    Laying turf-How clean is clean enough?

    This is what I do. If you were to use acetone on the turf, make sure you let it air dry enough to fully evaporate before you lay glue.

    Other Virus Nonsense

    I said literally the exact same thing to my friends and family a few weeks ago. They all thought I was crazy. It's funny how quickly they forget.

    First time super jet purchase

    Just to add to everything else, there's nothing wrong with '90-'93 650 squares. A 701 swaps in just as easily. Only real difference between the 650 squares and the 701 square is the midshaft and midshaft bearing carrier.

    Cooling Line Material and Clamps

    I personally don't. Haven't really seen a need to unless you just insist on starting and running your ski in super shallow water. I know the guys with laydown pipes will usually run filters on the water going to the pipes to keep the small spray orifices from clogging up. Just know, for...

    Cost of building a ski

    Since Quinc didn't TOTAL it up, I did the work for people like me wanting to know. Total for his list was $3706.85

    Cooling Line Material and Clamps

    I've used high quality flexible air hose (like Flexzilla) forever with no issues.

    Dust management for the hobbiest

    Hers my current "dust collection" setup for when it's raining and I can't work directly outside. I still use the shop vac on my table saw, chop saw, router table, sander, etc. Even when I'm outside. I will say the new sander I got is awesome. Built in dust collection port (not "self...

    Dust management for the hobbiest

    Sounds like my same hobbyist experience. I wear a North 7700 half mask with HEPA cartridges when making any dust. I also use my Rigid shop vac with an Onieda Dust Deputy cyclone separator. I've gotten sick of having a dusty garage, especially with a two year old running around and another on...

    You need to find or have made some "no fear" stickers for that bad boy.

    Cold fusion midshaft housing - "cold welding" ?

    I didn't mean your driveline was misaligned. Two strokes vibrate by nature. With flexy motor mounts and an idling big bore two stroke, you're going to see some vibration regardless of alignment.

    Cold fusion midshaft housing - "cold welding" ?

    To me that just looks like the overlapped elastomer is starting to separate from the housing due to vibration. I wouldn't be concerned with what you are seeing. If it continues to grow and delaminate from the actual bore of the housing, that's when I would start to worry.

    Smoofers' Super Chicken Build (Mostly Complete)

    So far it has held up really well. However that’s not saying much since the ski is stored inside and covered.

    Want to Buy Fx1 long exhaust hose

    The part numbers are similar, FX1-67555-00-00 is the FX-1, EW2-67555-00-00 is a SN. If you want the hose, I'd do $65 shipped or make me an offer.

    Want to Buy Fx1 long exhaust hose

    I have a SN hose, don't know if it's the same as an FX1 though.

    How to clean factory pipe chamber?

    At this point I'm pretty sure the paint on the pipe is damaged. Mine was the same way. They're permanent at this point until you either blast and recoat or polish and clear.

    Impeller stuck against wear ring

    You might find a decent condition used pump on this site and see what it would cost to have it shipped from the US to Greece. You might still save money over trying to source one locally.

    Impeller stuck against wear ring

    Totally agree. Split the wear ring to remove it. To my knowledge the OEM stainless wear rings (what you have) are not repairable and must be replaced. The prop is not worth refurbishing, given there are so many better stainless options.

    Smoofers' Super Chicken Build (Mostly Complete)

    The plug wires fit snugly into a bore in the coil, which has a spike at the base of the bore that stabs the copper core of the plug wire. The plug wires are epoxied into that bore. To replace, you just need to work the plug wire around to break or loosen the epoxy until you can get the old...
