Thinking about buying this sj

[Mike Grafas]

Anyone know this sj?

Basically all stock, was wondering if it's a good deal, I'd probably offer him less

But I've also ridin a stand-up twice, so don't know if I will be able to test ride it, I can obviously put the back end in the water and make sure it doesn't bog but after compression check would it be stupid to buy if all else checks out and not test riding it?

The pictures didnt load so i cant comment on the price and condition. Price is mostly about the market and how fast you want something. Asking price is in the ballpark for a clean running ski.

As far as riding it, watch it idle on the trailer and rev it a little if it has a bow stop. That shoukd be enough if the compression is correct when you test it. Rebuilding carbs is about $150 for the parts. Ask the seller to ride it near shore just above idle and to stab the throttle right as he passes. If it falls on its face, you could try to negotiate the cost of carb kits, but it wouldnt be a deal breaker for me. Electrical issues shouldnt be too much a concern if he can run it wot.

I can't get it to load, but if it has good compression and runs good under load, yours be fine.

Pics loaded for me. Looks pretty clean except it has no hood seal. easy replaced item tho. I think the price is pretty fair for what he has there. all stock skis are usually pretty reliable providing they haven't been tinkered with too much. I'd say go for it

Where's hood seal...

 

[The440Dude]

aftermarket hood seal delete kit

 

[Mike Grafas]

I'm assuming the picture is before he put the new seal on it, and if it's easy fix

And I could also ride it on my knees, I can ride but turning around is a bit hard standing up

Plus I'd hate to drive an hour and a half wet, if it's at his house then at least he can go in a change haha

But ski looks like it has some hours on it, which obviously is expected but even if motor blows after first ride I can rebuild myself

Dude , test drive the ski , if only on your knees so what , go for it... You wouldn`t buy a car without driving it. Or would you...???

Well I didn't test ride my blaster when I bought it, but that's cause it was night time and didn't know the area, but I still put it in the water on trailer and ran it through the rpms

It's possible the only time I can check it out would be after dark

 

[mk1]

Ok , at the very least do the same as you did with your blaster. Good luck with it.

Bought it

Ran great for 3 tines out, then one way valve was being finicky (which he said it would sometimes act up)

New one way and have 10 rides on it so far, besides a starter dead spot everything else was good
