I am impressed by the number of people who's skis run long enough for the hardware to come loose.

You didn't mention the X2/ A complete collection would have the Gen1 and Gen2. That 300 will be easier to find than a Gen2 X2.

I recently had a bad battery on my superjet, bought a new battery, had the same problem, thought it was the starter, dissembled the entire ski assuming it had to be a bad ground or a bad starter. Was placing an order for a new battery but had my new $140 battery tested first. Brand new battery...

I wont comment on piston colors. It's not something I am experienced in. Those plugs look like something I would be happy with. Wouldn't that steam clean the plugs? I also felt he was describing that the problem resolved after resting. I would think that if water was in the cylinder, it would...

Hydrolock is caused by fluid in the cylinders preventing the motor from moving. It's bad news because the starter is strong enough to blow out the crank bearings. Water can come in through the intake or it can actually hydrolock from too much fuel, but fuel hydrolock is only going to happen...

When you leak test the carb, you are ensuring the fuel pump is not leaking. The carb should be able to hold 5-10 PSI for 10-15 minutes when you add pressure to the carb with the return and etc blocked. If it doesn't hold pressure, then your gaskets or needle is bad or you have too much corrosion...

I also had strange problems from my CDI. I had a MSD that was used. I had strange behavior on my ski too. I put the stock ignition back in and the problem was resolved. CDi can make very weird things happen. You can't just change from on to reserve and keep going nuts. The reserve line is...

I have a cup gun but I don't like the work it does. Too much orange peel with a 4.0 tip when a HVLP gun is not that hard to clean. For mold work I thin the gelcoat 8% with styrene and for finishing work I mix it 5:1 with patch booster. I cool the gelcoat ahead of time in ice so down into the 60s...

This is the part. It seems to be coming out well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Typically I just use talc and resin to make a putty. I sometimes just thicken the gelcoat to fill small imperfections or use the gelcoat to dye the poly resin. However, for the project I was working on at the time of the post, it was very easy to just spray it with gelcoat at the time of...

Post 964 https://x-h2o.com/threads/what-did-you-fab-up-today-a-thread-for-the-home-fabricators.168018/page-49#post-2086226 Presently I am building the rear cap, which is much smaller and moving much faster. I've learned a lot since I started the front. Prior to this, my largest project was the...

Telling you what I was told by my local retailer was not an attack on your abilities or knowledge.

FGCI told me not to use acetone, and to be careful with styrene for thinning gelcoat. It discolors the gelcoat. Duratech is very expensive. I have been using a product called patch booster which is working great.

If you can't find someone, we can try to help walk you through it. The hard part about a X2 is not the install. The 750 drops right in and most of the cooling is the same as it would be for the 650. The problem is the mismatch 650 carbs, pipes and props needed since the 750 tuned parts wont fit...

I have not. I have looked at them though and they do have potential. That's the opposite of the way I want to go thoguh. I spayed 32 ounces of Gelcoat the other day on the rear cap I built for my camper which is about 16 sqft. The front cap I built was about 90 sqft, which is a gallon. These...

Gelcoat spray gun question here. I currently have an assortment of spray guns. The one I use the most for gelcoat repair is the Aeropro, which I think might now be TCP global, 2.5mm HVLP spray gun which was recommended to me by @Nate_D...

I put a big fatty in my printer for the first time tonight. This part would have taken 4:25 to print with the 0.4mm nozzle, but it was ready to work in 59 minutes with the fat mama jama 1mm nozzle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Today wraps up a composite project that took me 2 years to do. 2 years is a long time to do a job, but looking back... just holy poop have a learned a lot of poop in the last 2 years. Learned 3D printing, now I 3D print plug making tools, custom blind wrenches, custom vacuum attachment for my...

This guy gets it.
