I was out last Friday night surf fishing at marker 103. We almost couldnt make it out because the waves were too big at the second sand bar... They were nearly flipping my 2 person ocean kayak vertically backwards. I cannot imagine hitting them with a ski... I need to get better at riding haha

Ya it would probably be a great learning experience for me. I really hate being out of town for school though. Having class until 6pm on Fridays is rough for wanting to do weekend trips.

Just wanted to let people know ---- If you have any specific questions about the area I may be able to help. While not in Austin for college, I live in Aransas Pass pretty close to the ferries going into Port A. I have a few friends that went to highschool there as well as my girlfriend worked...

http://youtu.be/ANB8P1t5uus There's the link for the spark test I just did.... It was difficult filming/starting/stopping, so hopefully the video does some justice... I feel like the spark is cutting out, but it's possibly jumping behind the tester --- bad camera angle on my part. What...

I tried testing the spark with the engine running.. It is way too sunny outside to see anything, so I decided to crack open the ebox. It turns out that I do have an MSD enhancer (PN 4253)... All of the connections to it seemed solid.. I did find that the pink wire(temp sensor I believe)...

I am going to have to retest the spark during the bog tomorrow.. Or maybe even later on in the weekend so I have some help with me.... The spark testing tool I bought was a cheaper version from o'reillys that kept on springing apart and flying off when I gave the motor gas. Well I decided to...

I have been running it on the trailer without the hood on.. The problem is immediate too. Doesn't take time to loose air or something like that. Spark has been checked on plugs and with an inline tester (plugs into boot, then clips on top of spark plug) . They seem strong.

..... I hope I did not just figure out what is wrong...... So if I set up this proportion --> 1/40 = x/640 --> (everything in ounces i.e. 128 ounces in 1 gallon * 5 = 640 ounces in 5 gallons) that means 640*1 = 40*x therefore x = 16 ounces... If I was using approximately 2/3 of a...

Swap: After the engine pull/reinstall, it did run. I had it going for a couple minutes on the trailer before I hauled it up to school with me. When it bogs, it is more of a buuawwwwww kind of thing. I did not think it was temp sensor related because it does this as soon as you start it...

Well i bought one of those testers. I cranked it over and both plugs jumped just under the 20 mark... I did not run it with the tester on... Should I try to get it to the point where it bogs and see if there is the same spark? If the electrical system is good, I cannot understand why my...

So I cleaned the carb out again. Needle/seat were okay. One of the jets had a small amount of debris in it, but nothing clogged up. Filter was good etc... I looked over my engine pull pictures of the electrical box. It appears that I do not have a stock CDI. It is red, but without any...

Well I tried completely fresh gas. Still bogging out. I pulled my plugs the last two times I have tried to start it and they were both equally wet with gas. Plug wires bad? I would test them, but I am 200 miles from home with limited hand tools. I am going to tear the carb down again and...

They both had a blue spark. Whats the next step? Thanks guys,

I just put in some BR8HS's.. It sounded like she ran better in general, but it still bogged out around half throttle. I tried checking the spark color, but it was almost too bright to see any spark. I know i saw a little blue spark on the rear cylinder. I am not sure if I saw mush of...

Well here it goes... My recent purchase has turned out to be all sorts of problems... First it was the cracks in the bottom from a previous owners attempt at reinforcement, and now a bogging issue after pulling the motor and hauling it 200 miles to college. This was my first engine pull on a...

He sent me a picture today.. I may go pull the trigger on it tomorrow after I put a battery in it and hear her run. Is there anything I should look out for in a 760 to 701 conversion? He said he took the 701 from a raider. Thanks, mace

Also, the guy said he'd take 500 for it.. But my father knows he got the hull for free and the motor for 250.. So I might offer him 350 or 400 for it.. Is it worth the time? Thanks,

I had someone offer me a WB2 with a 701 recently installed. He said the motor ran in another ski before he did the swap a few months ago. He hooked everything up and never went to go get a new battery --- never even started it. What we be a reasonable price for this? Is the 701 going to...

Haha I think all of the positive chick dig factor is lost with the super-cool purple paint.. The first thing the g/f said was "you bought a girl ski!" ..... it's getting painted next time i feel like tearing it down hah. Would kevlar be better than using the 17oz biaxal? My older brother...

Well I took some grinding discs to her this morning... Most of the cracks up front have gone away to a finish that matches the sides of the hull. I am assuming I am down to the original material even though I never found a direct color change or other sign. I did find some red tinted fibers...
