    That'd be great, I'll definitely take whatever I can get but I don't want to steal them off you. I'll give ya something for them. Was it Running when you took it apart?

    I got back at it today and I got it to run off the primer. I plugged off the feed line and just ran with the primer to prove that it would run. I adjusted the throttle stop/idle screw to solve the high revving problem. Then I hooked up the fuel lines and got it to run for 20-30 seconds. After...

    It already has a spacer on it. it might've had an sbn at one time. It has some kind of extension welded into the flywheel cover with a bearing in it which I believe was for an old style total loss system or something like that.

    Is there a part number on that or can I use any square pump sbn 44? And where could I get a good one?

    She fires! Back when it was running, one of the stater screws rattled out and got all jammed up in the coils and flywheel. It destroyed the coils and pushed one of the flywheel magnets over slightly. I replaced the coils and put the flywheel back on as is and it still ran so I left it. Since...

    Just looked at some things this morning before work. The manual says the coil is built in to the cdi and it is called the igniter. The only way it says to test it is via the secondary coil by testing the ohms between the spark plug wires but that is in spec. The cdi has grey, black, red, and...

    The ground is a good idea, I'll definitely check that out. I'll look into the coil too, here's a pic of a spare e-box I have, not the one in the ski

    Not sure there is such a thing, the manual makes no mention of it. I'm assuming either the pulser or exciter coils are the primary but I'm not sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I know it's more expensive but the ski has some sentimental value and I'd like it done right. Plus I've done every test and replaced every part possible, even rebuilt it with new seals and all. It seems like a timing/tuning issue but I've adjusted the timing every way possible Sent from my...

    Hey guys, I'm looking for someone who is good with these skis in the northeast. I posted the story in the general forum but didn't get any hits. I have a 550 with tons of AM parts that ran great and then just died suddenly. I can't get it running no matter what I do so I'm looking for someone in...

    Checked all that, everything seems in order. The water box blew while I was dumping little bits of fuel in the carb. It made me think it was a timing issue but I've tried every bit of timing adjustment and got nothing. Compression was around 120 when it stopped running and is now about 180...
