Opinions on this set up

[hangtime]

I started the thread a while back about singles or duals and it got over 100 posts of "discussing" back and forth about what to use .

I ended up keeping my dual stock 38's after talking to Paul @ Magoos:biggrin:

I sent my carbs to him and I'm glad I did man.In hindsight I couldn't see spending the money on a new mani and a new carb when I got the manifold and two carbs already . you could spend 400 to 800 on a new mani and carb and you'll never recoup that selling your used 38's and manifold

Do whatever works for you man but if you got 2 carbs than I'd keep 2 carbs and you'll be extremely pleased with the Skat freeride swirl . I have one of those and it hooks up incredible with no slip at all .

Enjoy is the bottom line man ,do what makes YOU happy :biggrin:

Here's the thread about duals or singles ,it makes for some nice reading .

its more about putting up the b/s flag after i said something and not backing it up with anything
Disagreeing is fine i dont mind that
But If the guy is asking questions then dont just say b/s to some ones posts
try to back your self up with facts

i didnt see my post with the bs flag any more or less informative than yours

yeah do not put the type 9 on your freeride ski
i wouldnt buy the single carb if i was you
its a waste of time
i know this will cause an argument but the reality is in the testing

saying the word "testing" does not qualify as backing yourself up with facts.

you said buying the single is a waste of time with no facts to back it up

i said :bs: without facts to back it up.

i think the fact-o-meter was pretty evenly balanced. dont you?:biggrin:

lol through all the tension you guys can make someone laugh, i like your passion and intensity :woot:

thanks for all the advice, i mentioned the setup as a friend has these products for sale at giveaway prices. my main hard on came for the UMI pole - 2" with steering yada yada, as that would save me around 900 dollars (yip thats right, try shipping that here:banghead: ) but he also had all the other goodies mentioned (single carb etc)

- i will certainly take the pole and steering / footholds / bilge
- the cdi advent is brand new and in dollar terms costing me 200 dollars odd, so might as well just get it.
- i am having the head done and port matching.
- i will get my friends B pipe (woohoo its only 2 weeks old and had exactly 10 min ride time on it) :Banane01:

- of course the fooholds and matting
- get myself a trick chinpad
- wamiltons 8 handhold freestyle hood is on the cards in the near future.

from there i am still deciding whether to port my cylinders etc making it a 760 cc .with a billet girdled head, i think i will hold on that till my skill improves and warrents it (for those massive flatwater backflips of course :cheer: )

- carbs wise i dont know, 44mm seemed abit small with alot of reading i did suggesting 48mm at least as a single. what dual carbs would you recomend and where should i look to shop for them and ship ? wamiltons / blowsion etc?

p.s i really think this is the funkiest emoticon :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

ahhh the D cut out on the stocker plate, i know this has been done to death, but does it have benefits for the flatwater freestyler? i dont know why i keep thinking its for you surf demons?

i have been wanting to do it but havent had that answered yet?

i will then run a search for the size of cutout

cheers

 

[Superman]

freestyleriverrat you asked how much for the UMI head with interchangable domes (2 sets of inland and sea level domes included) - around 200 dollars ?

by saying shrimp on the barby are you coming across with a racial slur because it would be a shame to see you banned from another site

as far as you assuming i was admiting being wrong did you get that from the same asumbition that made you say things about the ski that you had no idea about it 62t cylinder is that the reason you are so far from the mark

Is it normal for you to make recomendations for people skis when you are just assuming things like there cylinder etc
opps thats a major

tell me does testing equal more of a fact that assumbition

like i said
whatever , i am over you

I still don't understand why the D shape is so critical. I have one because I got it from Steve at the Watercraft Factory that way. I also have a Wamilton's composite one that I hacked straight across. I don't really see a huge difference between them on flat water, but I haven't played in surf with either to compare.

However, regardless, even with the flush cut one (which is a little shorter than stock), I saw a tremendous improvement in being able to get the nose up in the air. The longer the tail of the plate, the more it pushes the nose down and makes you have to exert more energy to get it up in the air.

i have never tried a d cut plate
doesnt it make it hard on your pump nossle with the landings

i am planing on trying one as i have an old plate here to cut up

 

[sflsurfrider]

what kinda D cut are we talking? below the nozzle bolt like on a worx? or all the way in back of the tray?

The large D cut, like Steve (and others) do on their plates, about a 4-5" semi circle.

you just answered your own question.

in addition to getting the nose in the air easier, it also seems to track better especially when turning back into your setup wake.

I did not like my D Cut plate in Texas, very rough conditions, wished I had my regular plate........... in Daytona it was fine..........

 

[Superman]

ok so a 4-5" diamiter cut out of the stock plate, worth a try.

hmmm friend seems to be changing his mind about taking the type 9 pipe,(leaving me high and dry without a b pipe) so the type 9 a very bad idea ? just reasking because the prices are so good. otherwise i will just have to wait awhile and hold off,and put in a order to have one flown in.

Your gonna have a hard time worrying about prices so much .:banghead:
Standup riding is huge money and even more money overseas so just do what's in your budget and quit worrying about what you can afford or not .
Do one thing at a time and ride it until the next mod .
you'll enjoy having a different feel everytime you add a mod.

For the record though my twin carb 97 with a b pipe and skat swirl rips out of my hands last time I rode it .:biggrin: I'm weak too so it's catching me by surprise :arms: :arms: :arms:

good advice Hangtime,

not to concerned cash wise (not a eric malone replica ski cash wise though :27: ) just that the pipe and head was throwaway money and if there was a way of making it work in a freestyle application instead of racing (as i am sure the Type 9 was aiming for) with set up, then it woulda been worth it.

I want the ski as perfect as i can get it, will wait for the B pipe. i have set aside enough for heads pipe carbs steering etc, its just deciding on the final set up before importing. browsing the forum is certainly helping. at least the pole and steering and footholds has been sorted out :cool2:


appreciate everyones advice and input! :cheer:
