Curious if anyone else has a reliable way of getting ahold of it here in socal. I imagine john wayne airport will tell me to piss off when i pull up in my truck with a bunch of 5ers ready to go.

Do you have any opinions on the adr crank.

I have a 440 cylinder on the shelf. Fairly certain i get that sleeved at 75mm and its now a 550. Any added benefits from that aside from it not being vast iron?

In depth

I pulled apart this engine to reseal it and this is what i found. Cylinders are scored to piss and crankshafts are wobbly everything else seems to be fine. Looks like shes due for a couple sleeves. I think stock bore is 75mm and i want to keep it that way as its a 550 and i just want to get it...

10 4. Ill poke around. Thanks for all your help. Seem to be a pit of knowledge.

10 4. Is their a proper way of removing from the harness?

https://www.pwctoday.com/forum/technical-discussion/vintage-skis/1109-dual-cooling-how-to Found it. Was so close to wrapping up this project. Probably gonna utilize the bilge line instead of drilling a whole in the hull. And gonna break the engine down and reseal it as i was just gonna run it...

Thats funny i actually just broke that gauge on that kit as the guage hold enough pressure to test pop off pressure on a stock 94 raider. Need to replace the gauge and i should be good. I used to run half and half 110vp race fueland 91 pump in my dirtbikes but 50:1. i imagine that same formula...

I imagine there are kits with higher and lower tension springs along with different jets? Do you have a link to a decent jetting kit with spings maybe? Its my understanding that with the higher compession head im running a higher risk of detonation? Race gas 110? 40 to 1to keep things nice and...

Huge. Thank you. Again is their a specific mikuni sbn 44 i should buy or any oem yamaha will do? Also i noticed thick head washers i think. Is it pimped or is it stock size?

btw this is most of the work, really a paint job for anyone curious about the ski in depth. https://www.x-h2o.com/threads/was-given-a-550-the-general-lee.207941/

Btw if i was to switch to a sbn44 is there a certain model or brand i should go with. I see alot of different mikuni 44s but idk what one is going to work best for my application. Is it a direct mount with the spacer plate in place? Also what happens to the oem vaccum line? also dont pay any...

Also ill take to pictures at the end of the day.

What do you do with the vaccum line if you install a sbn? Also 38 or 44?

Good info. Gonna order another pop off tester as my last gauge broke due to the required popoff for a 94 wave raider stock psi requirement was higher then the gauge vould handle. I would imagine at this point i would pump 20 pounds into the carb and look for a leak with soapy water? What should...

iv checked compression on front cylinder 180 and rear cylinder at 173ish. i figure from what iv read this is good enough to run. my issue right now is that i know i have fuel flow as i see the fuel coming out of the return line from just cranking the engine over. iv gotten it to start 2...

after all the shopping iv done on a superjet people seem to want a premium for thier RN. 3500 to 11000 depending on year. id say for 2500 its a decent deal. in my eyes that basically means you got everything you need for a running ski besides the engine. id bring a little fuel pour it down the...

Ya old needle, spring and seat where all reused. Its the oem kawasaki 38mm carb. I feel like i some how messed it up. Im gonna take a look at another 550 i have just to see if iv got fuel routing right first. I also need another pop off tester.

Trying to get my 550 to pull fuel. I just rebuilt the carb, and i did not use genuine, (amazon special) so i imagine this is problem number one. I also installed an aftermarket inline filter for the fuel and ripped the stock one out. I basically pulled the hose off the fitting of the carb, and...
