Here’s what they looked like when we picked them up. Also in the background is the boat that came with it.
Thanks Tom, these machines aren’t complicated and to be truthful we got a sweetheart deal. They even threw in a boat and trailer, lol. Just wanted them gone as their house had sold and they had no room at their new one. they had had some work done on them and then abandoned for several years. So far we know they are not seized, that’s a good sign. At this point we have 2 batteries bought as well as I’ve replaced the kill buttons on both as well as the ignition switch on Dave’s. New plugs and plug boots on mine, she cranks with good spark on both plugs. Next step is the carbs, gonna do a pressure test on them when the guage arrives(should be this week). Might have to do a rebuild on them, not sure, mine is a single carb and Dave’s is a double and if they don’t hold pressure or the pop off is wrong then we’ll rebuild them over the winter. I drained my tank and its a clean as a whistle. They both came with an repair manual, which is great and the interwebs have some great info as well to help us along. It’s certainly a learning curve I’m enjoying and perhaps with any luck we can get them on the water for a spin next summer. Gonna be a blast, LOL
The seat and handle bar cover had been recovered with what I assume was just a normal vinyl so I decided to pick up some marine grade and redo them. Luckily I found somewhat of a close colour match and have done the seat so far, have to wait a few days on the handle bar as I ordered a new cover as it had seen better days, LOL
I’ll concentrate more on mine for now as it is the one we’ve decided is a little less complicated. Neither one of us has any clue about these rigs so we’re learning as we go. The engine on the SP is a 587 Rotax.
“@FJTTSE Hey Kev, what do you think of this new ban on “military style” rifles? I think they’re targeting more than this with 1,500 on the list…”
It’s an absolute disgrace that the jackass Trudeau used an Order in Council to circumvent Parliamentary process, especially since the country is dealing with the Wuhan Flu. People should be very concerned at not only this but the Trudeau Liberals attempt at a power grab. Canadians really need to wake up and smell the roses with these psycopaths.
PS There are no such words as “military style” in the Criminal Code or Firearms Act, it’s just a scare tactic used by politicians and the media.
