Got a New baby. 1997 SPX

Come and get your Ski! How far is it, 5-6 hours? If you leave now and we can be riding come sun up in the morning.

Thinking about the same thing. :-D.
But do I need to clean the carbs and change the pump oil first? This weekend will be record high here according to the weather forecast.

You've got Tempo fuel and oil injector lines to change, and Rave valves to clean but there is a couple gallons of fresh fuel and SPX-2 premix in the tank if you just cant help it. I know I couldn't wait if it were mine, and it sure runs like it's ready to go do some damage.

At least change the fuel lines, it will take you a hour max. Just change 1 line at a time.

Yes, I learned the HARD way....definitely change ONE AT A TIME if you're new to it.
I took ALL of them off, then put it away for like TWO YEARS...was not fun upon returning:facepalm:

When you're coming down the road and see this, STOP! You're here buddy It's outside covered ready and waiting to go home.


On Edit: It's really your lucky day, we grow a large variety of the Mutsu apple here and it's harvest time. The really choice ones are saved back and turned into these one day a year (today), this one has your name on it to take home for the kids.

Your boys will spend the entire winter in the garage making jetski sounds and playing now. ~Best dad ever! Glad your all home safe and sound, going riding after work?

When I got the Jeep, I didn't have the boat and the jetski. and didn't know what I was going to use the Jeep, at least not offroading with a brand new one, yet.
Now it worked out all well. It is compact and a lot of power on the road and at the ramps.

Now I am looking for single trailer to get her into the still warm water.

You guys couldn't believe how difficult to find a used trailer in Canada. New ones cost $1200. Anything from US, if no readable VIN, they don't register it. Crossing border isn't the problem, I have confirmed that at the border last night. It is the Service Ontario who requires a VIN. But I am just wondering, what is I say it is homemade :-D

Connection made by the forum.

That's pretty cool! Go get one of those trailers and I'll meet you on Pelee Island tomorrow, it's halfway and smack dab in the middle of Erie, really fun ride!

Twin Xp's and a GC. Good taste, this man has it in abundance! :cheers:

I can't help you with the Jeep but I *think* I really want one of those GTI's like you own or basically a larger / longer length ski so there's a little more room on the back end for my big self to crawl up on. I'm pretty good at tossing myself off the XP and have quite a time getting back on it.

Basically, I'm a big old guy and need something that won't spin and turn so fast

 

[Matt Braley]

Start thinking about a way use my buddy's CNC shop now. :-D

First thing is a collar for the exhaust output at the back. I saw one guy did this in this forum. Looks very cool. Couldn't find the link anymore.

I will design it in Solidworks and have my buddy CNC it with our forum LOGO and oxidize it to any color except pink :-D

Any other ideas on cosmetic upgrading?

I'm a buyer on these. I want some for my keeper skis so please let me know if you ever get that done.

Oh and sorry guys but my ole Range Rover is way cooler than a Jeep.
