Getting Things Ready...

Over winter we made a few changes to both watercraft: The STX work included new Boyesen Pro-57 reed petals, a new AP Designs three-piece seat cover and Hydroturf floor mats (tri-color). We also replaced STX the fuel filter and fuel lines and moved the primer up front, under the hood, for easier access (re-routed, off the return line). The Ultra needed new pump bearings: So, we shipped the pump to Impros. The Ultra exhaust was tweaked with MSD Pulse Width Modulated ECWI at the manifold end and an Inland Jet flow control valve set to 3.5psi at the stinger, feeding the waterbox.

Our friend stopped by and we put him to work... He prepared the Ultra's MotoTassinari reed cages by installing new carbon-fiber petals, which were installed in July (replacing the CarbonTech low tension reeds).
