that busted reed has nothing to do with the crank being bad. the crank went and broke the reed not the other way around. i have sucked a few stock reeds and never damaged anything. still sucks but that crank was ready to go in the 1st place.

I guess I shouldn't have been starting it up and revving it to the moon every time I went to the shop..... :wall:
Reed caused the crank, no doubt about that. I MIGHT have ingested water a time or two.....
Nice try smoofdizzle but you know as well as I that Ass Ski has been down for other reasons too!
Now the decision on which route to go....Roo, no influence please!!! I know what you're gonna say and my credit card nor my divorce attorney can handle it right now. I have been on the fence though...that SS846 in Havasu is awful hard to forget.

Sorry about you luck.
I have a 62T that came out of a Raider. Put cylinder and head on and go. The KN air comes with it but the coupler does not. I know the guy who bought the ski new the motor came out of and it was well taken of. Always keep inside. $475 plus shipping.
I'm pretty sure this one has carbon reeds
