Anybody that has been around a while knows you're not trying to be a know-it-all Pete! Hell, some guys can't help it if they've been around a while and just happen to know a WHOLE lot. I like to...

Well hell!.......that won't help me any. Closest Pep Boys is 100 miles away, lol!

I'm just sure 34 is right. Stick them in the rod end with grease.....when they're all in you'll know cause they'll be tightly packed.

Maybe someone else will chime in but I'm almost positive that's the correct number. If the oem loose needles are good and shiny, NOT rusty or pitted, I re-use them. Stick 'em inside the rod with...

Was going that route and it SEEMS that's all that needs done. Ended up getting a brand new in the crate Yamaha standard block

I use an impact driver to disassemble, and run bolts back in. BUT snug and torque by hand. I also recently got a li-ion rechargeable ratchet that I'm really learning to like.......no air hose in the...

Don't jerry rig it and screw somebody else. Take the carbs apart, clean them, rebuild them, and be proud about selling a great running ski.

That damage is nothing, don't even worry about it. Those bosses are only there to support the timing chain guide....which it's still doing.

Doubt the oil pump caused a failure, probably a rotted off oil tube. You can delete and switch to premix if you like. Have the machine shop look at the bad cylinder before doing anything. It might...

Sounds like the fuel pump itself crapped. Not uncommon. Pull it and test it with 12v.

Yep, the corrosion swells them from behind, pushing towards the impeller.

To me it looks like the center plug is lean and already trying to destroy your new rebuild. The clean one on the right is either flooding so badly that it's washing the plug clean, OR maybe not...

Found my notes...
There are 2 blues with blk stripe.....jumper those together. A paperclip shoved into the backside of the connector shoukd work.
Then there is a solid blue, and 2 blacks. Jumper...

......First ski???
....for the family and tubing??
..already has 180 hours??

For starters, a supercharged ski is a terrible idea as a "first" ski.......unless you have money burning a hole in...

6700 rpm and 57mph is spot on! It's running perfect!

Yes, you can. The fogging port goes straight to the throttle body which is AFTER the i/c........unless it's a 215hp with the i/c inside the intake which is also just fine.

Your budget is good for nothing except headache.

Realistically, for that budget, try to find something complete. Maybe a pair on a double trailer. Then sink some money LEARNING how to rebuild them...

My thought is with an air or powered grease gun, yes, you could put in so much so quickly to pop a seal out.

With a small hand operated pump, I don't see it happening.

You see those rust spots in the ring? The aluminum corrodes and pushes the ring into the impeller. Time for a new housing.

Pull the front cover and clean all the metal shavings out of the magneto.

Yep, they are likely fuel logged. Since fuel floats on water, they float. When submersed in gas, they do not.

I've pretty much seen every make and model over the last 13 years repairing them. Maintained skis that are not abused and are serviced and winterized properly will last. It seems most folks think...

Leaking intercooler is spewing water into the intake which caused excessive pressure to hammer on a piston in the old engine. Previous owner kept riding anyway until the hammering damaged the bearing...

I have a 50hr Ultra310 at the shop now that just did this........no compression on #2. Guessing it broke a piston at the ringlands.
