I did the same, compressed the rope. :bigeyes: That's some serious force. I did not want to crack a dome, or damage needle bearings on the pistons so I stopped doing that for removing the coupler.
I had to get a friend and use a chain vice grip around the flywheel, heat the hell out of the coupler with a torch, and both use big breaker bars.

great that will be fun...see my problem is i have a bilit coupler on the midshaft and a stocker on the crank..i need to change one or the other..i thought it would be easier to do the crank side but i guess i was wrong...i am getting another midshaft so mabye i should just put a stocker on that and then put the billit one on my new ski although that coupler probally wont be any easier to take off

Dude look at the pics I posted earlier in the thread. Putting a puller on the flywheel and a vise on the puller worked great! It was so easy even. I heard that heating the coupler is a bad idea cause it can damage the crank seals. Good luck!

I got my ski back together last night, man I hope it works OK today.

Oh yeah. It was on my superjet

....... like I'd bother to do a nosestab on my XP!?!

why not
my wife was doing nose stabs on our xp before any of our crew even thought about barrel roles or nose stabs it is actaully kinda fun

on on hx is fun too

ahhh the old days

I don't think I could do a nosestab on my xp...I ride flatwater...but I'm willing to try!

I put my superjet in the water today and it wouldn't start. I think it has something to do with replacing my fuel lines. I got spark and compression but it won't start. Check out my thread under driveline..superjet pulse lines problems (or something like that). I'm so pissed I couldn't ride today!!!!!!!

:grouphug:Thanks to everyone who helped with or shared my ordeal!

I had the supply line and pulse line switched up on my carbs and now it starts fine, but let's keep that on the down low :shhh:

:fingersx:Man I hope it runs ok on the water

 

[McDog]

Runs great...

:brap: :barrel:

I'm back in action!

This may sound like a stupid question but can someone explain the concept of kenney keepers to me? I've seen pics of them on websites forsale but I don't understand how they help keep the mounts from breaking...Thx

keep the motor from going forward when you hit the bottom..they do nothing for landing upside down
