    The Great 61X/62T Debate, Philosiphized....

    The 62T cyl I have will get ported, nothing crazy mind you. I don't mind messing with dual carbs (much better that the 3 under the pipe on my couch) but would like to get the most bottom out of what I have.

    The Great 61X/62T Debate, Philosiphized....

    Here's bringing this one up from the dead. I have a complete 62T in pieces. Cylinder needs to be bored, needs a crank (have one on the way), carbs need to be rebuilt (sat for a long time), reeds could use new petals, pistons/gaskets/seals,...... Also have a complete and assembled 61X...

    My First World Finals

    Hi Mike :arms: I'm not going to the finals and probably won't meet you but thank you for getting my order out so quickly. I called on a Friday a couple weeks ago from a crappy cell phone, order shipped Monday and was in Florida by Thursday with some cool stickers thrown in. Can't beat...

    Just got my first ski after wanting one for 20yrs

    At this point the price is irrelevant, you now have a ride and that's what counts.:arms: Welcome to the loony bin. :woot:

    one way valve

    This is what I just put in. The black thing is the Home Depot/ Lowe's sump dump 2" one way valve that is used by many here and a 24/7 scupper. I was told that I don't need the scupper but since it was already ordered I stuck it on anyway. I also used a 2" threaded-slip fitting that I...

    Barrel Roll Nightmears

    That is one nice brain basket. You'll get a nice birds eye view through that bird cage.:biggrin: I was thinking about sticking some tennis balls on the ends of my bars, that would be cool. Not.

    cant rember the formula to work cc size

    Holly calculus. Here's one for all you calculator junkies. Train #1 leaves Naples Florida at noon and is traveling at 60 MPH heading north to Clearwater Florida which is 150 miles away. Train #2 leaves Clearwater at 12.10 pm and is traveling at 30 MPH heading south to Naples Florida...

    Think I found an O'side jetski on google earth

    Looks like it to me. Check out the same wave just a bit north, I think there's another one. Looks like hes getting going right after a jump.

    Freestylegeek's squarenose conversion

    OK, I'll be watching this one. Sounds like something I would like to do next year. Good luck and keep the camera close by.

    Did I make a mess with this hood ?

    foamrific, even. I'm going to start on it today, first I will scoop out the bulk of the foam and get a rough shape. Than I'll start sanding it smooth. This might be the dumbest, most time consuming, costliest (could have foamed in at least one set of footholds with all that foam), a$$...

    Dead battery

    Before you go on a witch hunt I would take both batteries to your local Auto Zone/ Discount Autoparts and have them check the batteries. They might have a damaged cell or 2 and even though your charging system is giving them enough juice the batteries might have a hard time storing it. I...

    Did I make a mess with this hood ?

    ^^^^^^^^ Now that there is funny, I got a chuckle out of it. Sad but true, though.:biggrin:

    Did I make a mess with this hood ?

    You think ??:cool2: If you only knew how many times I glassed the whole thing in only to sand it back down and start again. So far I have 4 weekends in these darn things (mind you I was on call and got distracted on a regular basis) and there's still turfing to be done. I got 2 sheets of...

    Did I make a mess with this hood ?

    demolition X, sorry to hear that. I got mine right away, took me for ever to find out how and who I should pay for them. After several attempts I just sent a check. I have no experience with any other footholds (these are my first) so I can't compare but I do like them. I will have to add...

    Did I make a mess with this hood ?

    Thank you Mr saki. I did like you suggested and moved the holds as far forward as I could. Had to lift them up to clear the exhaust tube but I can level everything out with padding. As for the hood, I'm sure I'll let out more than one cuss word followed by a swift kick in the but for...

    Do you have an automatic bilge pump ?

    Reed cages and spacers - why?

    Cages hold the reed petals and spacers move the reeds away from the cases. In some setups the reeds partially interfere or block the intake ports (VF3's in a GPR) and need to be spaced out. Keeping them out of the air flow also made them last longer.

    Yep.

    Did I make a mess with this hood ?

    Yes, they be them. Quite comfy even without turf and padding.

    Did I make a mess with this hood ?

    My problem is that I don't have a garage and have to work on the ski at our warehouse which is about 20 minutes from home. Sitting and waiting for resin to dry plays with your mind so I dun did this. I know I just made a shait of extra work for my self, I only hope the hood isn't ruined...
