In the "Affordable Power" thread, Waxhead mentioned reverse jetting, I've seen it mentioned here before as well. I'd like to hear more on the subject. What advantage does this have? Can anyone elaborate on how to switch over a carb from standard to revese? If you are running 80 pilot...

I saw it on my phone yesterday (I think) and just remembered about it and wanted to check it out on the computer, but now I can't find it. I know I'm not imagining things. Was it posted in the wrong spot and now I can't find it? I swear I've looked through all the forums.

Not sure WTF I did wrong here, but I put pump bearings in this pump and now the cone won't fit. The recess from the end of the housing to the bearing is about .26" and the pump cone depth where the o-ring is is about .38" (going by memory). I grabbed a different pump cone because this was...

While battery shopping, I started to wonder about something: A lot of you are running the ETX9 with no problems, even with TL. The specs for the ETX9 are 120cca and 8ah. Why when someone goes to a LiFePO4 battery like the Shorai or Ballistic do they go for a much higher rated battery...

Looking for o-ring ID and thickness for the Power Factor Pipe. I assume Viton (400*F) or Silicone (425*F) would be fine. I took measurements off the pipe, but left them at home. Looking to place a McMaster order today.

I had never ran across this on here so I thought to pass this on in case anyone was looking to trim some weight and might have some bed plates sitting around. I noticed the hole design on the 650/750 bed plates are different so I weighed them up. 650 and 750sx looked the same, but I...

Ok, so I purchased a used PFP with resonator, and I hate loud skis, so I'm out to build myself a waterbox. Sure you say "why don't you just buy one, they are $225 +shipping"....and the answer to that would be; I'm cheap and believe I can build one for MUCH less, like ~$75. Here's my parts...

Short story long: I needed some pump and mid-housing rebuild kits, called AJS and asked about the supplier of the bearings. They told me that they were WSM kits, right there I suspected Chinese bearings, but the lady at AJS didn't know for sure and she said to call WSM, so I did. I gave them the...

Looking for an economical glue for bonding the top deck to the bottom deck. The most economical for me, would be thickened epoxy. I have West 403 Microfibers and Cabosil that would fit the bill, but is this a bad idea? I can't say I've seen anyone use this to bond their decks. I also have on...

Just curious, I'm not a painter, but can/will an epoxy primer self level cracking gel coat? Do I need to lightly sand each crack, or sand the gel coat all the way off?

Alright, so I have what I thought was a Blackjack 44 sitting here and what I thought are a pair of aftermarket 46s in front of me. The bottom of the Blackjack is 45.12mm and look to have the factory finish. The machining where the butterfly is is a little bit narrower and is pretty much true...

Details about engine near bottom of post. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/108007-145mm-Mag-Pump-MSD-Total-Loss-Novi-Tech-PJS-850-VForce-3-R-amp-D Basically, I really need to come up with something. I was planning to send my engine off to Art, have him rebuild my crank, port and bore my cyl to...

The first is a Shred Ready Standard Full Face. $109.95 Click Me The second is a Madcap Fullface. $159.99 Click Me The last one is Sweet Helmets Fullface Rocker. $399.00 Click Me Any other options out there? That last one is out of my price range, I just posted it...

First off, this idea would be implemented on an SXR, and I don't believe any of the production adjustable foothold systems out there will work on the SXR because of the curved back end and they utilize an outer bracket that sits flush against the hull, plus I'm a cheap a$$. Secondly, I'm not...

I know so many of the new hulls have nice wide rails and some people have gone as far as grafting wide rails onto thier skis. I was brainstorming my SXR build. The SXR already has wide rails in the rear, about 2.5", but up front, where the front buldges out, the rails are only 1.5". Would I...

Does anyone have any real insight on strength of material, quantities of material needed, and what kind of weights comparing some typical products we would use such as 1708, 5.7oz carbon (twill or not), 6oz s-glass and 6oz e-glass, maybe some 5oz kevlar too? (all things available at Us...

So, I wasn't planning on rebuilding this thing until next year, but I blew my engine up and since that was out, I pulled my tank, then pulled the waterbox and foam and cleaned and dried the engine bay....then I found water coming from under the tray and decided I would go ahead and cut it apart...

Looking for options/opinions here. I toasted my crank yesterday. It might have started out as a cold seizure and that took out the rod bearing, or maybe the rod bearing just started coming apart, not really sure, but it's toast none the less. I'm already at 83mm, so that means either re-sleeve...

By now you've probably heard about the unfortunate loss Tanner Thomas recently had. Up here in the NW, we are trying to put another ski together for him. While we don't expect to collect enough to build him another $13k ski, we are hoping to at least get him a running ski with a few of the parts...

I got the correct (so I thought) cable adapter from X-Metal and found some issues: For one, my cable wouldn't even come close to fitting through the hole. I had to file and drill out the hole to finally get the cable through. I wasn't sure what the adapter was for until I realized that the...
