    Issues painting with appliance epoxy

    I sprayed mine with gel coat. Buddy sprayed his with auto paint. The paint grabs the trailer bunks like hot glue. It's unbelievable how tacky it grabs. The gelcoat is hands down holding up better. And if your using an epoxy paint (2part mix?) I don't see why people wouldnt go with gelcoat...

    701 won't start

    Try making the plug gap a little smaller. If you have strong blue spark outside the engine, I find it hard to believe it's getting blown out by compression but it's a possibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This melt down just might have me stumped..

    Your def rich. Your plugs will probably never color at that setting. At least not on the outside rim at the bottom of the threads. Whatever color you would get is washed off by raw fuel. If bet money if you looked down the plug holes, the tips of your pistons are wet. It's exactly like mine...

    Where's the power from?

    Well ended up adding a 9/15 and while there is definitely a difference, the major difference is from the motor/porting. That's the thing I do t have done and bonsy17's ski is night and day different than mine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pump Issues Trouble Shoot

    Flip it over, or lift the back end, set it on some Horses, either way, take ride plate off. Pull cooling lines if they are in your way, undo cap that holds steering cable and take all the clips and washers off. Pull out cable. Replace in order of taking apart. Pay attention to the connector that...

    Psi pipe vs b pipe

    I've hear about them Falling apart but I beat the piss out of my square for the last two years and who knows how long the previous owner did as well and I haven't touched that pipe once. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Psi pipe vs b pipe

    I want to hear from people who have run both and can say what's better. Not the " just get a b pipe" crew. I've heard they hit almost the same, motor for motor with same mods. Btw, it's the psi pipe that goes over the top of the motor. Thanks for the input Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Super Jet Case Cooling?

    If you wanted the coldest air you can get, quickest and easiest I think would be to run a small radiator type cooling exchanger right above the carbs and plumb lines and a small pump to a box holding a block of dry ice and circulate a closed loop of coolant through the circuit. Biggest obstacle...

    Super Jet Case Cooling?

    Skidoo actually did cooled cases on there line of 800's. It was scraped after a year because the cooling caused too much of a difference in temp between the bearings and case clearances. That coupled with guys not knowing how to warm up a sled the right way, resulted it many many blown cranks...

    What to sacrifice when impeller is stuck

    I know exactly what sand does to a stainless prop. I run mud motors for duck hunting and they run is the sand full time. I recognized it right away when I took it out of the box. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What to sacrifice when impeller is stuck

    I got it off and after looking at it, it would never have come off without snapping the shaft or ruining the threads. The first 5 threads were galled completely ruined and locked tight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What to sacrifice when impeller is stuck

    Does this look right? About a 1/16 gap on all sides. What's a new 9/15 run for outer edge to outer edge diameter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What to sacrifice when impeller is stuck

    It's soaked in on blaster now. I honestly believe it's galled and toast but will give it one more try. Also, as recommendation from a pipe fitter buddy that frequently deals and uses stainless equipment, nuts and bolts and such, said heat only makes it worse. Plus, once galling starts, it's shot...
