    Ya I wasn't going too fast at all. I see more expeirienced riders turn around at slow speeds like a 180. Is that just giving it a lot of gas?

    Other Crank bearing help?

    I mean it tries to turn over without a spark plug, if both are in it will try for a little, then sounds like it builds up pressure, and stops cranking. then when I take the plug out, itll crank again. i put gas in the spark plug holes and it starts, then dies after about 5-10 seconds.

    Other Crank bearing help?

    Yes I have. I had the ski running after that., then turned the hose on, then the ski died, but having the hose nozzle quite a bit aways wasnt the best idea and didnt make it in time to turn it off. Now i have it in a small body of water in the front yard. (big jacuzzi, fresh water, no chemicals)...

    Freestyle Submarine quesion/air intake help!!

    I would take it to the lake, but not knowing how to get up on one, not being 100% sure its gonna float, and not having any equipment like a lifejacket or anything, makes it hard. Does anyone here ever go to Buena Vista??
