    Jimmy this was the third video i watched but in the second video I watched the one with Hunters 440 jetski I mentioned you being the reason we all watch because you are a loyal, dependable, faithful, selfless, and true friend and the kind of person we all want for a friend! And this drop everything to rescue Merlin and Desiree proves what I said to be true. Thats the same reason I watch Fab Rats because that is how Paul is and thats what I liked about Merlin. In a day in age where there is no loyalty or accountablity for actions in much of the population good people and friends are harder to find, There was a time when a mans word was his bond, yes meant yes and no meant no! God bless you and yours real good!

    I am so interested in watching Jim work an the knowledge he knows an I don't even own a jet ski the other cool thing is the area they live in its so close to the water that there's a whole community to tap into like I bet the Facebook market place has tons of boats an skis its just a cool area an k don't live there but from watching Jim an merlin you can get a feel

    Hello Jimmy I like watching your videos , I have a 92 Kawasaki TS650 took the carburetor apart it’s CDK2 . My question is how many turn to set the High and Low on the carb.

    • @jetskijim007
      @jetskijim007  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you. :-) Usually it's 1.5 turns out on the bottom, and 1 turn on the top.

  • @journey_w_John
    @journey_w_John 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I just put straight bars on with a finger throttle. The cable seems to be too short to keep it from turning all the way but it also doesn’t even pull the lever all the way back. Any tips?

    • @jetskijim007
      @jetskijim007  19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      You have to unclip the throttle cable from the plate the steering bolts to. Then you can pull another inch of cable and hook it back. As for the throttle cable itself, you have to adjust it at the carb to take the slack out, and use a jam nut on the finger throttle end to space it out.

    How would you compare the performance of this method of running less water through the pipe, vs the "Dry Pipe Mod".

    • @jetskijim007
      @jetskijim007  ปีที่แล้ว

      Makes more top end (by a small margin) than the dry pipe mod. We are not done with this ski yet. Stay tuned, as we are going to take some pitch out of the impeller (it is currently too tall), and raise the rev limiter. I am hoping to get 42mph with the small carb and stock pipe. :-)

    • @willfeather6383
      @willfeather6383 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Jim, and you would say it makes about the same on the bottom? I have the dry pipe mod on one of my skis, but would save the work routing it this way on another I'm building
