Shonuff Welcomes Lesser Ski

[Shonuff]

Well, my Alcon rep owns a SuperJet it turns out:

"It used to tear my arms off but not anymore. What can you do to restore it to its previous glory?"

"Let's find out" I tell him.

He drops the ski off to me today. It's a 1994 SuperJet, bone stock except for plate/grate and bilge. It's currently shoving 158psi out both cyls so I'm pleased about that.

It's got a crack along the left side and he says it takes on water when he leaves it docked overnight . . . to which I informed him not to do that.

My guess is either the impeller is chewed to hell, the pump stator is screwed, or the foam is insanely waterlogged.

My guess is it is the latter. Friggin superjets.

We'll see.

Shonuff,

most likely all of the above!

Parkers boat has been water logged for years and still ran well.

check that pump out, AND refoam that shizzle.

[garage is starting to look more like mine BTW]

tell him it needs more cowbell

In this case, you might be right.

What carb is in this thing? 44?

how bad can a pump stator be, before it should be repaired or replaced?

 

[Shonuff]

I think too many chips and its efficiency is doomed.

 

[750SX]

********, i think i might have to send mine out to be repaired. it is ugly at spots. I'll have to take some pics

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

stock carb for a 650 or 701 (61x) superjet is a mikuni SBN44

in my experience, ANY wear, or chips on the leading edge of the pump veins results in a loss of hook up.

 

[Shonuff]

I can probably dremel a lot of stuff out.

Flake, I know you're the penultimate square guru so I'm looking at you for everything.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

Im not nearly even the next to last square guru.

Im probably like eleventy billion from the penultimate guru.

Well, that and I don't want to waste Chuckie's valuable time. The way I see it, after the two little Flakes go to bed, you become the resource of choice for mechanics who don't really have to accept full responsibility for their work since they're doing it for free.
