91 model 550's , back then there were no SBN carbs , we were stuck with the crappy stock starters and single...
