i've always liked the look of the 96/97 color scheme and finally found one and only took 6 hours roundtrip to get it. well, just like my previous ski, this one has been sitting up for a while. from the separation/settlement in the tank, i'm guessing at least a year. compression was even and it...

With my riding gloves I can, but it’s hard to give a length of time. The past two months have been crazy hot/humid so only for maybe 10 seconds? What I usually judge is the water coming out of the pisser, if it burns my fingers or shows steam, than I know something’s not quite right. Might be a...

what prop you running? i found out that too tall of a prop may load the pipe making it feel like it's bogging and have no bottom end snap (speculation at this point since i haven't changed the prop on my ski yet to confirm it.) i know my pipe gets very hot, but not sizzles.

this is what Riva suggest and also how mine is run. i know with this route, there is very little water going to stinger/waterbox. your's looks like a B-pipe option

Yea, decisions, decisions, pretty easy once you know what's what. didn't realize the T was that much better over the X. i'm just glad I asked before completing the swap. 62T it is then. thanks for the help

Riva Red (but will get a B-pipe limited in the future) I guess my question should have been what’s the difference in engine blocks if any? i thought both were 61x

I really want to stay with single carb set-up. Heck, I can’t even tune my single, can’t imagine dual’s. i'm a better parts changer than a mechanic/tuner.

Darn, guess I should of asked this question before I pulled both motors…thought for sure my single carb’d piped motor would of out-performed a stock dual…

Pretty sure this has been asked before, but...what’s different between the two skies? I just picked up a RN and plan on getting rid of my SN later on, so trying to decide which motor/electronics to sell it with. 96 is stock with dual carb (compression is 158 both holes) stock electronics...

hey, just got finished working on the headpipe today. with a little heat the top and bottom screws came out ok, but the middle stripped out. tried drilling it, but naturally the bit walked. ended up using a dremel tool with a 1/8" carbide bit to get the rest out. by this time the hole was big...

Glad to help. What were the chances you meeting that guy on the lake last week? Talk about being in the right place at the right time with the right people. Still can’t believe it, who would’ve guessed something like that right here in town? Excellent find I think…

anychance it could be some pinched wires under the handle bars and a bad relay? :poke: :smile:

I know the nozzle on a 650 is plastic looking. my 701 has an aluminum one. not sure why the difference, I assume strength?

well that's not good news. it's such a small leak, i figured it was normal for a 14 year old ski, guess not.

lol about a hour of non-stop riding. when i got this ski it had no signs, not even a hint of pistonwash. i figured i'd work with the n/s that was already in there and start changing jets. i have no idea if any internal mods were done. had to check my timing about 2 months ago to see if was...

my next water routing will look even better. good points about the pop-off and tach. idea thanks, i was talking with a board member and looks like i've been tuning with a not-so-good water routing. it should've been closer to the picture at the bottom. working with the routing i have now...

thought i'd throw in up my hood mod. from about 4 years back i had done to my 91SN. pretty simple, drilled 4 holes in the liner and routed it out the back. the parts came from HD. the aluminum plates/hoses were glued with 5200. i used clear duct tape to cover the vents on top. stock weighted 18...
