When I had taken my old engine out I marked all the shim locations and installed exactly the same. I am using the same bed plates, but didn't know how much a new engine case would affect alignment. After I noticed the vibration I checked the coupler alignment with the rubber installed and it...

I'll have to give that a try. I am wondering if my bearings are starting to go? I started the ski on the dock tonight for a min. Vibration is there whether in water or not, just seems worse in the water. I did notice some noises I've never noticed. When the ski is idling out of the water...

I'll give it a really good look again. I did notice for just a min or so that it felt like it was cavitating and then it quit, but we had about 4 inches of rain that day and the lake level is up and a bunch of vegetation crap floating around. Thought I probably just sucked up a cattail or...

I did not check the alignment without the rubber coupler. The manual didn't mention checking without it, or maybe I just overlooked it. That will be a pain to pull the pipe back out to get to the motor mounts and loosen them up... Is it better to check it with the rubber removed? If that's...

Just built a 61x/61x home ported setup in a '91 sn... Got it all installed and it is awesome. Still have fine tuning to do, but I have this weird vibration @ about 2300rpm's. I thought maybe the 701 engine vibrates more than the 650, but this is not normal. I can really feel it strong in my...

So if a guy doesn't have a FCV should I run any kind of restrictor in the line to the stinger after the T? I am using a sizzler pipe. Or would that dry things out too much? Thanks.

Maybe this will help? http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/1358

Had the same thing happen to me a couple years ago... Only difference I haven't had the chance to mess with the ski to see if even runs! Said it was just supposed to need a starter which I think I may have one that will work. I am curious what others might say about a budget build on an old 440...?

Congratulations! :arms: Your life changes like you never thought it would but it is completely awesome. Undescribable! Kid's got a bunch of hair! My boy is almost 17 months and still half bald! Very happy for you and the Mrs.

I would subscribe to a mag like this in a heartbeat. I think it sounds awesome. I really like more of the grassroots aspect that has been talked about. If possible, I know you have to get some money to cover costs from advertisers, but it would be nice if the entire magazine wasn't just one...

Probably not a good idea. I use some basic money market accounts to setup emergency funds for families. The catch is if you want to write a check on them it has to be $100.00 or more. Keeps a person from nickel and dime-ing it down to nothing. Also, it is not attached to their checking or...

I think you should do both at the same time. It may mean that you won't put quite as much towards paying off debt as you would like... but if you don't have some type of cash reserve then what happens when the car breaks down, or the water heater goes out? Most people bust out the credit card...

$15,500 for 2008 and $5000 catch up contrib limit if you're over 50yrs old.

Get rid of that revolving credit, i.e. the credit card, first! IF you were to default they will nail you with fees and likely charge you high interest and possibly back date it. Those guys are vultures and they have very little mercy. Just the nature of the beast. Check out my website...

Now that's funny! :haha:

I am in the process of doing the same thing, building a 61x and going to use my coffman's pipe. Don't have the fundage right now to spend on anything else. I did see one of the coffman pipes go for somewhere around $250 on ebay recently. That suprised me. I think I paid about $100 for mine...

Funny thing was when I told her that I needed the wrist pin bearing for a 61x motor she knew exactly what I was talking about. She said, "I just can't look up a 61x or 62t motor in my catalog..." Blah,blah, blah... When I told the atlanticjetsports guy the same thing he asked "How many do...

I am self employed. 99.9% of my business comes from referrals. If myself or one of my guys treated one of my customers like I was treated I would be shooting myself in the foot! You CANNOT run a successful business with customer service like that. And it starts at the TOP. I might call...

All I know is this lady was extremely rude and very unhelpful. It was like I was inconveniencing her because I wanted to SPEND money! I called atlanticjetsports.com today and they were EXTREMELY helpful and friendly. That is where I will be spending my money from now on. I just don't have...

I have been ordering parts off and on from parker yamaha for several years. I don't spend a lot, but they have always treated me good, unitl today. The lady in the parts department was very rude and completely unhelpful. I need to order a few simple things... wrist pin bearings for 61x motor...
