Smoke them with the flares? Not a bad idea. Safer for me.

I'm having a mole problem in my vegetable garden right now. This did cross my mind. I'm leaning more towards mixing bleach and acid to make chlorine gas and letting fill the holes. Seems mildly safer, mostly for the plants.

I think that's my biggest concern I'm not too worried about the tabs. I can make them as strong as I need. The tank on the other hand might get cracks in the walls. There will definitely be some flopping. I was thinking about having it on turf on the bottom of the tank, but would still need...

Don't put it in your SJ. Adding more oil means less fuel in the ratio. You run the risk of running lean. Just put it in the jeep. I dump all my old gas in my truck when I have a nearly full tank.

I just got a new motor that will use a laydown pipe instead of the b-pipe, so I'm fitting everything in my hull and trying to figure out where to place the mounts for the straps for the fuel tank, pipe, etc. I started thinking, since I made an aluminum fuel tank, what's wrong with welding some...

Keep you idle slightly rich, where you get good throttle response and the idle low enough that it can still idle on its own, but will load up fuel in the bottom end. I have one ski without a lanyard and one with. They both will die after 10 seconds of idle. The one without the lanyard will idle...

That's what I was looking for, but it's also wrong. It's just bolt placement, which is easy to figure out, but a pain in the ass when you put the long bolt in where it says and after you're done with all the bolts, there's one sticking out the other side.

Building my second motor in two weeks. This manual and the live document that I can’t find right now have the bed plate bolts in the wrong spots. Port has four bolts. The short is mid/rear and the long bolt is rear. Starboard side has three bolts, all 70mm.

Play it safe. That's tight squish. Either use the stock head or thicker base gasket. If you can't get a gasket by the weekend, buy some gasket paper and cut your own. That would probably be the easiest way to get the thicker base gasket. It's very likely that motor will blow if you run as is.

I got a chance to compare a treated and untreated bearing side by side. With grease removed, there seems to be a slight difference in rolling resistance (better). It's definitely a treatment rather than coating. There's no buildup on the bearing. I can't say much about wear. Maybe I'll update in...

I was trying to figure out where that was. I was thinking closer to Burlington. I was way off!! Before you even mentioned Avril, that's what I was thinking. Every time I go by Napanee she's the first thing that comes to mind because that's the only thing I know about the town. When I drive to...

That area should be watertight. With your flywheel being that rusty, there's a very good chance something on the stator is bad. When you put it back together, replace the o-ring on the starter, use a new cover gasket and make sure the mating surface is clean. Use a razor blade to scrape the junk...

I own a lot of special tools, but I've never had a shart holder.

You should be able to get a shaft/plate/bushings kit. Do that and it's a headache avoided.

If it has play, replace the shaft. If it isn't leaking air yet, it will soon. It's a problem you can stop before it happens when you're out on the water. They aren't hard to change out and it isn't terribly expensive.

Sorry Mark, that came off more rude than I was intending. I'll most likely be going to JM for the rest of the parts, but it makes more sense to get the discounted bearings from the source.

That sounds great! I'm in Canada. It makes no sense to have a set of bearings shipped here, then ship them back over the border to you. Lets move this to the DM's for next steps. Since I have a brand new midshaft assembly waiting to be installed, I'll be able to do a comparison on feel.

@fx1mark I know JM can get them. I recently got a whole midshaft setup for my other ski from him. I'm asking DylanS. Read his last post.

Can you get bearings for a midshaft? Looks like I'm going to have to rebuild mine.
