I ran 39 just yesterday Feet to the mailbox

Sounds like mine, takes only a minute to take it off and look at the housing to see if it is marred up The hard part is getting it back on that takes some finagling Even if it looks decent it can still cause the sticking idle

When my tps has gone bad it will hold idle at different rpms as high as 300 higher than idle One thing for sure is it will get worse if it is a tps. They have aplastic housing that wears out or seats the tb blade in the wrong spot

ski boats are like the sausage dog at a mlb game, if they know enough people will pay 10-12 bucks for a sausage dog they will sell it for 10-12 bucks.

That picture with the yellow arrow is the tfi module, typically it is placed on the distributor but it looks like they placed in a different location already, which could be good or bad depending on heat soak. It also looks like the housing with the cooling fins was designed because of heat soak. I would try the wire wiggle test on the tfi too, doubtful that is the cause. But it should unbolt pretty easy, one tip: the tfi is like a 4 or 5 mm bolt and most sockets don't fit in the plastic opening very well, so I have had to tap the socket in or have a thin wall socket to be able to get the bolts loose. I know you replaced the MAP sensor, not sure if that is a BAP or MAP, the map will have a vacuum line going to the manifold the bap will just read the barometric pressure not manifold pressure, either way the boat would still run just crappy. I used to keep a TFI module in my car just in case. Now I keep a tps in my boat

@wish I have had a few intermittent TFI issues.That once replaced, problem solved Not saying that is the issue but they are cheap and easy to swap out They can cut out based on heat and then come back on when cooled down. That is what mine have done in the past And the Tfi can be relocated from the dist. Not the ecm that is in the kick panel on mustangs so no need to relocate

Will a RTP that is on a 2016 vapor fit on a 2018 Connelly GT? Aren't Radar and HO the same rtp mounting? Thanks

Isn't that what life is about? Master the core fundamentals of what you want to do well, then go back refine and repeat. The elite at their chosen endeavors don't do anything different than the rest of us, they just do it better.

@horton you need to add a "that was really funny button"

does it have a tfi? didn't you say you put a new distributor? I just bought a new one and it was bad, took quite a while to figure that out Also if you did replace dist and not TFI I would look at that for sure.

Who doesn't love a good vault video? great job

Does anyone know if there are any slalom courses on Buchanon Lake in Tx. They just opened a Mountain bike lift park, might be the best place in the world to live if they have slalom course or two

This horse is one tough sob.

much smaller drop, but narrow ramp between sage

newest drop/jump to the left of the ramp is a 18-20 sage brush gap jump that I didn't think I would do to many times so I build a secondary way around

Wakeboard population -1 waterski population +1 after that fall

I really really hate thieves good luck Pictures of the boats to post?

@Horton if you are going to block threads, block them from public view too. Clearly the rest of us don’t have valid opinions on the topic so why show it to us?

Good job @Than_Bogan Probably 95% of all good vaulters have pr’s from meets not practice Honestly if your best vault is in practice you are doing something wrong or you have something way bigger coming @Mike Gile she only transferred this Summer from Kentucky and was already a two time ncaa champ

Does anyone have any scoop on the lakes and lots there. Seems like the prices are dropping quite a bit and there seems to be a few for sale recently. We have been interested in a retirement place there for a while now

If you love it, live and eat for it, it only becomes too serious if you get an elitist attitude, but that is with all sports.

tape on the hull won't be as accurate as overhead though to much flex in the rope at slack moments for the human eye to gauge accurately. If you want to get down to specific numbers, I think overhead views are the only way to get accurate information at 43 if someone was able to get to: 10 degrees from perpendicular the effective rope length would be 32 feet, they would only lose about six inches of rope length. 5.5' reach At 15 degrees perpendicular to the boat pylon the effective rope length would be 31.4 feet for a 6.1' reach At 20 degrees perpendicular to the boat pylon the effective rope length would be 30.5 feet for a 7' reach. So how far up the pylon do people get at 43 off?

Would they have to wait in the water for the driver to accurately re loop the rope, or could they wait on the swim step? :/ Either I am sure the good vibe would be gone for the first ever 45 off pass attempt. What would the water temp be that day? What lake would it happen at? Who would be driving? What tournament would host it?

@eleeski your pole vault comparison is flawed horribly, I have been coaching women vaulters since they were allowed to compete. right from the beginning they have been coached with the same technique and training methods that the men have been using, meaning there was no learning curve only athletic ability. Nobody male or female knows how to vault from birth, I can promise you that. But they all have the same coaching and opportunity from the 50's through the 80's there was a steep learning curve for the men, that is why you have seen such a large rise in heights, every time they switched pole types they had to adapt to a new technique. The gap between men and women in the vault has been about the same and has remained the same "four feet" for college and elite vaulters three feet for high schoolers, meaning, men continue to mature and increase the gender gap. Every year across the world there at at least 500 men that can vault over sixteen feet, which is where the top female usually sits +- a couple inches and there are more female pole vaulters than men pole vaulters, which is a great thing for the sport.

What if Bruce decided to become caitlyn back in the 70's, or better yet do all his records he set, get to retro count as women's records? @bigtex2011 Bruce was a pretty good skier what if he decided to go back into the womens 6 or 7 he might be in now. That possibility is more real than you think.
