Not real boating as such, but the wife's brother gave my kids his old pole skis. They've been sitting around for nearly 10 yrs. I've got 1 going but the other may take a little more work.
Not that I'll be riding them for quite a while. Don't think my back surgeon would be happy if he found out.

I see donor engines for something more fun....
That looks a whole lot of fun. I had a crack on one a hand full of years back. Think it will be a while before my next go too.
Nothing is more fun than a poleski.Quote:

Whadda they go for normally?
Kneeling is for pussies haha. You stand up and ride it. Think of them as a 2S MX bike compared to the sit down types as a Harley.

From memory if you ride motorbikes takes a bit of getting used to, if you counter steer like a bike you fall over.Quote:

Going to have to strip the intake off and inspect it all now. It's probably a carb issue as my bil has had issues before with it.
I've been recommended to delete both the oil pump and crankcase ventilation valve by a lot of jetskiers. Seems the oil pumps have common issues failing and so does the seals on the ventilation valve and then bad bad things happen.
Seeing as they've been sitting for ages it may be preventative maintenance if I do at least that to the 1 that runs.
The other needs to come out of the hole for further tinkering
A deal came up years ago and i brought it to sell on and mark some money. Timing was bad as i had broken my arm. Any way my mate reckons you better go for a blast before you sell it you be right just put a plastic bag on it. Fell off then had to go back to a&e and try to explain why my cast was wet and had sand in it:oh noes: s
Classic :thumbsup:Quote:
