Anyone reuse OEM carb gaskets on their SXR. Im a big believer in replacing all rings, seals, gaskets after a fair amount of use. I was just looking at my OEM carb gaskets and noticed their in perfect shape except that all the black lamination is worn off of them so their just the bare aluminum...

Finished up my SXR motor rebuild from the crank up. Went out for the break in today and took my plug readings in between few minute sessions and this may be the first time where the plugs were a dark brown and a little moist. Carbs were tuned perfectly and the ski ran great which im stoked...

I've got used fiber gaskets that are in decent shape. Just gonna use them until I order new oned

im fresh out of carb gaskets except used ones. i got the oem ones which are metal with a coating of some sort.... can i strip these to bare metal and use them with a bead of permatex rtv on the both sides coating each side of the gasket or can i use them bare on m sxr manifold and carb? just not...

Any Carb experts.........?

I'm running Mikuni dual 42''s bored over by NOVI. I went to throw a fresh re-build kit in before i get into my season to find that the slave carb due to the lovely ethanol in gas has siezed up the pilot jet. As soon as i put a flat head to it the edges broke right away. I had a spare set of the...

Don't hold me to it but if you got the information from a manual it should give an ohm range not just a specific number.... thats if i remember correct.

I never put anything on the outer seal surface... i always go by manual specs and havent had a problem.... was just thinking of putting a little 1211 around the outer edge of the seals to see how that works.

Putting motors back together i generally use 1211 to seal the case halves and dont use anything around the outer edge on the oil seals and have never had a problem. Does anybody use anything on the outside edge of the oil seals before sealing the case halves together....just curious cuz i always...

I work on tugs for a living and a lot of older tugs, there main engines are OP diesels. They are pretty neat but hard to find parts for now. That would be a badazz concept for a ski though!

For the first few rides just run kawi chem, it's the lightest oil and it works well. After running a few tanks with the kawi chem it should begin to run a little cleaner.

The bendix will move a bit if the cover is not on. Has the motor been re-built or is it bone stock?

Im in Waterford. Did u look at the key way of the fly wheel? Is is back firing? Hows the condition of the bendix?

Im in CT and have any bolt or studs ur looking for, for ur SXR. I got all kinds of parts and experience with SXR's. Where is the ticking sound coming from? What do ur plugs look like after running the motor?

Epoxy based primers are the best for resisting stress cracks in the gel coat and wet sand great with a 1200 or 1500 grit. U can check out my ski on my page on here. i use epoxy based primers only and wet sand the final primer coat for base coating.

I first got hooked on a early 90's Kawi 650. My first purchase was 2000 Ultra 150! I can credit buying that sit down to switching me over to strictly standups after i started nose stabbing that boat! Never been back to the sit down scene!

When i gutted mine to do the body work and shoot it i had a hard time lifting it and positioning on the stands when i started painting so i'll vouch for every bit of the 137.

If the head is machined for O-rings then thats all u should use. O-rings hold good compression. Using a sealant with o-rings will just take away from the seal. I have even seen o-ring kits used on 16 cylinder catepillar marine diesels. I would replace the o-ring kit for starters with no sealant.

U should definately be using a gasket or O-ring kit for the head. Not gasket maker. It still could be leaking from your crank seals as well i wouldnt rule that out either.

Pretty Badazz..... to roll something the size of a Donzi!
