Let's Go Brando's Garage! Seeing these vintage "rebuilds" gives me weird satisfaction. There is something oddly nostalgic with pre internet era 2-stroke stuff

If it floats and has a motor, you'll figure out how it works. Another good video on diagnosing what isn't working right. I think soon your expertise on outboard and water toys will have you fixing others problems.

Nice revival! Reminds me a lot of a Kawi X2 (w/ 650) I brought back from the dead a few years back.

One problem with the choke is it may last exactly to the end of the ski's lifetime. The screws could potentially fall into the intake. Rare, but it does happen. Also not as good for starting if it has sat a long time or ran out of gas. Choke plates add restriction too. But you're right, the plunger primers suck. Which is why I got a pack of chainsaw primers for under $1 each.

Yup, that is a very '80s color scheme. Reminds me of my '80s pontoon boat, lol.

Smart move on the crank seals. I replace mine every season. Also, kudos on getting a round body BN carb working. My way of fixing them was to promptly eject them into the trash and replace with a SBN haha

What's the best way to replace the round body BN carb? Is there a specific model you use + any adapters needed? Thanks

@@LanierNutJob You'll need to find a SBN44 if you have a 550, otherwise use a SBN38. Rebuild it with a genuine Mikuni parts kit, jets and needle seat. Jetting will be specific to your mods and elevation.

After I realized a 650SX has just enough power to move my fat ass around, I kinda wrote off the 550 and especially the 440, but they look so cool! Really nice classic lines and it brings me back to the original days when my dad bought one.

I would suggest getting a 750sx or sxi, they have tons of power especially on the low end but rip on the top too. And they damn sure handle better than any 650 ever

interesting sensor coil setup. so no inner timing magnet for it , hence the need to adjust the whole stator to time it correctly i'm assuming?
@BrandonsGarage2 жыл бұрын
Correct! It works, but adjusting it sucks. However, if aligned even close you don't really need to. Bigger problem is coils are no longer available, even NOS ones are extremely rare.
