My experience has been that Ed’s standard jetting is always off. Either Rich or lean. I have found it best to just start with my own jetting and go from there.

Most important keep the 1.8 needle and seat installed. Ed designed them to work with that size and a 24 psi pop off.

What caused the issue?

Bad Tuning? Primer? Bofth? o_O

No clue, the issue reared it’s head about 4 minutes later. I believe it’s intermittent loss of spark, I changed a coil because it seemed like I was getting weak spark so we will see if that’s it.. if not guess I’m swapping brains!
Did meet @Big Chris and his son up here though! Nice guys!

Issue was the brain, wasn’t a big win, serves me right for being a cheapskate lol.
Ski rips. Still does the weird rev up after I close the playes on the stand thing but no issues whatsoever in the lake

My rec boat would hang the RPM high (not return to the idle it was just at) when trying to clear the water box on the stand. I had my low circuit too lean.

How does that happen? Is it from high compression and starting the engine? Or does it just hit so hard it will twist the crank inside the flywheel?

This case was from my uncle trying to ride the ski and killing my battery until the engine was slow cranking. Kicked back on a slow crank and sheared the key. Guy rides a 1000cc DVX and says “wtf this thing is stupid I can’t get up on it” because he couldn’t rest his arms on the lower tray sides lol

Salt water or fresh water?

Little bit of both. Water did get in the ebox each time. Had to really seal it up. The extension cable got water behind it and broke a pin on the connector on the 1st one. After that I quit using the cable just the rubber plug. Both ao2t cdis that went bad had water intrusion on the sides of the sealed area where the wires come out. I'll get some pics and post them. Not trying to derail the superfreak thread though haha

Going to make up my mind once I can get a little more tray time but after about 10 gallons I think I might be putting the finishing touches on her and selling the hull to move toward a circus or kdx.
Ski rides awesome, for sure lives up to the hype, but it either needs a smaller cc setup for wake chasing or I need a more flatwater oriented hull.
Very flat riding hull for sure and slides out with ease!
I think I have more fun building the skis then I do riding them though !
