What if you sold that business, pocketed the proceeds, and could suddenly get back in for $0…? 

Still not interested…? 

Still a hard no

Hey @KnoxTNBoats follow Csleaver recommendation, I have the exact same motor and year and had the exact same problem, Csleaver nailed it. I had a small amount of rust buildup inside the small metal crossover tube (it's what the air breather tube goes into and crosses over to the other side of the engine). It's very easy to remove it and inspect. once I cleaned out the rust out everything operated as normal.  I wouldn't have figured it out without Csleaver.

Thanks!

In addition, I've since discovered a couple of others:

And here's the S-line url:  https://slinesusa.com/collections/slalom-rope-collection

Lake Elmo makes sense (they are local to me) as they cater mostly to show skiers and I can see those guys needing/wanting to make their own custom length ropes.

Hi guys,

                  Picked up a new to me 2010 VLX. we have put 3 hours on it and it now has hesitation under load. Did the full tune up, rotor cap, distributor, leads and spark plugs but still having issues. 

Went and bought a fuel pressure gauge and used that. It does not get up to full pressure with key on as about 5 to 6 seconds later the pump turns off again. If i do multiple key ups i get just over 56psi in the gauge but as soon as the pump stops all pressure is lost. Back down to 0 PSI Could this be a bad fuel pump or fuel injector?. This would explain the hard starting when cold as there isn't enough pressure in the fuel rails until 8 to 9 seconds of attempted starting. It has the Gen3 fuel pump. Do these have filters? Looking for advice on what to do thanks. 

 

Most likely a bad regulator, but it could also be an injector hung open.

I have that HF polisher (older model but very similar) and a Milwaukee M18 one. I like the HF one a lot more bc the Milwaukee one is crazy powerful and will sometimes “get away” from me.
