Bumping a really informative thread. Having major elbow issues and now I have some direction on resolving them.

Reading this thread is like looking down the rabbit hole to me. Interesting though. I have to say that IF I rode my ski under the influence, I'd be too paranoid to ever mention it on a public forum. Big brother is watchin!!!!

Great conditions! Cool vid.

Man, everything behind your flywheel cover looks rough. What bindix did you order? Factory Yamaha or eBay special? I would take your time, listen to the suggestions. Do a pressure test make sure you didn't blow a crank seal. It's great that you've been able to ride this long without...

With your mention about the ground, I might suspect the CDI. Or maybe you have a poor ground connection in general, causing the rough running. The running away thing doesn't add up tho. Perhaps you have two separate issues. That could be a in a few places, intake, carb bodies, etc.

Swinging for the fence here, but... bent driveshaft???

LOL I swear when people post 3 times in a row in the middle of the night/morning all emo like that, all I see is a drunk guy on his couch with a laptop... "EFF you man! You don't know me....!" But dude, seriously, if you can just chill out for a second and (normally I say have a drink...

I've been asking this question to the first time flippers (lol), how many attempts did it take you to finally nose one in? Any 'ah ha!' moments along the way. I'm going to be starting my own foray into flippy land soon and I like to have an idea what to expect.

Cool pics, looks like you were having a blast! I'd put a foot strap in the back of that FX asap and do the wide tray this winter, but thats just me! ;) I lived in Kenosha for almost a year, about 300 yards from the water (I could see the water crashing from my front door.) Those rocks (they're...

Yeah I wouldn't shave them too much, thats where most of your strength comes from. Although if I were to do it with the tools I have, i'd use a grinder with a flap wheel to do heavy cutting and then smooth it out on a belt sander.

So... Maybe I missed this, but..... What's the problem? Are you just mad because your buddy has more power with 38's so there fore it must be tuning? This statement reeks of someone who doesn't want to put in the time to learn.

Nice site. Definitely doing a great job of marketing the benefits of what could be considered 'commodity' items.

Cool video, that little sail boat ripping along was kinda funny too.

MAybe I missed it, and its been asked, but if you have a OEM impeller, a nice 9/15 Hooker impeller for $230 would make an instant difference to your low end. No touchy motor either!

4mm of shims on a pump sounds like way too much to me. I guess its possible that something is wonky on yours but that doesn't sound right. What motor mounts are you using? Perhaps they are couch mounts? Is the midshaft bolted in?

I can't comment on the factory impeller working, but x2 on the spacer, or have your impeller trimmed back. I had a buddy put two different hooker impellers on his lathe and shaved off a little over 1/16th of an inch to keep the impeller from interfering with the hub of the stator. If it was...

Another member used plastic 'beer pong' balls from ebay. I want to say it takes about 900 ping pong balls to fill a SJ. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1152-BEER-PING-PONG-BALLS-BEER-PONG-WASHABLE-8-GROSS-NEW-/350782702573?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51ac4743ed...

Awesome flick... Dig the jams.

Congrats! Living the dream!

I've never wanted to sell someone a vowel more in my life than when I read this.
