Carb is from a 1984 JS 550. Rebuilding the carb, couldn't help but notice this butterfly attached to the throttle bar does not look right at all. Is this bent, and would this have been part of the reason it wouldn't idle correctly? WTF is up with the gouges??
You hate sticker star? Good for you, because I LOVE IT
2011 Axis A20, left rear stock hard ballast tank with fatsac installed on top of it. Piggyback system.
Fatsac has 3 ports - low front, center top, low rear.
Factory fill hose from pump rerouted from fill port on factory hard tank and is now connected to a check valve, which leads to low front fatsac.
Low rear fatsac piped to factory hard tank fill port.
Factory vent tube still goes from vent port on factory hard tank to the thru-hull outlet, but now has a tee fitting on it, which is connected to center top fatsack.
It fills and drains fine. When filling, water runs thru fatsac until the hard tank fills first, then the fatsac fills up. When draining, hard tank empties as the fatsac drains into it.
The thing I can't figure out - I left the fatsac and hard tank full for a few days while the boat was in my yard. Over time, the fatsac slowly emptied. There is a very slow drip coming from the T handle plug hole, which is open.
Obviously the water dripping out is coming from the tanks. There's nothing leaking from the thru hull vent port. There is no water around any of the fatsac ports, nothing leaking from the hard tank ports.
Where is the water most likely leaking from?
On a side road at 8mph, wife's car completely lost steering and she went up on a curb. The kids were not in the car. No injuries, no damage to anything.
I keep thinking about what could've happened if it fell off at a higher speed with them in the car. It makes me sick to my stomach, but I'm trying to convince myself it still would've ended without injury.
I'm telling myself the forward velocity of the car would've kept the wheels straight until it slowed down, and then it would've veered off the road, right? Possibly?
Or would the wheels immediately flop to the right the second the link fell apart, potentially causing a horrible crash with me losing 3/5ths of my whole family in the blink of an eye?
Fuck, I hate this car. I hate it I hate it I hate it.
These fit my 2014 JKU. the price variation between the exact same setup goes from this to more than a thousand. How the F are they sold so cheap??
I wanted to wake board for as long as I can remember. I only ever saw it from afar and never up close. I bought a wake boat last year and finally used it yesterday. Realized how little I knew about getting the boat to make the correct wake, and I have a few specific questions. I have plenty of boating experience but driving a wake boat is an entirely different experience.
I am not asking about making a wake for wake surfing, only making one for wake boarding. Boat is a 2011 Axis A20. To get an idea of weight on board, imagine the boat will only have an adult driver on board and me in the water.
Does the boat need to plane to make the ideal wake?
Should all ballast tanks be full, or just the front to help it plane?
The boat will not plane under 20mph and the bow is REALLY high right before it planes (no trim adjustment possible). If the ideal speed for this is 15mph, do I need to go up to 20 and then slow it down, or am I planing it wrong?
Does the floating surf wedge need to be in use, or is that only for when you're making a surfing wake?
Is one big wave coming off both sides of the back with a rooster tailed center the wake I want?
How far back from the boat is the ideal wake zone?
I took two non-working LED spotlights off a wake tower.
What you're seeing is the LED lens attached to a pretty large, cone shaped heat sink. There are 5 LEDs in it. The computer chip the LEDs were wired to got wet, and basically disintegrated.
The cup these go inside is the same shape. I haven't been able to find replacements. Thanks in advance.
The rims it came with are ok, but I know there's a better looking set out there. I just don't know what they are. I
