I am really, really quite tempted in a few years maybe. I think you're gonna see a lot of skis for sale soon from people like me who have started to scratch the surface of freestyle.
So I blew my top end up, I think I forgot a cooling line. As soon as I could feel it running weak I killed it, but I think it was too late. I could smell it. She was gone. Expensive licoriceing mistake but one I hopefully won't make again.
So I need a top end with 6 weeks left of the season. One...
I have ridden both JT and HT skis and I couldn't imagine running JT over HT. Both were probably over 5 years old each, but the fact that the HT lasted that long and still felt good vs the JT was a selling point for me.
I lost my old top end because I lost my cooling line. Got it as a running ski and it didn't give me a single issue all year - I promise you'd have never guessed it looked like that in the carb if you rode it.
Anyway, just one of those things I guess.
What do we think went wrong? I think he just had a hone on a scored cylinder and put stock bores pistons back in there, so I'm assuming a cyl might have caught a piston ring.
I hate poop like that. That's way worse than me!
I absolutely reamed that carb body with carb cleaner and compressed air. New oem mikuni build kit, new fuel filter. I was so confident I loaded it up and drove two hours, dumped it in the water and just took off hoping that I'd got it right...
Found it. Bloody carb was full of poope.
The red herring was that it ran fine for a whole season and then 15m after a top end it just gave up. The carb runs great now with an OEM mikuni rebuild kit.
Just did a top end on my 701. Not my first rodeo with 2 strokes or PWC engines, but my first 701. ADA head, B pipe, single 44 stock 61x bottom end.
It ran great for 15-20 minutes during break in. Then I came back, took a rest, went back out and it ran as per the title. I pulled the head and...
Back to the original question... I was at the local lake last night in the midwest and there were 15+ standups there. About 8 in our group and 7 other guys. We are in no way a ski hotspot but it was cool to see so many out there, mostly older kawis and a few superjets. Most people just wanna...
