    I do not think so, but just want to confirm... Was there any year superjet that came stock with a 44mm BN Mukuni, or were all superjet's equipt with SBNs (OEM)?

    Tuning carburetors / Mikuni SBNs

    FYI: I scanned a pamphlet from Boyesen about tuning carburetors and put it in the FAQ. Check the thread to read it. Pretty simple and to the point. I will also put a link to the Mikuni Manual. Powerplant: Tuning, Exhaust, engine setups, compression, etc. Post title: Carburetion - Single and...

    Houston, we have ignition!!!

    I've made some progress today... The wife and Matthew went to DC to visit Aunt K. and I was able to make some major progress on the skis. No distractions, had everything needed in the garage. She started right up (well, need to adjust the idle). :woot::arms: :Banane01::biggrin: :woot: Still...

    "Derailing the reinforcement bandwagon!"

    So Neil, "RMBC Freeride", is on a mission to derail the reinforcement bandwagon! I can understand his argument against reinforcing a ski, especially if you are a veteran freestylist. But if you are learning to roll your ski, or regularly ride in shallow water (nose stabs), why not reinforce? I...

    IJSBA Ski classifications

    Am I correct in the basic classifications for skis... Stock - no modifications, as it comes from manufacturer Superstock - stock engine with larger bore. Limited - bolt on modifications allowed Mod - Modified to gain max performance (porting, bolt-on, etc.)

    Yamaha part numbering system, is there any reasoning

    Is there any way to tell by part numbers if parts for different Yamaha models and years are compatible... Ex: The SuperJet and Blaster coil are interchangable, but have different numbers: 62E-85570-00-00 - IGNITION COIL ASY for 1995 Yamaha Wave Blaster 61L-85570-00-00 - IGNITION COIL ASY for...

    Blaster shaft, it is bent? (poor quality video)

    So, does this look like a bent shaft? The impeller housing is bolted in, pump assembled, and the seal between pump and shoe is removed. There was only one shim on the port tab for the nozzle. You can see the gaps in the attached photos. I am wondering if I have a bent shaft because when I...

    Pump scupper, is it worth the trouble?

    Is it worth the trouble to install a scupper into the pump, vs the transom? Any problems doing that, is it inefficient, etc? Anyone with pics?

    Hood lip reinforcement

    Haven't seen too many posts on how everyones reinforcing their hood lip. I want to start riding aggressive and want to prevent damage (and not repair), and since I will be installing footholds I thought I'd go ahead and reinforce the bilge. Only thing I recall seeing is a post by Paul (Jr.)...

    Blaster engine swap - engine will not align

    Wondering if anyone else has run into this before... I am dropping a 62t engine into my blaster and the engine is about 1/2" too far forward with a dry fit (no dampener installed). Used my blaster 61x bedplates, and 61x int. bearing coupler with SJ coupler on the crank. The coupler is not...

    Volunteers for Tech Articles

    Seems some do not like the way I have the FAQ. I have links to detailed threads with through coverage for frequent topics. I know there are often multiple links, but some will have great pics others will have tips and others will have list of materials. I often try to notate what the links...

    Quirky state registration abbreviations

    There was a brief discussion about this at the Lone Star freeride. The question was why the state of Colorado had the abbreviation CL and not CO as is used with the USPS. My assumption is the O can be confused with o (oh) and not 0 (zero). I think there are others but not sure...

    Working with carbon fiber

    I bought some carbon fiber for reinforcement, 3K 2x2 twill... Anyway, this stuff slides around when you handle it. How do you lay this stuff so there are no gaps in the CF (finger tip size gaps in the fabric).

After the awesome Neilcakes, I started my goodbyes and before I realized it was already 11:30. My sister was leaving to go back to school in DC, and I wanted to...
