BSPT pipe taps for kawasaki 1/8” and 1/4” British Standard Pipe Thread vs National Pipe Taper

just take number off bearing.. ebay, amazon can get it just about anywhere

The novis are mikuni sbns with fancy boosters.. and a few nice anodized parts.

Maybe a long shot but what about dragging a 6’ wide piece of pipe along the bottom like a water ski tow rope. drive boat in a grid until it snags on something. Put a heavy bungee section in line to absorb shock when it catches on something. Cheap to do..

I was surprised to see the WFs even happen this year. Insurance costs are probably triple this year. This sucks SCREW China!

The whole event was scaled back this year due to China virus. They were trying to keep continuity of the event for next year. I wouldn’t expect much at all this year for racing.

I use Lubrimatic fogging oil available at Walmart of all places. Its the most expensive item in the whole store I think (joke). I have sprayed it on rusty tools and it will dissolve light corrosion. Spray in spark plug hole and down carbs then crank engine over to coat crank bearings and piston...

When a 2 stroke sits with any amount of moisture in it corrosion attacks any bare metal. Most common internal problem areas are wrist pin bearings and piston rings. When the rings sit stationary they will put a rust ring in the cylinder wall. The wrist pin bearings will pit and usually fail in...

Milo my wife’s wiener dog who gets mad if you don’t let him ride.

make sure you are using SAE hose barbs vs metric. Note all the kawi stuff is metric so sometimes the hose fits sloppy. IE 6mm hose barb is .236 vs 1/4” .250. So the 1/4” line will blow off a 6mm hose barb. I use 7mm hose barbs with 1/4” silicone hose. The silicone hose stretches over nicely and...

Why those are the worst! They strip so easy. Use oetikers, they keep constant spring tension on connection. They never fail ever..

Amazon for tees and oetiker clamps. EBAY for Japanese bullet connectors (green ones)

Awesome Thanks!

I have been racing with a SE ignition on a dasa 900 power valved sxr for a quite a few years now. It has been flawless! Wish I would have saw this post sooner. That would have been great to swap in to my ski. Probably would put whole thing in museum after.. haha

Coolest post for 2020, I wonder why more of these were never produced?

My wife once said you gotta kill them with kindness.. I said screw that I’m not that guy! But she is usually right about dealing with people. Its amazing how much poop people will tolerate once they decide they kinda like you. Noise, borrowing tools, brat kids etc etc. Whatever you do.. don’t...

The problem is it only takes this one guy with time on his hands to establish a large enough group to ban skis on that lake. Once that happens getting the area opened back up is a big PIA. I am part of many different groups that work on these issues. It is a real challenge to open closed areas...

Hand the fat bastard some pie it will shut them both up.. I’m tellin ya it works [emoji3] 4 bucks!

Where are you located? I have a winter build project that turned out really nice. Owner backed out due to build cost so now I’ll probably need to sell. It is a Pro level ski. Send me PM for details Larry

If its a grumpy lady stop at costco and buy her a chocolate cake or fresh pie. They are like 4 bucks! Then knock on door and say hi I brought ya some pie.. Problem solved! Don’t laugh.. My neighbor was pissed at me one day.. The pie worked! She said you DON’T need to bring peace offering...
