Hit huge wave and suddenly no start

[bigJake]

You guys figured me for dead huh!!!THANKS!!! lol No im back i just had a bunch of stuff to do and havent got a chance to get on here or even touch the ski yet. I was telling my girlfriend that she needs to bring a camera next time but she freaks out and yells at me that it gonna get wet. As for the ski landing on me..........most definetly it did the last time that i jumped and yeah it hurt a little but oh well its water right and pain is temporary so ill do it again. I wish some of you guys could come to michigan and go out there with me its the experience of a lifetime.. oh and yes the ski almost always lands on the back end so its a pretty smooth landing except for the one time that i landed sideways and hit so hard i snapped off a sponson. That one did hurt a little but i didnt fall off so i counted it successful. But ill let you guys know what i find im gonna tear into it tonight .......... by the way when i pulled it up on the sandy shore i know that sand got in the intake grate and probubly made its way into the engine so anybody have an idea of how to flush it out with out tearing it apart

will do buddy yeah definetly hurts sometimes but the most important thing to do is never let go alwyas ride the ski back down or it will hurt ALOT. You should travel to michigan to ride with me and you could see how crazy it is out there when a storm is brewin. We are supposed toi have 40 mph winds tomorrow off the bay with huge swells they say so im working diligently to fisx the ski for this monster storm

wow, sounds like awesome fun but my bad back could never take that kind of impact. I got to load up on ibuprofen just to go out on the lake here and jump the 1 foot wakes created by the tubers and I still sometimes scream like a girl from the pain on impact. Be careful out there man.

I'd probably at least take the cylinder head off, that's pretty easy. Just those 10 (or is it 12 bolts) on top. Just make sure when you put the bolts back on you tighten in the order specified and torque to spec. Probably disconnect all the hoses and run water thru everything you can access. and definitely take the water control valve apart, a few grains of sand can plug that pretty easily
