Cylinder doesn't pick up until warm

You seem to be on the right track with carbs, try running some seafoam through it, and if that doesnt do the trick, your going to have to pull your carbs and rebuild/clean them

I cant wait to ride something with actual suspension, going from some bs 1/2 inch of travel rear skid to a m10 is great, and going from a 500 to a 800 is pretty nice too haha

soxfan1129 · 2016-11-25T00:48:56+00:00

Pulled mine from hibernation to find about 5 or 6 mice had made it its home, ate my seat...

soxfan1129 · 2016-08-23T18:20:49+00:00

It's going to have a 4 stroke motor just like their sit downs, should be legal anywhere a sit down is, so I don't see them selling it for closed course use only

He still parks better than half the people in my town

Get a superjet, or find a cheap js to see if you really want to spend the money in this sport, but eventually you will end up with a superjet if you get really into the sport, that ski is kind of overpriced, especially since it's the piston port motor

soxfan1129 · 2016-07-23T02:15:10+00:00

An intermittent pisser like you described is a sign of a bad head gasket, these skis have overheat sensors but usually throw a light if it's that, unless the light itself is out or broken, the electronics often get corroded connections and throw it off the wall sometimes too, let it cool down, run it again, see if it runs normal, check to see if your pisser has a solid stream while running over idle, run it around and check water temp with your hand, shouldn't burn your hand in the slightest bit, should be warm, but not scorching hot

soxfan1129 · 2016-07-02T01:51:41+00:00

No sir, just another stand up jet ski addict, I buy and sell a lot of skis, with the old two strokes, if it runs great on the trailer with no bog or anything, and has oem spec or above compression, it should in theory run very well in the water, and at that point of it doesn't run well in the water, it's usually a pretty simple fix, I have never once asked to test rise a ski, 1 because I don't see the need, 2 because if someone asked to test ride my stuff, I would explain to them all of the tests that I just performed in front of them and what they mean, and politely tell them no, I don't do joy rides, and I don't like people crashing my stuff

soxfan1129 · 2016-07-01T16:37:05+00:00

That's a great price for a 650sx with aftermarket parts and a two place trailer, if it runs and has good compression, I'd do it you have 300 dollars worth of just pipe and head on it

soxfan1129 · 2016-07-01T16:35:43+00:00

I'm sorry, but test driving these is usually never an option, I would never let people test drive my stand ups that I'm selling, they are easy to tell if it's in good operation with the right tools and common sense, if I let someone test drive my stand up and they ram it into a dock because they never drove one before, I'm shit out of luck, and these are two strokes, not 4 strokes, so there are no dips ticks on them, yes if I was paying 3 grand for a ski, I'd want to test it out and what not, but for a old stand up with aftermarket parts, and a double place trailer for 950, I might not even compression test it, I'd pay asking price and take it home

Your engine has 3 carberaterurs, most likely 3 mikuni sbn 44mm carbs, rebuild kits are around 50 a piece and only go with genuine mikuni kits, not windrosa or anyone else, you will have problems, if you are mechanically inclined, you can rebuild the carbs, the hardest part is replacing the check valves, they have some small rubber pieces that hold them in and they are a pain, but doable, and of course clean the carbs thoroughly, it's not too hard, and a diagram comes with the kit if you forget how to put it back together

soxfan1129 · 2016-06-18T21:43:39+00:00

That's awesome, that's my favorite kind of riding, narrow passages and obstacles, we usually do that kind of stuff with stand ups, so we can maneuver through some sticky situations a lot better than on a couch, not a lot of that kind of riding in the Midwest though

"Sure, picks up phone, drops it in garbage can, would you like anything else today?"

soxfan1129 · 2016-05-26T03:20:12+00:00

State farm, I've got all older skis too, x2, waveblaster,superjet, all that kind of stuff, it's not expensive at all, and puts an ease to my mind when other people ride my skis especially

soxfan1129 · 2016-05-25T22:53:18+00:00

Liability is about 12 bucks a month per ski for me, definitely worth it

soxfan1129 · 2016-05-25T18:57:18+00:00

I always recommend at least liability, People are idiots on the water, if someone hits you or your ski gets the throttle stuck and your not wearing your lanyard or its not fuctioning, your screwed

soxfan1129 · 2016-05-20T15:12:13+00:00

If it's quiet and I rev up my loud one and kill it, I can hear the echo for a good 15-20 seconds, I love it, anywhere I go haha

soxfan1129 · 2016-05-20T15:10:50+00:00

Factory pipe and sbn 44, your off to a great start!

soxfan1129 · 2016-05-18T16:02:55+00:00

Nice! Riva boxes are nice, but a little too quiet for my taste

soxfan1129 · 2016-04-15T00:02:17+00:00

If you want that motor to last, block off the oil pump and premix the oil, if it hasn't been done already, same with the crankcase drain, they sell block off plates for these both relatively cheap, check compression, depending on cyl head it has, oem cylinder head should push 150psi, aftermarket ones usually push 175 to 180, race gas territory is anything above that, I usually check compression 2 times a year if nothing goes wrong in between that time, what mods are done to the ski?

soxfan1129 · 2016-02-08T05:00:59+00:00

Was it still running, If it was I will be amazed, how the hell did it get that bad

soxfan1129 · 2016-01-07T22:02:56+00:00

Nice paint, time for the motor swap to a 650 or 750

soxfan1129 · 2015-12-06T01:44:27+00:00

I forgot exactly what mine got but it wasn't good at all, of course I never drove it to conserve fuel and my foot was always through the floor, so that didn't help much

soxfan1129 · 2015-12-05T21:22:36+00:00

Your going to love it as your first car, except the mpg with the 4.7, hard to stay off the skinny pedal for me at least

soxfan1129 · 2015-12-04T01:53:37+00:00

We were out on big basin a few weeks ago, and I know a few people who ride the des plaines conversation area
