Would highly recommend against running the ski anymore before replacing the gray Tempo fuel lines, fuel selector and rebuilding the carbs. When you get the carbs apart you are going to find the tiny filters to be pretty clogged, at least contributing to, if not causing your bogging problem. If...

I lost the top throttle lever pin on my 96 GSX. I see some selling inline for $20 (for a frickin plastic pin). Anybody know a reasonable source or best alternative? Stainless steel pin with a c-clip, if i can find the right size? Right now in a pinch I have a screw holding it in place.

might be the water control valve on top of the muffler (looks like a rave valve). It just unscrews after removing the water lines. There is a needle valve inside that I believe controls flow of water to the tuned pipe. That can get blocked with just a few gains of sand. The clamp on the...

Open your gas cap when it won't start to see if you get a woosh of air escaping from the gas tank which would indicate the pressure release valve for the gas tank is blocked. As the boat sits in the sun the gas expands and builds pressure, if the pressure relief valve is not working and your...

Sounds like advice from experience :)

I'm installing a new rear bumper corner on a '97 GSX. The old one broke and I drilled out the rivets. The holes in the replacement corner don't quite line up with the original so I have to drill new holes in the fiberglass to attach. I have rivets that are slightly larger than what was...

Yep, you are right, looking back at the instructions which I obviously didn't read thoroughly, the last line in Step 3 does say to tack the sides first and then tack the back. I think I somehow just skipped reading steps 3 and 4 and just read step 5: "Now that you have the back of your seat...

Well I finally got a chance to install the new seat cover. First off I removed the staples and trimmed off the old stapled/wrinkled area of the edge of the old cover. The crack in the foam had actually separated and there was almost a 1/8" gap in the foam so the spray adhesive was not an...

I hear ya, I remember seeing several cases of 5 year old kids getting kicked out of kindergarten for sexual harassment for giving their friend a hug. Kids that age don't even grasp the concept. This county has gone totally crazy and I and really afraid that we have already passed the pint of...

yea much easier to grasp if that's what you grew up with. I was born in 59 so was well indoctrinated in the old system when they attempted the switch in the 70s and most people were just opposed having to learn something new so it was a total failure.. I honestly don't know if they currently...

try a couple zip ties around the bellows to get more tension on the carbon ring. Also, I bought new carbon rings once and they were shorter than the originals, so that could be a factor in your lack of tension between your carbon ring and the SS ring

US gvmt tried to convert us to the metric system back in the 70's but it didn't fly. They started putting both Imperial and Metric labels on everything thinking they could slowly switch over, here we are 50 years later still with both measurements on every label but no actual progress toward...

When people ask me what gauge my pistol is, I tell them 0.354331 inches LOL

24 Celsius??? Talk American, we don't know what that shit means here. LOL

Our lakehouse is in central PA, 85 degrees yesterday and a nicer 76 today. So far my relaxation at our "vacation" home has consisted of picking up a million branches from the major wind storms the past couple weeks, cutting the grass and power washing the house and decks. I got tree guys...

Please use pliers with well insulated handles or we will be reading your next post in the obit section. I usually just use a screwdriver with a plastic or even better a wooden handle.

Yes, Sorry, I've been meaning to post an update but have been at he lake house the past few days doing maintenance. I received samples from both DIY Seat Skins and Marine Vinyl Fabric. It's hard to really tell for sure but the Marine Vinyl may be a hair thinner as it seems to be slightly...

Marine Vinyl is $18.98 + $17 shipping and tax = $35.95 DIY is on sale from $48 down to $39 with free shipping. Marine Vinyl is sending 3 free color samples. I initially ordered 4 colors and they wanted $15 shipping, I changed to to 3 and it was free, go figure I asked DIY to send 2 color...

Yea, after seeing that and watching a couple other youtube videos, it looks like it should be pretty easy. Now I'm trying to decide between DIY and MarineVinylFabric, They are pretty much the same price when you add shipping. The color on Marine VinylFabric shows the actual material and it...

She sure made that look easy.
