Gonna say this is the same as the Greater Yamaha, Wamiltons heads, Think UMI made them, There have been a few others that were made with their on label on them.

That really old school.

I've got a bunch of those since a local sacramento guy steve sabotnick was factory X racing. mike coe ran a lot of his stuff and he was a real guru. he made pipes too using a Coffman sizzler head pipe with a water adj mod like factory pipe and welded up his own chamber. most of the superjet stuff I got was early to mid 90s square and RN stuff, so yea, its very old school when the SJs first came out. that head is going to be very high compression and I would just run the thick stock head gasket to lower it some. its race stuff for sure and it probably used 3 base gaskets to raise port timing too. that head does not make sense with a waterjacket seal but no chamber seals. I've got some with dome Orings and 1211 for water jacket seal. I know they used to top deck the cylinders and maybe with 2 perfectly machined surfaces, they didn't need a head gasket. at least for 1 race anyway

genesis: they're all good when they run and junk when they don't.
revelations: they all die.

world champion jetski racer on superjet and octane. not sure about 3 wheeler racing. if you google his name with jetski, the racing results come up from long ago. he now guides fishing trips in the sacramento area.

Looks like there were two pro racers named Mike Coe ( atv) and Mike Koe (jetski) back in the 1990's.

You should take pics of all the parts you have with descriptions on who built them and who ran what on what ski etc.
Yes!

I knew that, but i'm getting senile in my old age.
HELL NO! I don't even want to take pix to list them on ebay for sale. why the hell would I want to waste my time listing info that doesn't make me money? if it doesn't have a dollar value attached to it, i'm not picking it up off the ground or even looking at it! i'm so lazy i'm surprised I wake up every morning.

at least my body isn't broke down so I can ride anytime I want. unlike somebody that's giving me crap.
that's all I want to do is ride! oh, and make easy money by picking up parts off the ground and handing them off for a pocket full of cash.
and I don't want to work on junk even when its broke. I had to replace the starter on that fake rickter today and I hated doing it! it aint no gravy job on that thing either. the best part was pulling the cherry like new OEM starter out of the starter pile.
