Put S4 of switch bank one (far left) to the on position (timing led mode). Take the plugs out and rotate the couplers by hand. In a full 360 degree revolution of the engine, you should see the light on the side of the unit come on twice at 180 degrees apart. If so, your pickups are both fine...

I think they give you a 20g wire with each coil. Although that is fine, and works well, the reality is that the wire will be more prone to vibrate and rattle apart where it enters the ring terminal, or heat shrunken area. As speedysprocket says, 16g is perfect. It doesn't move around as much...

You could, yes, but you just have an extra hole to plug. I would check for clearance when you install the flywheel. I've seen those wires rub through on the ring gear so many time it isn't funny.

The silver lug is the ground on the coils (the bottom one when you are looking at the msd logo the right way up) A tip with that pickup plate...put a blank grommet in the hole where your wires are running through to the back of the plate and then push the wires through a hole. It stops rubbing...

Early ones are 7mm...

I particularly like the one to the left of the above link...blows goats for half price

I know we use a different brand of paint here in oz, but the clear over base principals should be similar. I've never had a problem with contact adhesive softening the clear coat. Sure I scuff it up, but thats it. When I do a turf job for a customer, I never mask of the edges. I coat the...

I hate the idea of not being able to wash sand and other crud out of the ski, so I like to have some sort of scupper. The best setup I have found is a dual breather pole setup, with a single bilge and versi plug max. The versi plug doesn't flow water that fast, but it works well alongside the...

You can also buy the BPP beads themselves in bags. Also very handy for filling any little spots that you can't be assed shaping to. What I like about The EPP method is that you can do the entire floor area, and then through the access holes of your foot holds can pack the stuff right up and...

I've ridden both engines, same setups...850 direct from Dasa, and 865 direct from XMW. The 865 hit a bit harder off the bottom, but after that, they felt pretty much the same. The dasa could benefit from more porting, and the XM would benefit from thier intake setup. You couldn't go wrong...

Yep that's the gear. Prob is buying it in smaller quantities around here!

You'll always get that area on the outside of the tray that starts breaking up after the repeated barrel roll failures that are inevitable on a ski that lacks any real pop off the bottom. Sure, bigger waves help to remedy the situation, but sometimes we can't have it all. Agreed on the foam...

Yep, they are junk...I have a customers ski in front of me right now with one. A novel idea, just poorly exectuted...

Agreed, the new one piece Maxx 148mm pump is a nice bit of gear...Is it as aesthetically pleasing as the Skat? No, but it's damn close... I've never had any problems buying from Maxx...

Both of those are grounds. The black attached to the pickup plate grounds the e-box itself. The black from the pickup runs up and into one of the ground points in the e-box. You could in theory attach this black wire directly to the pickup plate, but then you would have to plug up one of the...

And something that plays broken records

Very nice, ah to be able to pick exactly what you want for a build...the stuff that dreams are made of! Not to hijack, but thought I would show you what I did with the tank/hooks/strap...another way to do it anyway...

Use an FX1 oem spring with the tensioner...it doesn't get an easier, and pole weight (feel) is perfect...

Yeah I would say it's in the pump area. I have seen several Rickter have this issue which is caused by the angle of the pump shoe mounting area. A long story short, it seems to differ slightly to that of oem. When you fit up the pump should and install the pump, there is a small area at the...

Let's not kid ourselves here...we all love the drama, we just hate to admit it. This stuff happens to the best of us. If I was the number 1 flat water guy in the world, and had a sponsored ride...I would certainly think twice about riding a ski that wasn't 100%. You look like a dick if you...
