    Is the sport / market declining?

    It is strange for sure. I am 48 so I don't consider myself old but maybe I am... Driving through the neighborhoods the last few weekends going to my dad's house I couldn't help but notice there was not a single kid outside on a warm 70 degree Saturday afternoon. Come to think of it there were no...

    Is the sport / market declining?

    I am done with anything political in this thread... Back to the topic I have my opinions on what is happening with the sport and like most things there is no one easy answer. 1. COVID Bubble: We had the covid bubble where everyone wanted anything outdoors including skis so they were coming out...

    Is the sport / market declining?

    If you want to cry about gas prices then California has been higher than the rest of the country for the last 20 years. California gas prices are also down $1.10 per gallon from last year. It ain't the gas prices keeping people from riding. As was already said, drilling more will not help. We...

    Is the sport / market declining?

    You do realize we already pump more crude than any other country and it has been going up every year? So supply is already up and demand is down from it's peak in 2019 yet gas prices are still high...... The other driving factor is the gas companies, they like profits and large ones at that so...

    701 runs like a stabbed rat for 15-20 seconds, then sounds like it's being choked out.

    If you are doing an new engine or new top-end because the old one failed. #1 is the rebuild the carb. Lucky it didn't cost you a new engine.

    Turf Tip #1

    Turfing is hard work especially the heat gun and razor knife but an ice cold beer helps the burnt fingertips. If it is hot and humid VB is hard to beat, not that XXXX that @waxhead drinks :p. Mexican beer is either Pacifico or Modelo. Doe Equis and Tecate are terrible, LOL.

    Wax exhaust like B pipe

    I would add that the Wax pipe uses the FX-1 chamber which makes a little more power than the Limited chamber. Factory Pipe does not offer the FX-1 chamber anymore.

    Mixing Gas

    I do the brap thing a few times then fog all my skis before putting them away. I really don’t think you will ever get all the water out of the water box, even sitting a year some water still comes out on first start. Fogging is the best protection.

    Wax exhaust like B pipe

    Pretty crazy I would agree. Haven’t seen a single review on the Wax Pipe. I have one and it looks identical to the Factory Pipe but I haven’t installed it yet.

    Mixing Gas

    I use Klotz which seems to take a little longer to mix and is easy to see since it is red. I used to dump the oil in the jug first then add gas. I noticed that the oil seemed to almost stick to the bottom of the jug. Since then I put about a gallon in the jug then add oil and slosh it around...

    White Trash Build 440/650

    I think a B-Pipe would be too big. But that ain't going to happen either. This was to be a beater and loaner so not dumping anything else into it but a fix for the rubbing tank as neither of us like it enough to keep away from our superjets.

    White Trash Build 440/650

    Last fight was the stock gas tank. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to hold any pressure so I pulled it out and realized the fresh gas had for some reason made the entire front of the tank crack, maybe it was age? After two old tanks cracking I gave up. So after having a new one on order...

    Unconventional DIY ignition setup on 787

    The 787's don't really have static timing adjustment, everything is bolted in place. If the woodruff key isn't sheared it should not change. For all the time you are wasting you could have pulled the MAG cover and checked the magneto cup and pickup. Timing does not change between 3000 and 4000...

    Unconventional DIY ignition setup on 787

    5% of the time the cheap aftermarket Seadoo MPEM's work every time. They are all junk so there is your issue.
