  • Join Jet Ski Jim as he works on a complete top-end overhaul of the 12F engine for his friend Tim Gewecke. With a stunning new paint job by Glen, this ski is looking better than ever! While Jim dives into the engine work, Tim puts his focus on the Rob Roy handle pull. Although the Jet Trim pads aren't finished yet, Jim couldn't resist taking the ski for a test spin on the lake.
    During the lake test, Jim meets four awesome jet ski enthusiasts from Las Vegas: Dom, Jacob, Sebastian, and Jackson. He loved the skis they brought to ride.
    And don't forget you can see Tim Gewecke barbecuing his meat for Rusty's Diner or selling houses as a local realtor.
    Big thanks to Merlin from Merlin's Old School Garage for his timely help!

    But where’s the F100 Cummins?
    Am doing a 2wd dentside also and having a build “group” is cool. All the builds I find are 4wd or stalemated

    Even with the size of that motor it looks to me that you had more room to work around inside the engine bay than you've had on some of the other videos where you worked on the motor inside the jet ski.

    Jettting Jimmy doesn't sleep,
    He just drinks more key fuel.
    Plus he probably goes to bed around 10 or 11,
    4 or 5 hours of sleep is what normal people get,
    So that brings us into 3am.
    And that's a normal schedule for a lot of Americans.

    The things you fresh water boys can get away with. Here in the brine that reamed out hole would start the creeping crud of corrosion during the first run. We've got to at least coat the bolt holes exposed to the water with MarLube to somewhat keep it at bay.
    Best!

    I just recently bought a SXR and the stuff about the handle pole was interesting. I purchased a stiffer handle pole spring but haven't gotten around to installing it, doesn't seem too hard just need an extra set of hands, but I think the true gauntlet of whether I keep the stock pole spring or not will be memorial day weekend. I signed up to do a long ride with a group of riders. Its planned to be about 70 miles!
    Additionally I really like the idea of saving the SXR hull (I'm assuming the 15F went into a GP1 or something like that) and putting in an older engine, but recently I came across a local rider with a Kawi Triple 1100 in a SXR 1500 hull and that thing RIPS. Not quite as insane as the 1100 conversion in an 800, but also a different feel than the 1500. Now I'm looking for an SXR 1500 hull to swap some 2 stroke into.
