    Ski is flipped over the other way I laid down some 1 1/2" foam and a couple of yoga mats where the edges hit. First pic is after a cleanup pass with 1500 then 180 grit wet dry. Second pic is after sanding with 80 grit on a DA sander, as you can see a lot of the ugly is now gone and a lot more...

    701 62T Waveblaster No Power to Coil and No Spark

    I don't even bother with ohm checks, you want to see 35VAC coming from the charge coil and a few volts coming from the pulser coil, if you have that the stator is usually good, if it has 35 volts going into the CDI and nothing coming out going to the coil the CDI is bad, cheap VOM meters are a...

    Here are some pics of a half assed painted ski , I say half assed because half of the ass of this ski is painted, I decided to finish this side completely then flip it and do the other side, my back and me had a conversation and decided this was the best approach and it knows best. Painted with...

    I sanded it this morning and hit some spots with spot putty then resprayed the primer, seriously I could spend a week on the bottom of this ski and it would still not be right. I keep having to remind myself it's a flip ski, it just isn't my nature to do things half assed.

    Oh no!..The rod!.. It's broken!

    Pretty much every engine I have torn apart from them was bored 1.0mm oversize, on most engines that leaves you few option on Seadoos you are greatly narrowing your o-ring sealing surface for the head, I don't like going more than 1.0 at all. There are only two bore sizes in their engine std...

    Half of the bottom is , shaped ,sanded and primed. it's not perfect but the goal here is twofold, the bottom needs to be white and not look like a bear mauled the chines , so far it's one out of two. The top I fully expect to be eyepopping, I learned a long time ago that white paint , trailer...

    I am trying to gear this more toward what anyone can do in their own backyard, sure if you have a paint booth and all the goodies by all means ,use them, but you can get decent results with off the shelf products if you follow the correct steps.

    I have used a similar setup before made by preval, but usually I used it for gelcoat, if the gelcoat kicks in the gun you just throw the whole mess in the trash ,no big dealio. I have a Sata jet but it's a production gun, made for shooting cars , boats etc, it puts out a lot of paint and you...

    Seats are cut off with an electric kitchen knife the ground down with a grinder and a flap disc. Basically I made the Waverunner XL seats into Waveventure seats. Then I recovered the seats.

    Oh no!..The rod!.. It's broken!

    My issue here is this just because you put in an SBT engine and it ran great does not mean all of them did and vice versa just because you put in an SBT engine and it was a dud does not mean they all are either maybe I am in a unique position here because I have put in more SBT engines than most...

    One more pearl of wisdom here if I do shoot a hood with Duplicolor I spray the cans into my spray gun mix then shoot the hood with the spray gun two things at least then you are spraying with a spray gun and those cans can vary colors slightly from can to can, if you up mix them all together...

    Oh no!..The rod!.. It's broken!

    My whole point here is with SBT it's a crap shoot you might get a good engine or you might get on that's not so good , it's a game of odds even a broken clock is exactly right two times every day
