Thanks... Specialized Roubaix Comp. Yeah, waiting on the next $100 B Pipe I see in the For Sale section

There.... much more valid. Thanks.

...note sure why this post the pics are showing as attachments. Sorry...

Finished for now. This will get me through the summer, and over the winter I plan to consolidate my stuff and make plans for a grown-up ski. Here are a few more details as well. Note that all of the parts of any value come from my '93 SN with a siezed boat anchor 650. XMetal turnplate...

I'll call this a little bit of a Rat Rod :) In some areas the paint covered really well and looked great. Other areas it ran or went on a lot lighter than I thought. Overall, I'm happy with it, and it will serve my purpose.

Now comes the slightly more entertaining part. After a sanding hack job, I did a relatively decent masking job and got the rattle cans ready :) From Day 1, I knew I wanted to use appliance epoxy paint. I used white on the inside of my '93 SN and was really happy with the results: So...

Here I found some slight nose damage. Solution? 5200 and some clamps. Once again, good enough for now...

First thing's first... the Bold New Graphics for 1995 will not be acceptable. I hate this part, but it is a necessary evil. My best strategy is this: 1) Heat gun and razor blade to remove all stickers. Pretty quick process - took me a couple hours max. But of course most of the goo...

I've been away from the site and my ski for a couple of years, not necessarily by choice, but by time / $$$ / career / etc.... Excuses, excuses... Anyways, I picked up what I would call a 90% stock '95 SquareNose back in October, and it has sat under cover in the garage until a week ago...

Yup, that's how I killed the first time. I tried a couple more times and the stop button was able to shut it down. Throttle cable is good.

Well that sounds like a good place to start troubleshooting. Thanks. I don't actually need a sealant on those gaskets, do I?

Hmm... double check carb/manifold gasket I suppose

Ok... quick background: 6m6 stock internals. Protec Mach 1 Pipe. Enhancer with rev limiter maxed - ran great last year. Now, new for this year: fresh rebuilt single 44 from JSS (stock jetting.) All new fuel lines with new primer. And... new (old) ocean pro head. I know I'll need to...

ID is small... like 1/8" or maybe 3/16"

Thanks... she'll be running shortly :) Ocean Shores huh? Don't think the family would appreciate me ditchin on Easter Sunday. Thanks though Crab. Slowly but surely I'll be back in business and on the water... been awhile.

Do you know which is which off the top of your head?

There are two barbs on the JSS plunger primer. One comes straight out the bottom, the other comes out at like a 45. I'm assuming one is an air intake? Anyone know which is which? Thanks. -Evan

I'll take a minute to pile on here... Just got my carb back fom John yesterday. I put it on my desk and got compliments from everyone who walked by :) It's a work of art... no way it could have ever looked this good coming from the factory. Professional work and service. I will...

That looks really good. Not just the finish, but the lines on that thing are gorgeous. Nice hood.

with trailer I would venture to guess $2500 to $3K.
