I've had a helmet for a while and didn't wear it cause "I'm not doing anything to warrant a helmet..." at least thats what I told myself. I wore it for the first time last Sunday, but only for half the day. I didn't care for it because I couldn't hear as well, but nevermind that. I will wear it...

I would point you towards Melmacks build. He went in a direction that leans towards your budget. Instead of doing a ton of glass work and buying a high dollar motor, he tried to extract as much as possible from the 1 cyl, and argued that his power to weight ratio is very similar to a reinforced...

This is a long shot, but make sure the feed line and return line arn't swapped. My buddy had this happen and filled the cylinders with gas. After that would be needle and seat, remove flame arrestor and look down carb while cranking. See if you have a dribbler, replace needle and seat on...

Pretty intresting... even w/o the ski.

It was in DFW, don't know who cosander is though. It is a Yamaha. Unless someone suggests something else i'll try the 115. The main is a 74.5, which seems low, but i'm not going to question it until I ride it. Thanks for the help waternut.

Got a 650 with head, coffman pipe, possibly A/M impeller. Just bought ski, cleaning carb, lost pilot jet. I looked and looked (before I lost it) and could not find a size. Any suggestions?

I may or may not have been using a hammer and a appropriately sized pipe to install my bearings. :theyareontome: *edit* Got my new bearings in today, thanks Chris! So when you say 'don't push on the wrong spot', what is the correct spot?

Yeah, i'd like a FX1 thats almost as wide as a SJ, wider tray and 144 pump. So either shorten a SJ to FX1 length/ etc.... or make a FX1 wider, pump etc. Move the pole forward a little.

That google book article is cool. 267lbs... huh... how bout that.

Might try the FX1 section or Flatwater Freestyle. The impeller on my last FX1 was a 17/23, not sure if it was a Solas. I found that it was not useful for low end anything. It had great top end though, it could almost keep up with my wifes B1. I don't know what a good pitch would be or whats...

I like that one of the selling points is : Handy Really? LOL....

Midshaft? I have no idea. Its the one that came with the ski when I bought it from Brett. I bought a spare from Motoman96 because I know they're hard to come by, especially when you strip the splines out. And given my 'custom' driveshaft I figured being prepared is the best plan. No idea how old...

I'm not a "run it til' it breaks" kind of person LOL... just figured i'd throw that out there. I have not, I suspected that something has been amiss for awhile, but couldn't put my finger on it. I was riding Sunday and I heard a beautiful tune from a place that it shouldn't come from. It...

I have a 144 pump with fairly fresh bearings but i'm positive that my alignment is off. Getting a whirring sound from my pump area while riding. A local rider who's kind of my go to guy said its likely a bearing, could be one of the pump bearings, could be midshaft. Is it real obvious which...

This is what I use.

Very cool video. We have a 1 year old daughter who is tougher (see: meaner) than most of the kids in her school and we're having a boy in December. I hope he's as outgoing and fearless (to a point) as yours. Congrats! Looks like your doing a good job raising your kids.

^^^ This....

Leave it to an expert to call you out! LOL... jk...

Amazing... Thanks to Redbull for sponsoring and supporting talented indviduals and bringing their skils to to the world. On my best day i'll never have 1/10th of the skill that the least skilled person on that video has.
