CarbonCorban's HPE powered RIP Build

That looks great Ducky, thanks. I imagine it would start, but don't like to crank a bunch on that initial startup after not riding for a couple weeks, month, etc.

Don't have to crank a bunch especially if you pull plugs out. But squirting a little into the carbs works awesome too.
Just for reference, I've let my ski sit for a couple weeks and it fires up the second I touch the starter. I don't have a primer on my ski and rarely ever have to choke it by hand.

Yeah, honestly, it took very little primer to fire it up this weekend for the first time, so I am not expecting it to be an issue, just preparing. Our lake is about 2.5 hours away, so once you're there, I don't want to be running from the beach to get things. I want to be prepared and just ride. LOL

Well, the first ride report is AWESOME!!! Much easier to handle and smoother than my BOB. Easily gets out of the water.

I have some tuning on the HPE motor as I switched up my exhaust from the B-Pipe to the WDK, so definitely need to work on dialing that in, but you can feel the power at even only less than half throttle. I think the jets are good, just need to adjust and feel it out.

Most of the day was breaking in the motor and making sure everything was working as it should, and I only got about 3 hours of actual time on the water due to boat inspections when I arrived at the lake. I had a small ebox issue which cost me about 1 hour of water time as well. Will be at the lake this upcoming weekend for an extended stay, going to get a couple tanks through the motor and work on adjusting the carbs.
