    What holds the choke plunger out when you pull it?

    The choke works great on my ski. It always fires right up with it. But last year I could pull it out and it would stay at full choke or half till I pushed it back in. Thats why I stayed with it this year... But ill put a primer in it if it wont stay out

    What holds the choke plunger out when you pull it?

    Im putting everything back together after a turf job and I reinstalled the choke. But when I pull it out and let go, it goes right back in. Is there something to adjust or am I doing something wrong?

    Caulking Turf Seems?

    I was thinking just black silicone. basically to taper the edge so water, feet, whatever has less of an edge to catch on. Since 5200 is permanent wouldnt that be shooting myself in the foot when I need to returf?

    Caulking Turf Seems?

    I was thinking of running a bead of black caulk around my tray where the turf edges meet. Anyone else done this? Seems like it would keep sand out and maybe keep the edges down. Also up in the footholds where the seems are, if they were caulked maybe they wouldnt catch the shoes and peel...

    Engine Issues

    I was 99% sure it was a crank seal. I really was planning on doing a motor build next winter, because I refoamed and installed foothold this winter. So now that ive opened another can of worms what can I do to the engine? I want to keep it reliable and easy to start and not have to adjust the...

    Engine Issues

    So I pulled my motor out of my 2000 RN to put the Lightweight Couplers on and to send my Flywheel away to be lightened. I never expected to see this. Is this a bad crank seal? If I wouldnt have pulled the cover to get the stator what would have happened???

    Removing the green Yamaha sealant??

    So now that all my foam is out, should I remove the factory green sealant and replace it with 5200? Also in the bond line should I 5200 that and glass over it or just 5200 it? This is a RN.

    Lowering Exhaust Tube

    Im in the defoam process. I want to cut a new hole in the bulkhead and reinstall the exhaust tube. My thought was to lower it as much as I can and if thats not enough then I will cut out my foothold. Yes i am mounting them forward a decent amount.

    My Foothold Drama

    im thinking i could put that pink foam board in the bottom then maybe pour some 2 part over it to lock it in and give the bottom of the tray a nice flat surface. Then use 2 part in the sides so the foothold will be very sturdy. I might as well run drains.

    My Foothold Drama

    My Foothold Drama

    Ok so i started the cutting today and everything went well until i did the right side. After I cut the right side and popped out the glass I notice it looked like the foam had pulled away from the top and outside. Almost like its shrank about 1" from the top and outside only. I took pictures...
