Thanks for the help. Filed down the mushroomed side and then they screwed right out.. noww the tamper proof caps, really am not finding an easy way to get those off. What is the best technique? I've searched but am still having trouble getting them off.

Could anyone give me some advice on getting the screws out of the butterflys on the stock sj carbs? They are crimped a bit I guess so you can't just unscrew them. And also, whats the best way to clean the carb (not attached to the motor) if you get some metal files in it? Thanks

Handlepole bracket reinforced. Started by taping closed the holes so no resin drips through: Then flipped it over: Layed down 2 layers of 1708 biax: The next few days I'll slowly pull apart the carbs to rejet and install a primer kit and t screws for tuning.. and then a b-pipe

Thanks Cattledog, perfect. Well you can buy alternate bolts and do it that way but the instructions say to tap four 5mm holes that the steering base screws into. you then put the turn plate on that and then screw the turn plate down using the stock turn plate bolts

Getting ready to reinforce the handpole bracket. Installed the ATP steering system earlier. Had to drill and tap 4 holes: came out pretty good.. one screw hole was on a slight angle but it works: put it all back together, looks great and is much lighter than my old turnplate. like the...

Daily update: epoxy and 404 in the bond line 6" strip of 1708 biax across the bond line bottom to hood lip strip of 1708 biax.. 1708 does not like to wrap over the hood lip, if i did it again i probably wouldn't use such a heavy weight cloth. also put a piece of glass over the foam...

Awesome, thanks steve

Haha I mean what do I need to take apart in the pump section to get it on? I don't want to pull something apart that has a gasket and then I need a new gasket if it crumbles. hah Just trying to avoid unnecessary work. Anyway, more progress: Sizing the glass to the hull. Filled the bond line...

Another question, what's the best way to install a pump cone?

Engine is out, threw a new spring in the handle pole after I got it off, and I decided to throw the 228 grate on. Tomorrow will be prep day for fiberglass. Was pretty simple to get the engine out, I just had to make sure everything was disconnected. Does anyone know the torques for the engine...

Just started to take it apart.. most of the connections to the motor have been disconnected and the gas tank and battery are out.

I think you can get it without the turnplate too and just use your umi steering plate

Have never been to a wakeboard event but that would be pretty cool to see

Should be starting Friday/Saturday. Probably will d-cut the ride plate as well.. Should I also cut it flush with the back of the ski (2008+ plates stick out about an inch)?

Getting kids started at a young age sets them up to be much more mechanically inclined and controlled when they get older.. All these laws here to stop kids from driving jet skis or any sort of boat with HP over 40 is ridiculous. There are idiots out there but they are of all ages and it mainly...

hah Same here.. It's amazing that the moderators are so ignorant over there. One guy is trying to clarify a blatent false statement in her f/s post and he is catching major flack for it. If someone reads that thread and still takes her on her word, they deserve whatever they get.

Ditto..

Banning two-strokes when you look at all industrial pollution or that small oil spill in the gulf is basically like pissing in the wind

I'd give it a solid 12h at least before I'd start getting worried

yet to get the motor out.. one week from now I think is when it all starts, and i pretty much can't wait hah. winters are way to long up here, right now i look forward to wrenching like i look forward to getting out on the ski in the summer. it's messed up. once i start pulling the engine out...
