Throwin around a 550
- Location
- Texas
I know it's no super-jet but here ya go.
Well it's finally done, I bought this ski back in Feb-March of 09 and I finally finished it Feb 2010.
Time Invested- Too much
Money wasted- A whole lot
Bought the ski off another user at pwctoday as a non running 550 that had just been rebuilt and needed a couple parts for $400 with a title. Upon further inspection I found that the motor was rebuilt with New Wiesco pistons(yay), No gaskets (RTV was used all the way around). The ski also needed a flame arrestor and a throttle cable.
I tore the engine down and rebuilt the entire ski correctly, cometic copper gaskets all the way around, new crank seals ect ect.
I was not a fan of the rattle-can paint-job either so I went from Rattlecan black and red to the Lime green used on the Dodge challengers. Needless to say I won't be painting another ski any time soon.
Well feel free to ask anything I suppose. Also the 750sxi pro is my brothers that I also happened to stumble upon while restoring this thing for a nice $200 Running and titled.
