    Any thoughts on the following narrative.... I let my 701 ski sit for a couple years (heated inside, properly winterized), I got it out the other day, fired up and ran for about 10 minutes before issues. I noticed it wasn't pissing water thru engine, so pulled up on the beach to investigate...

    Other Sport Cruiser

    PIcked up a mint condition sport cruiser today with a bombed out motor. Time for a project. Anyone ever get a 750 engine in one of these? Big headache to do it or no? What all has to get transplanted with it? Coupler, electrical, etc. What about motor mounts? How fast were these stock?

    Limited chamber in fx-1, need to connect chamber to waterbox

    I stuffed an sj tank in my fx-1 and am able to run my limited pipe as a result. Problem seems to be a good way to connect chamber to waterbox.

    Thoughts on a melted ground cable from battery to engine ? FX-1, went to crank it, turned a few times then i watched my ground go up in smoke after taking the hood off.

    Super Jet starter rebuild, can i buy the parts?

    Can the oem starters be rebuilt? The local alternator shop says $150 to have mine rebuilt, I told them no thanks. Starter still works fine, the bearings (or are they bushings) just sound really dry.

    I have a friends 650sx that I offered to repair for him, I cannot for the life of me get it to run well for more than about 20 minutes before it gets hot and boils the fuel out of it. Did a leak down test, checked all the cooling lines, etc and nothing obvious pointed itself out. Tonight I...

    No start / dead SJ

    I am piecing my ski back together after a build and have no cranking action. I poked around with a test light and I have power up at the handle pole switch and my ebox appears to be grounded (at least the screws and bolts that hold it together at least) Doesn't the solonoid get it's ground from...
