    A few quick squarenose questions

    I may have found a cheap 1990 square for the summer. :Banane09::bananapowerslide: Is the pump/driveshaft/coupling the same as a roundnose? Can I just drop a 701 or 760 straight in, or what wil I need to change? Motor mounts maybe? Would a stock roundnose prop be an improvement over a stock...

    Spider Webbing Around Front Eyehole

    My ski was lawn darted into the sand & then repaired w/3 layers inside, 2 on the outside bottom only, sanded & painted w/genuine Yamaha blue spray paint a couple of years ago. In the last year the area immediately around the front tiedown eyehole has developed spider web cracks. Is this from...

    After a good solid 2 tanks of waist to chest waves at Ponce yesterday my ski suddenly died when landing from a medium wave. I'm thinking the battery cable or something as it would click but not turn over. Here's what I found...

    Value to Part Out 650 SN

    I may have an opportunity to acquire a stock, running 650SN.:sneaky: If I can't afford to keep her as a spare what would it be worth to part it out? Also, what's involved in making a complete RN X-Metal pole setup fit a SN?

    I have a second hand Wamilton's Big Bore w/custom machined domes in a Greater head, one of which has developed a crack.:banghead: Can this be welded if it's gonna take a couple of weeks to get a new one?:sneaky: FWIW, the crack is about an inch long, tangent to the bore, and at it's closest...

    I've searched & found references to these but no info on where to get them. Anyone know?:sneaky: I'd prefer ligtweight forged pistons but Wiseco will only do a minimum run of 6, with setup charges.:frown:

    Clunking RN SJ Exhaust Tube?

    Yesterday I noticed a clunking, rattling kinda sound when moving the ski on the beach. It's coming from the area where the exhaust tube exits the ski.:irked: You can make it rattle by banging the right rear of the ski with your hand as well. Pinching the inner tube against the flange with your...

    Bad MSD Plug Caps?

    Today I had the second MSD plug cap fail in 2 months,:bs2: both have had the metal insert that goes from the wire to the plug break midway where it's thinnest. I'm assuming it's from vibration (I run Wamilton's motor mounts) and the pounding of surf riding (even though it was waist high at best...

    Need Suggestions - Lockable Trailer Box

    I'm looking to put a big, lockable trailer box on the tongue of my trailer so I don't have to put everything in the trunk. It needs to be big enough for a 5 gallon gas can, tool box, 12" spare tire, small cooler, and a rubbermaid tote full of dripping wetsuit, helmet, PFD, etc. Who's using...

    Does Epoxy go bad in 3 years?

    I have half a container each of West Systems epoxy & hardener (with metering pumps screwed into the containers) in the garage that have been there for 3 years in Florida, so max temperatures should have been 95 degrees or so. Does this stuff go bad or lose strength? I'm gonna put Tubbies on...

    How to REDUCE arm stretch?!?!

    After much time, work & $$$$ my SJ is now running very strong:Banane01: :Banane01: but it's waaay too much to let a co-worker ride it. :rolleyes: How can I quickly and temporarily reduce the power? Even just 1/4 throttle brings it hard & fast onto the pipe, so just adjusting a lot of slack...

    What if Tubbies were $200?

    Would you buy a set? Are you serious enough to try and set up a group buy? No, I don't have any pricing info, but it seems like we should be able to get a decent break on the pricing if we bought like 10 sets....

    OEM Dual FAs better than 2 single OEM FAs

    Has anyone done any testing to see if the OEM dual carb FA as comes on SJs from '96 up flows better than 2 individual '95 & earlier FAs? What about water ingestion? I would think by looking at them the dual carb FA would be better on both counts; more vertical volume directly above the carbs...
