Thanks again for your reply. I've had this Advent ignition back to them once already and I know it is getting power. (This problem was identical with another CDI installed.) I think the problem must relate to a grounding issue with the spark plug leads or coil. I originally posted another...

The ES plugs have the correct reach for the ADA head. I run the resistor type (R) because you must with an Advent T3 ignition according to them. Anybody have any other thoughts about this or anything else? Also, I already tried disconnecting the Stop switch and it made no difference.

OK, I'm still stumped over this. Occasionally it runs perfect for 15-30 minutes and then major bog and no power. Runs on one cylinder only when it's bogging. Seems electrical because of the fact that there is no spark on one cylinder (sometimes front and sometimes rear!). So far I have...

I just ordered a set from JetManiac. Here's the 'stuff for sale' thread with a link to more info: http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/55883

That's right. And the whole registration thing is just for the Coast Guard in case you get lost, they'll know what colour and registration number to look for.

A ground is a ground as far as I'm concerned. I just made my CDI ground on the same post as the stator to be sure of a good connection. I had a spare ground on my Advent hook up too because I disconnected the temp probe.

That's part of the sport. I'm waiting for parts as I'm off all week and the forecast is for sun and can't ride... About 1:1 wrench to ride ratio lately. But I love it when it all comes together. Coils rarely go bad. Check the leads with an ohm meter to be sure: 3.5-5 K ohms or so steady...

If it works from cold and then doesn't when warm it can be a coil on the stator. It will ohm out fine but break contact when hot. Since you have ruled out the CDI, my next place to check would be to change the stator. Try a different one or at least do the ohm check right away after your...

Just last ride, somehow my ski ran over my own head hard. Luckily I was wearing my 661 helmet. I actually like the visor to block spray or when doing subs. I'd say give yourself a chance to get used to it and soon you'll feel naked without it.

I have no personal experience with the Raider mounts but I remember reading somewhere here about guys choosing to use them in Superjets because they are a little more burly. I don't know it they were talking RN or SN if that matters but they were running them deliberately.

So you don't premix? Also, if I don't have the hood off when filling, I get surprised every time and make a mess. So the hood is off anyway. I think this is a great thread on how to do this properly. Nice write up.

I know....every CDI I've seen has a Red power wire, except this one. I can't figure out which one is the power wire either. None have 12V to it. Do you remember what your Red wire off the Advent connected to? The coil is brand new and tests within spec: .8 ohms on Orange and Black. 4.18 K...

Thanks for the replies. I don't have a red power wire going to the CDI directly. I have a red wire that goes to the regulator and start switch that reads 12.49V.

Yes, that's all good. I tested the stator and it was within spec. When I tested the CDI I got totally different ohm readings than what the manual says. It's a Pro-Tec modded 6M6 CDI so I don't know if the specs for it are different than the 61X.

Very cool!

I don't know how old because I recently bought the ski and was told they were new. I haven't put much time on it either. I think they just get old and fray. They work better than stock but for a shorter life span. What about my 701 'single'? Any ideas? The front reeds were worse but that...

I'd go white. Great looking ski! Love the leaf. Almost like AC.

Actually you're on the right track with the candles. Google 'candling stuck studs' and see what I'm talking about. I've removed several impellers quite easily after getting wax in the threads with capillary action (like a copper sweat fitting). Good luck.

Why then, wouldn't an Advent CDI work with either stator? According to them, the 61X has stator timing 7° more retarded which their CDI's must be adjusted to compensate for. Their CDI's can work with either but must be reprogrammed by them for either 61X or 62T. The stock CDI may 'work' when...

OK, so this problem is still haunting me. I got a new coil and new MSD boots. I get a steady 4.18 K ohms on this new coil. Today it ran great for about an hour and then suddenly the rear cylinder wouldn't fire under load. If I can slowly get to speed it will rip on both. See pic below of...
