Hey guys,I'm new here.Decided to join since almost everyone on pwctoday didnt have a clue what they were talking about and always had a attitude.Anyways I picked up this 88 650sx last year and decided to strip it down and re do everything.Not going crazy on a restoration just painting it.Assembling together put in the pieces that are missing,swap some other new parts on and throw the engine back in it.Here are some pics of when I got the ski.

Just some pics that were taken.I have jet to paint the ski.But more than likely my buddy will be painting it.Nothing crazy just plain white and maybe i'll throw some vinyl over that.Other than that the PJS head and motor were messed up.I still might have the PJS jug somewhere however I am not sure if it usable.The head was welded to the jug and came off in pieces.The jugs itself has some damage as well than can be seen in the pictures.I am not sure If I will be able to use it as it looks like someone ran this thing till it got red hot and seized.But we'll see I guess.I got 2 spare case and cranks with this ski and the motor that was in the ski at the time ran so I just might use that for the time being.I will have to check compression,leak down and pop off before I go any further.I do have a question.Since the carb that on the motor is a crappy BN 44 .Is it worth going to a 38mm SBN??Or running Dual SBN38's??Also if running dual which manifold to use??Will a manifold designed for sbn 44 work??I have a ocean pro dual manifold for snb44 brand new and will the SBN bolt on to the motor??
The motor has a stock exhaust but I do have a PJS header and a west coast water box and a jetpro intake manifold along with jet pro intake grate and a PJS ride plate.Suggestions are welcome.
