Stock 38's Primer Install

[Mdavies_02]

So I have a new set of 38's with my JM/Blue 781. I rather run the ones setup by Chris and Blue, however, they have brass caps instead of the primer fittings. I have the fittings, but can't seem to find an effective way to remove the caps. Is drilling them out an option?

Let me know what worked best for you, and what I should avoid.

Use a narrow drift from the inside of the carb and tap them out.

Are you using the stock air filter?

Had to look up what you meant. I guess if I can find something small enough that makes it simple enough.

Are you using the stock air filter?

No. Tau Ceti's I think, I can't recall.

O ok! I asked because on the stock ones there is a nipple that you can hook the primer line up to. Is there a reason why you aren't going to use the stock one? It is the best one for water ingestion.

Going to use what I have till they fail again. I should start look looking for a replacement but I can't seem to stop spending money as it is.

Fail again? Just get the stock setup and be done with it until. You can come across them fairly cheap compared to the ones you have.

I am currently making an excel sheet to see how much I have spent this year on my ski so far. Once I get the figures, hopefully, you'll see why I have to hold off. Things got out of control.

You could use a crap screwdriver as a drift.

I bet you could straight up trade your tau cetis for a stock air box.

It may be a mistake to add up all the jet ski bills, at least keep it away from the wife.

From Engine, Hull, Expoxy, Prop, Pole, Parts, more parts, Lifejacket, wesuit, steering, pump and midshaft rebuilds, shipping, import fees.

$7603.25 CDN.

And this is why people buy built skis.

So you have oem 38 carbs that have had the chokes removed and the brass plugs installed in all 4 holes with no fitting for primer? All you are trying to do is add primer fittings?

Yes you can just drill them out or knock them out. New fitting can be glued in if you mess up the press fit.

Perfect thank you.
