Hi all, new to skis and new to the board. Picked up a 97 GSi/single trailer for free and got a really good deal on a 97 GTi with a double trailer. GTi is immaculate and needs nothing, GSi needs quite a bit but nothing unreasonable, chasing and cleaning all the corroded terminals and cleaning the carb at the moment.

GTi when I bought it off CL

GSi when I picked it up

Both skis trailered up.

Thats one messy carb.

Thanks, I already raided the classifieds and fired off a ton of messages, so stoked I found GSi parts in the classifieds! The carb is messy but was 10000% better when it came out of the cleaning bucket after only 24 hours... its been 4 days now, should be near perfect!

I'm a master small engine mechanic so this stuff is just a little bit different but I'm sure I'll have questions once I get the GSi running and getting it perfect.

Well I may have gone off the deep end.. Bought 3 more skis to fix and flip this fall...

I've learned so much already from this forum and also located A LOT of much needed parts! Thanks to you all and I'll chime in to help whenever I can!
