Okay... so check reed petals and timing and if it happens again then cdi? Can backfires be caused by priming too much fuel? What about a lean mixture of fuel or too low of an octane? The last time I ran it I had to borrow some mystery fuel to flush it...

I used to wear a silicone ear plug in my right ear (3/4 side). It seemed to work great but it turns out I should have had bigger concerns. Now I wear a helmet :banghead:

I didn't put any ether or lube in my jugs. What else causes backfires? I just sold and shipped my spare waterbox yesterday, I don't want to have order another one...

I'm having a backfire problem now too. Just had a crack in an r&d exhaust manifold welded (it ran okay when I took it off), waited about three weeks, and then put her back together. I've tried starting it a couple times. The three times it did anything, it backfired. Fresh spark plugs, not...

So if you've been riding since you were 12 or 13 I want my 'H' back bitch! :highhorse: You look ready to throw a one-hander even back then too. Happy 2100th post! :beerchug: edit: Happy 550th post to me in honor of your ski :cool2:

What he^^^ said. A buddy with a blunt pry bar and windex works great for squeezing it through the bottom while you pull the cord. Make a big loop with the cord - don't tie it to the vents or it'll stay there forever.

Yeah I've destroyed several myself too so I usually have spare pieces. And per Jerry's advice, I keep a ratchet in my tool box that I can hook up to one of my hood straps as needed. I just can't seem to commit to it 100% until I run out of spare latches... I never thought about running a...

I might have one. I'll check tonight if noone else has one for sure.

:woot: Guess that means I'm in if I didn't say so before. Not sure on any other junkies yet other than Mike but we'll work on em :firedevil:

Yeah he did the same thing to me... Much like you did with your one-handed rolls :banghead: I pancaked a roll hard on Sunday and that pretty much did me in for inverts until my balls dropped back down by the end of the day :rolleyes:

Epoxy resin. I'm no pro but I'd think up to three layers of biax on the inside (maybe 4", then 5-6", then 6-7"). Start small on the outside (ie, 1"x2" then 5"x4" of mat) and sand it, fill it, and glaze it smooth. Be sure to glass under the lip too - don't just fill the ridge. You might want...

Man it's been a long summer. Nice to see some of the big stuff I've been missin since last Winter :woot:. Thanks to idok and Ollie/Butti for towing me in both times. Saki, SWEET rolls! I wish that video would have turned out. Man you were throwing one after another out there. Slut, nice...

Fly back Monday. We'll be riding Wed :cool2:

Don't fall :thinking: I use a stiff plastic tube running up the pole with a coupler that I tap into the surgical tubing wrapping up my arm. They just come apart right there at the coupler. I don't know about jellyfish but I've sucked up sand :wallbang:

Tap into a line of surgical tubing running up your arm and fill your suit with warm water. Tap into your helmet as-needed. Just gotta maintain comfortable running temps and don't go wot :angryfire:

Nice! With Pete's help, I tried a lot my first weekend. Then busted my skull the next weekend so I haven't really been too into fine-tuning them. This is the best pic I got from that first day, some are better than others but I clearly need more tuck and a bigger setup would help. I use...

If you're in the mood to finish off the season with minimal downtime, just run a bead of 5200 around the flange and then inspect the foam this winter. Re-rivet if they feel loose.

I'll be seein yall Sat by lunch. Got an obligation that morning.

I'd love to be able to say that. Nice skills!

Awesome thanks for the info Paul. I don't have any welder friends to bother so you get the lazy question of the day... do I need to pull the manifold or can I roll the whole ski up to a welder's shop? This happened on my wife's very first surf (if you could call it that today) ride :cool2...
