I got back out to the surf today. My ski was running super strong. I was doing great handling it and my friend were pretty impressed at how fast I could get it going in 3-4' chop.
My friends couch stopped working, I rode in to see what was up. I got off the ski.
I went to fire the ski... well, it wont run anymore. No compression. I have drive output when hitting start. I have spark and some output when I put my finger over the plug hole. I have no suckion when putting my hand over the carb. I don't know what happened, but I went from running badass perfect for nothing after hitting the stop button.
I'm clueless as to what is wrong. Still waiting for my buddy to get the ski back to my house. It was moving water earlier but I can't say it was moving water when it stopped working. It's not seized, it just spins freely. Seems like no compression.
I don't know what to do about it. If the engine is blown, I have to get the water out. I was going to hook the hose to it and fill it with water while cranking it, then take the plugs out and try to make sure there's not water, then fill it up with WD40. I don't think it can be started tonight. I have class in the morning. I have to do w/e it takes to protect what I can before I can tear down the engine.

Anyway, if anyone is interested in any of the parts I have, let me know. I want to try to get my investment back from everything I have and look for a 95 SN or a roundie. I have lots of extra stuff. A 650 high compression head, a alum. bed plate, aan after market pipe, several hulls, 2 UMI steering for X2, lots of motor mounts, some cables, etc etc etc. Also, I'd like to sell my 650SX. It's not running right now. If someone will give me a few hundred $$ and take the project that'd be cool, otherwise I'll rebuild it and probably sell it shortly after it's running.
