Super Jet Leaping Lisa's P.I.G.

[FlightPlanDan]

O.k, she lasted a long time...But I'm having to work on my wife's ski a lot lately. So here it is......("my ski" thread is how I keep track of what I've done) ...So, this is more for me than for anyone else...lol.

2004 Super Jet. Bought new from Riva in September 2003.

1. B pipe. Yes, she got one b4 I did. Poor rinsing/maint rotted her stock exhaust.
2. Rule 360 bilge w/ wamilton switch.
3. Removed choke flaps & installed primer.
4. Removed on/off/res switch
5. Ground down hull ribs to accomadate stinger. 1/4" rubber buffer installed on hull wall.
6. Replaced bad OEM starter with after market...(2006)Again (2011)
7. Installed JSS modded coil thru Jetmaniac. (coil is still good, but I have low confidence in the 8 year old wires.)
8. GP800 motor mounts
9. Riva 0-degree bars
10. New ODI grips
11. Skat Trak 14/22 cut-back impellor.
12. New SBT impellor housing with delrin liner via Jetmaniac.


When mama hits the green button......it's gotta go! lol.


All else is bone stock...that I can think of.

Thanx Don, but the shipping is minimal...not worth all of that misery. I've gotten a few starters from them b4. Very Reasonable.

Not really "inside", but on the workbench anyway...lol. I guess only the few that have seen the results of true garbology understand.....lol

 

[FlightPlanDan]

Starter installed, coil installed, all new power cables made. Just gotta put it all back together.

Done deal....back together running nicely on the hose.

 

[FlightPlanDan]

Primer plunger is bad, I think....

If fuel gets all over your fingers as you're plunging........I guess it's bad..lol.

So does this mean Jen will have a riding partner again soon? She keeps asking if the water temps are high enough yet, lol.

 

[FlightPlanDan]

Yep. Lisa has been out a couple of times this year. Water is a balmy 77 degrees.

 

[AtomicPunk]

is that all? it is 87 degrees here. It gets uncomfortably warm. :smashfreakB:

Yep. It's usually in the 80's by this time of year... 77 this morning per the surf station, which is about perfect....just need some waves.

 

[FlightPlanDan]

Well, mama got my Riva 0 degree bars....she didn't want to give up the stock plastic pad thing, so Idok hooked us up with the mx style pad.

So mama gets to ride a pig too?

It's not a good idea to dump an entire can of sea-foam into the tank. As much as I like the product....
She won't ride when the water is cold. (under 72). It sat way too long with that sea-foam and gas.
I had to ride it last weekend just to burn it out. I hate the stock length pole and the lack of footholds. Totally unconfortable to me.
But....it pisses me off how good it runs now. lol.

 

[Sam1sAwesome]

Nice.

 

[FlightPlanDan]

Pulled her pump today. Wear ring is wasted as well as the stock impellor....oh well, got a little over ten years out of them!
Getting a brand new wear ring and using a skat 14/22 cut-back that's been laying around. Racing prop, I know. But, I used it while mine was at impros.....I was really expecting it to be a dog but it worked well.
Gotta get hers right before I really dig into mine.

Not likely that I'll be riding before spring.

There is always the foot rocket around to thrash your azz!

Nice! A few more tries and I might get the hang of it...lol.

Just ordered an SBT wear ring through jetmaniac for Lisa's ski.

 

[FlightPlanDan]

Installled pump today.
The SBT wear ring worked well. However, the delrin liner is not pressed in; by design it seems. It is loose to the hand prior to install. The lip that is on the OEM housing is not there. The lip is formed by the plastic itself upon install (pushing up to form the lip that the pump seal fits around.
Makes me wonder how easy it is for water to get behind and start swelling.
The best thing is that it's done!

Now I can start on mine.
