    Super Jet 40:1 or 50:1

    I believe I've read reports that the most power is made at below 32:1 by quite a bit, but the gas/oil ratio through the carb jet is right on. Basically the more oil you add the less gas will go trough, leaning it out. I've always broke in my engines with a few heat cycles and ten applying full...

    Super Jet Tripple Cooling

    Rode sleds with a guy that was riding (Polaris) when his steering stem broke. Only thing that kept him on the trail was the high sides of snow. Scary! Anyhow, I wouldn't worry about cold seizure either. That happens when a motor has a thermostat and it opens and dumps cold coolant into an...

    Super Jet Removing SN hood liner

    It won't melt. It will blister and turn brown and by that time the glue is to the point where the bond is broken and can be Pryed apart Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Super Jet Removing SN hood liner

    I honestly wouldn't even attempt another way. I'm fully confident I could separate a sn hull top and bottom within an hour with this method! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Super Jet Removing SN hood liner

    Took my entire hood liner out in one piece in 15 min with a propane torch. Heat breaks down that green glue's bond. Heat the liner where te glue is underneath it. Keep making passes back and forth over the same area. It will stink and the white liner may turn brown. Work the sides up with a big...

    Attention engineers, curing oven controls.

    I built a temp controller for my powder coat oven. It's a PID temp controller off of eBay. I have it set to ramp to a preset temp, hold that +\- a degree and wait for me to turn it off. It does have features for safe limit, alarms, cool down time after a timer is set, pretty much all the stuff...

    Ford not warranty rear end

    If your diff is hot enough to to cause contacting when it hits cold water, there there's something else to worry about other than dunking it under water.... To solve the water entering down the vent, do like said before and run a longer vent tube. As for the hot rear end, let ford sort that out...

Bought two superjets on a trailer with a buddy a year after that. Now my garage has two superjets, a 650sx, my...

    Will a hull builder discount a hull to help one of our own?

    I considered a Chan and actually messaged ff on Facebook and asked if I could get a hull in two pieces and assemble it myslelf and do what I wanted. They said no due to having their name on it and not wanting a liability of me putting it together and giving their company a bad name in the event...

    the blaster from hell...

    He said he took the head off and the back cylinder was trashed. A compression check would have shown that and maybe it would have sparked a more thorough inspection on everything else. I always ask how the for sale item runs, listen to their excuses and bull poop and then do my comp check and...

    the blaster from hell...

    You can check motor internals 90% by doing a compression check. That there would Have told you the motor is shot at which time you make your deal minus a completely new motor price (because you dont know how bad it actually is, just that there's something wrong) go off that, check inside of pump...

    Freestyle Baby Scream DVX

    Makes me seriously wonder why anyone would buy. 5k+ billet/stroker/bored motor and the best of the carbon hulls if this guy can do this with your run of the mill 701... As said earlier. Very impressive! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    the blaster from hell...

    While it's very unfortunate that this happened to you, this is the reason no matter the conditions you check things over 110% before you buy. Because the seller is going to say bought "as is" and "not my problem". There are shady sellers out there that do this kind of stuff. It's our...

    Can't seem to get the hang of the Superjet!

    Try to put more if your weight over the pole bracket. (Where the pole pivots) and try to keep your weight centered there Also try looking where you want to go instead of at the nose or water right in front of the ski Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
