Looks really really nice! How much difference did you notice in the balance & handling compared to the stock hood?

I know that GPR! That's Andy's old ski isn't it? You've got yourself one of the cleanest & most meticulously built GPR's I've ever seen. Very nice!

Yeah, their kit console is a great tool. Their site got hacked a couple years back & they just recently got the console back up. All their stuff is top notch. I'll warn you though, if you start having them customize designs instead of going with an off-the-shelf package, the design cost can add...

Exotic signs has a 50th anniversary package for the SN. Here's the link for their "kit console". Just choose Gen1 SJ & go to kit 21. http://www.exoticsigns.com/flash/kitconsole/default.aspx?menucolor=00FF00&linkFocus=Btn12/ Here's the graphics they just did for me. It's basically the OEM...

Correct me if this is wrong...with an ADA head I want the E plug because it's longer, & I should go to the 8's, which I think means it's one step cooler than the stock plugs. Also, what does the "r" mean?

Yep, that's how the auto models work, at least the Rule pumps. They turn on every 2-1/2 minutes & will only continue running if it senses resistance on the impeller, otherwise it shuts back off. There's no float switch in them. The only other difference is the auto pumps have a stainless screen...

Another defector. Welcome to the party Jorge!

I'm putting a fuse on each brown wire from the pumps, then splicing them to a single wire that will run forward to connect to the switch wire. The black wires will be spliced to a single wire that will ground to the bolt hole for the coupler cover. The splices will be soldered instead of using...

I'm in the middle of this project myself. I debated back & forth a few times whether to epoxy the pumps or use the Blowsion bracket. Ended up buying the bracket...mainly because this is my first SJ build & didn't want to screw up the placement & give myself a clearance issue later in the...

For schitzengiggles I looked up the specs on my 2011 & it's listed at 291(15# less than the '12) dry weight as well. Guess I can skip dieting now. Maybe Yamaha had some old lead based paint lying around & decided to save a few bucks on the last year production. Just in case, tell your buddy to...

I doubt it. Yamaha is pretty proud of the nanoX hulls, so I'm sure there'd be a big sticker on the ski if it was. Also, I checked their site & it's not listed under hull specs like they do with the runabouts. It's just a different type of SMC, so I'd bet even someone who knows about those type...

This I know. I'm interested to know if there's a noticeable improvement in performance from removing the airflow restriction.

Is there much benefit in removing the choke plates? Just wondering because I'm removing the knob & cable to use the hole for a bilge fitting & was thinking about also removing the choke assembly from the carbs. Also, if I remove the choke plates & shaft, should I fill the holes? Sorry for the...

I need to order some from Mcmaster but don't have the ski here to measure. If anyone could tell me the size it'd be a great help. BTW, anyone know what's up with them? I was gonna call them direct but when I tried to pull up their site for the ph # it was down. I've noticed lots of their stuff...

Teflon tape or silicone is what you'll want to use. I usually use 1211 on water fittings.

That's just from what wammer told me. I returned them before pulling the manifold, so I really couldn't tell you why he says they don't fit right.

Quick update...I was at Wamilton's last week dropping of my FPP maniofold & head pipe for him to port match & asked about reed spacers. He recommended having him port the intake instead of using a spacer & told me the porting helps even out pressure across the reeds, so they last longer in...

Did a search & didn't find much. I know R&D makes a spacer but just wondering if anyone has other suggestions & why? I've already done the basic handling mods & FA's. Next week I wanted to pull it down to install ADA head/35cc domes, MSD enhancer, VF3's & mod pipe & was thinking about doing...

I'm 6'2"/240 & use their XXL. It's a little big without a vest underneath because I wanted a little extra room to fit over the bulky front padding on my Jetpilot vest. At 6'6"/190 you're probably a lot thinner than me, so an XL might be fine. Also have a question for you other guys who use...

Yeah, I'm very happy with the guy I use now. He aint cheap, but everything he's done for me has come out great. On the bright side, my bad experience with those shops ended up with me aquiring a new skill. After some research, some trial & error, a bit of practice & a few mistakes, I ended up...
