Is this thread dead? Worth starting a new one about Lakes Street beach conditions? I feel like there are a lot of standup riders there and worth a thread to share the conditions of the launch and if...

Yeah? I'll try and time it next full tank I go though.

Thank you everyone so far with the help on this build.

Seems to be running good, however, it seems to be burning through gas at twice the normal rate. I know with the ADA head, Mod B pipe, and...

Got one. Facebook marketplace

Got it off with the tool. This is what the setup looked like to get it off:

Anyone been out? Lake street beach or Hammond open?

Took apart a modded WB1 with an ADA head dual cooling and factory mod pipe. I've read a lot on here and looked at FP's manual and it differs from how it was previously routed. I think I have the...

It was very hard to start... lot of cranking before it would start.

I appreciate that, but I do have a lot of jets (Mikuni large round and similar) lying around, so would try to use what I have to jet it if possible. So just looking for a starting point using what I...

I have a 1984 JS550 with a SBN 44 carb and West coast exhaust that has never run right. SBN was bought used and probably needs to be re-jetted. Trying to jet the carb, but looking for a good place to...

Anything out there?

Ok, sounds good. Planning on boring the 6/6 cylinder (61X) to 1.0mm over and getting pistons. Thank you.

Next three problems:

1. Stripped factory pipe headpipe to exhaust manifold, suggested...

So those numbers mean nothing to me?

Anything else I should look for on deciding between the two 61X cylinders I have? (One is .5 over already, one is stock)

I wasn't.... But now I am lol.

Makes sense, with all the work rebuilding this engine I may as well replace pistons.

So go with the unbored cylinder and bore it with new pistons?

Since I...

So got some parts together from another WB1 and noe I'm trying to reassemble a good engine.

Upgrades on the engine will be factory mod pipe, ads girdled head, 44 buckshot carbs, carbon fiber...

OK, Ordered the coupler tool. Ill advise if the impact gun works. Any advice on holding the crank down? Reassemble the case and cylinder to do it?

Would an impact gun and a coupler removal tool be advisable?

I'll send you a message

Yeah this was what I was worried about. How do you do that?

Got everything apart already, just have to order parts and figure out how to remove the coupler.

Right, but how do you hey those seals onto the crank?

Does replacing those seals require the crank to be rebuilt?

Doing some upgrades to my 1996 Wave Blaster and I noticed that my rear main seal has come slightly out... is this something that can be repaired without rebuilding the crank or splitting the case?

Ill shoot you a message

Awesome, Ill shoot you an email.

No, still looking for all those parts for the waveblaster. Got most of those for my SXR though.

The chamber is the only part waveblaster specific right? They manifold is the same for any 701?

Looking for an ADA girdled head or similar for my 1994 Yamaha Waveblaster 1. Also looking for a lightened flywheel, carbon fiber reeds, and a factory mod wet pipe. Let me know if you guys have...

Still looking... I know they are hard to come by, but man it made my SXR fly!!!

Still looking for advice on where to put the flow control valve if anyone could help out.

Thanks

Sorry I got a bit distracted from collecting the parts I need for jetskiing this summer. If anyone has a shortened handlepole for a SXR let me know. I am still looking.

Not locked into seadoos, those were the only ones I had found, but open to any suggestions.

Currently have one Kawasaki and one Yamaha, so no brand loyalty here lol

Looking for a 2-3 seater jetski for riding in the surf on lake Michigan. I have a Waveblaster and SXR, but those are too difficult for friends to ride. Looking for something that is earlier to ride,...

Thanks guys, I'll continue my search then. I really don't mind working on them, part of the reason I get them actually. So if most issues can be fixed right away then I'm ok with it, but if they are...

I am surprised that the 787 is a better engine than the 951

All the above, lol. Just the general type of riding focusing more on rough surf, low end power as opposed to flat lake top speed and cornering focus.

Would like to have a good ski for those...

What about size for surf riding with 2-3 people on an 01 GTX?

Is the 2001 GTX any better?

Thanks, I'm looking at a few GTX jetskis, which are a lot bigger, but I think you are right about boarding in water and that is what seems to deter people from riding my Waveblaster.

Looking at...

Aww, bummer. That's too bad. So it's similar to the Waveblaster 1 in terms of boarding? I really liked the size of the XP, but if you can't ride 2 people on it then that may not work...

Are any of...
