Are the rings locked up in their grooves?

Maybe it has the wrong size rings and/or pistons for the bore?

Mine's groovy now.:arms: Just seemed to need some run time, & teflon tape on the gauge threads.:rolleyes:

Try smearing a dab of grease all around the o-ring on the tester. Screw it into the low cylinder & see if any grease gets blown out. Mine was doing this, still can't see why, the plugs don't leak. If I can use teflon tape & get the low cylinder to seal properly.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Happy B'Day young grasshopper.:biggrin:

Why dontcha bring one (attached to your ski of course) over toDaytona this Sat.? Surf should be pumping!:Banane01:

See if you can keep it running by pumping the primer. If so, fuel delivery to the carb is the issue.

How's the volume level on a ported ski as compared to a sorta dried out stock waterbox?

You need 3 things to start; compression (did you check both cylinders?), spark at the right time (did you put spare plugs in the plug caps, ground it with the original plugs still in it & crank to see if it sparks well AT THAT SPEED? Then pull the plugs, put a finger over the plug hole & feel if...

What did the damage? Throttle lever?

I'll be in Jax that weekend, so it's Vilano or the Spot for me then....

Why 38cc? My 790 (86.0mm pistons) has 36cc & 170 PSI compression (heavily ported though).

I can do Saturday IF the waves are good enough there to warrant the drive.:popworm: Since the Daytona break is so good (or so I read:cool2: ) maybe we should do it there Saturday?:sneaky:

This thread has been hijacked! From an attempted group buy (which can benefit everyone, seller included) to this.:wall:

Looks good,:biggthumpup: definately need more pics so we can see how far back it goes.

Yeah, I saw your writeup on install, good stuff.:biggthumpup: I may want to try your ski in the surf once she's repaired, I remember riding it before & not noticing any funny handling issues, just carving. That was a 3 minute ride though. BTW I found I had a broken plug cap, now she's firing...

Kaveman is right, but from the white smoke I'd suggest a compression test first - you may have a leaky head gasket. Shoot us a picture of the plugs. Also, completely drain & sop up ALL the gas, as it also sounds like water in the tank.

Good input Matt.:woot: Anyone else?

Anybody used this stuff to mount their Tubbies? I've read many of the threads, including Nick's install, but never saw mention of this sealnt - everyone seemed to be using 5200? Is this something new?

I talked to Blowsion today, they do take PayPal...:Banane01: I'm thinking about doing it next week - anybody else in for a set? Maybe I can get them to come down, what with the competition and all...:sneaky:
