With no more than 10 hours on the rebuilt top end of my ported 718, I guess the pistons decided they had had enough... lol I was out riding, after bumping up the pilot jets, not doing anything crazy and the motor started to stumble and then died entirely. Thankfully, a wakeboarding boat came by...

hey, After making a jetting change to my carbs this morning and double checking the synchronization, I noticed something really odd. While the carbs are perfectly synced with the butterfly valves closed, once I start to open up the throttle they are clearly out of synch. Here is a shot of what...

Hey yaw, Has anyone in Maryland been able to successfully and legitimately register an aftermarket hull? If so did you register it as a home built vessel? I am in the process of trying to register my new Rickter XFR as a home built vessel and the DNR is making me a little nervous. Apparently...

Hey, Who do yaw recommend for engine builders/dealers, preferably on the east coast? I'm looking at purchasing my first real motor for my new Carbon XFR. My top choices right now are the TPE 1105 and ET 1107 but I am certainly willing to consider others especially if they are in stock.

Hey yaw, This is going to be my first aftermarket build so I figured I would do my best to document it. It's been quite the adventure getting here. Between global pandemics, mass riots and several panick attacks, I wasnt sure she would ever make it to me. But I'm happy to report she has...

Hey, For any of you battery experts out there, I know people try to seal up their lithium batteries from the outside but I have been thinking about an alternative to that and was hopping I could get some input. Why not drill a small hole in the external case and either completely fill the...

Hey, Can someone post a picture of what the internals of the MSD Total Loss Ignition looks like? I am curious if it would be possible to use potting compound to waterproof some or all of the electronics that are inside. I know there are some sort of switches in there that you use to set your...

How do the full RRP hood latch mechanisms compare to the OEM Yamaha latches? Is the RRP hood latch more reliable than the OEM latches? Has anyone had any problems with the RRP latch mechanism?

Hey yaw, I'm trying to decide on what trim setup I want to go with on my Carbon XFR build and I have heard the P&P Raptor trim is as good as it gets. I havent been able to find a whole lot of detailed info on them so far and was hoping some of yaw could help. What makes them so much better...

Hey yaw, I have my first AM hull on order, a Rickter Carbon XFR, and have been wondering about something. In the event of a worse case scenario, and your Rickter is flooded, will it still somewhat float on its own or will it sink entirely?

Hey, For those of you without pickup trucks, how do yaw go about transporting your beach carts? Do you disassemble it every time or has anyone came up with some creative storage solutions. Just got a Jet Lift cart and i need a good way to transport it in my jeep.

Hey yaw, I am getting ready to pull the trigger on purchasing a Rickter XFR hull and am having some trouble deciding on which layup to go with. I would love to go with a full Carbon layup but am having a difficult time justifying the additional cost. From what I have been able to gather the...

So I have been reading up on the XFR, as it is on my short list for hulls. I'm curious how an XFR's flatwater freestyle capability is any different than an XFS? My understanding is the hulls are identical with the short plate and sponsons removed from the XFR and the only difference is the...

Hey yaw, I’m working on finishing up the last of my research before I start ordering parts for my winter motor build. This will be my first real 2 stroke motor build, but I have built and tuned numerous other high-performance motors over the years. My plan right now is to build a big bore...

Hey, This might seem like a silly question, but do the 701 style crankshafts need to be balanced, like a 4 stroke crank, when upgrading/rebuilding? I'm still learning when it comes to these 2 stroke motors but I have plenty of experience with 4 strokes. I ask because I am looking to do a big...

Hey yaw, Does anyone know what the primary and secondary resistance values should be for the MSD improved ignition coil?

Hey yaw, I just received my new Thrust Ez-Flow Pro Trim system today and noticed the reduction nozzle doesn't have any fittings for the stock SJ bailer system. I would really like to keep this feature and was wondering if anyone out there has found a good way to add the necessary fittings to...

Hey yaw, How and where are people mounting Handle Pole Shock Pads, on a stock RN Superjet hood? There doesn't appear to be much realestate to locate a shock pad on the hood, especially with the storage compartment in the way.

Hey yaw, I just finished rebuilding my Mikuni 38's and am in the process of dialing them in. I want to get a set of the T handle high and low speed jet adjustment screws and I am looking for some recommendations on which ones to go with. I know the general rule is to stick with OEM Mikuni...
