Why don’t batteries last in the desert? I assumed winters were worse than heat but apparently not. Finally the mystery of the great jetski wall is solved!!
The extreme heat in the summer kills batteries tires and paint. In the summer when the sun goes down you can feel the heat coming out of the ground. That and a very dry climate just drys out rubber plastic and vinyl. Shade and air flow is you friend in the summers here in Az.
@@robertottwell605 We moved here in August '01, i thought the cold water faucet was broken, no cold water to be had since the pipes are so close to the surface. we learned early to get all your cold water needs done early in the am.
Makes me want to find a ski and head out for the sand bar. Used to have great fun on those. Thanks for taking us along for the fun. Pack in some of that warm, Wes. Nice work on the ski.
awesome video as always Jim, great to see young Wes back in the shop working with you, this young man has so much potential for the future when hes learning from yourself and Merlin, thanks for sharing
Hello Jim i got one for you have you ever try-out a reataded key for the fly Weel it gives your fly Weel a slightly diferend spot on the krank ,the cheepest way to higher rpm I hope i did spel it correct Succes from the Netherlands 🤙
Jim - are others able to join your Wed night rides? I'd like to make the drive out there from CA and bring my superjet but would like to go with a group to explore and know where to go on the lake.
absolutely! We meet at the Windsor Beach PWC Launch ramp at 5pm. As the days get longer, we usually don't get rolling till closer to 5:30. but there is anywhere from 5 to 35 ski's. Depending on the week....
Ok so a ground fixes the issue? I have a enhancer in my blaster and i was chasing carb issues for awhile then got that fixed with a set of brand new mikuni silver body's. Then it felt like from 3/4 wfo throttle like there was no gain just engine sound change like it was lean. The most rpm i could achieve is 6500 and tje rev is set to 8 or 9k on the cdi. I put the stock cdi back in and seems to run better but still not achieving 7100 pinned. Will a ground fix the issue on a am cdi?
No, yamaha uses a completely different set up. I never see ground issues on them. Stock exhaust? If so, you may not get much more rpm. Does it rev out of water? If so you have too tall of impeller. :-)
@jetskijim007 I have a b pipe solas mag pump and hooker 10/16. I slapped a stock cdi in there and it went away so I assume the msd is bad. I was just curious if grounding it would help it out
Yee....
Haw....
Back at it,
Getting ready for the summer days 😎
How does Wes fit in with Merlin and yourself?
Looked like a pretty wild ride when you were hitting 60mph Jim.
Good to Wes in the water again before he goes home to cold country.
Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Thank you for your content, hope to see you some time @ the beach.
Everybody needs their own forklift to move their 100s of jet skis on the shelves. 🤣🤣
Good problem to have 😂
Did Wes get to ride the Bullet ski?
Wes is back!
Great content! Enjoy watching Wes work on the Jet Ski! Everyone have a Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!
love you
Awesome video !

Hay wishing everyone a blessed Easter Sunday. Appreciate the video. Remember everyone the reason for Easter Jesus Christ is the answer ✝️🙏💪
Amen
He got it running for the sandbar. Wes has skills. woot woot
57mph
...oh..uhm... I MEANT 37....lol
It sucks when ya put un the work and the results aren't positive. LoL
Awesome video, is the sandbar upstream?
Yes north of town on the Colorado river.
Wes did a great job narrating his wiring addition. Looks like he has great balance as well. Way to go Wes.
yes he did, his channel will take off when he gets it going...
Makes me want to find a ski and head out for the sand bar. Used to have great fun on those. Thanks for taking us along for the fun. Pack in some of that warm, Wes. Nice work on the ski.
Use a Duracell Battery from batteries plus, not the cheapest Wally mart crap
What upgrades will do to the SX now? Why isn't it going faster?
Engine is worn out. We will be doing a top end real soon. Lol. A lot of folks rode the ski last year.
Porting out cylinders new pistons and rings new bearings up top and bottom
The speedometer on your vid is pretty cool.
I would stay for the whole summer Wes! Welcome back.
awesome video as always Jim, great to see young Wes back in the shop working with you, this young man has so much potential for the future when hes learning from yourself and Merlin, thanks for sharing
More 650 upgrades that awesome got me working on mine now
Was that Wes' first time riding a stand up?
Third time. His goal is always to ride at least once every time he comes out here.
Wish Wes could spend summer with you Jimmy
I absolutely love that you have so many skis you keep them on a 3 story shelf and need a forklift to get them down!
Right? How many people can say that?
Wow to bad you have a underpowered ski😮 Only 63! Looks really fast!
Man I would love to make a sandbar run. Kind of a far drive from S.C. though 😂. Awesome video as always!!
vacation, just don't come on a major holiday, crazy crowded...
Man, we have to make a sandbar run with you guys! That’s awesome!
Yes! For sure!!!
come on out! Don't come on a holiday weekend though, its crazy crowded on the water...
So.. did you both swap and get Wes up to 60+ too 👍😎✊
Rofl. Wes needs more than an hour or 2 on a standup before he tackles the bullett... :-)
Curious why you don't run a wire to a bolt on the outside of the ebox, use a waterproof heatshrink connector and run that to the battery ground?
there goes yer snap on sponsorship! 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, i wish. :-)
Where are you riding in the lake? I've never seen that area.
North of Havasu, on the river where the lake narrows.
Hello Jim i got one for you have you ever try-out a reataded key for the fly Weel it gives your fly Weel a slightly diferend spot on the krank ,the cheepest way to higher rpm
I hope i did spel it correct
Succes from the Netherlands 🤙
You can loosen the two screws holding the stator to the cases and adjust the timing that way.
I love seeing all the different countries that watch the videos! Thank you!

Hey Jimmy, do you want a SeaDoo? Free..come and get it.

Bad habit of driving the forklift with your leg out on the side 👎
