Tried all of those trucks, even used 2 cheetahs. Finally a tube was the trick. Inflated it enough the get the beads to touch the rim, then inflated like normal, left the tube in for now. Gonna wait a couple days and break just the too brad and pull the tube out. Thanks for the help though 👍🍻

I bought some wheels from Kartek last week, they sold me the bolt in 7/16 valve stems. Problem is on such a narrow rim, the valve stem hole is slightly on the curve of the bead so these stems leak very slowly. Is anyone else running this narrow of a wheel and if so, did installing a rubber stem work for you or did you have to run tubes?? TIA

If you take it for what it is it can be fun, As I have recommended to many people with serious questions, go to the socal web page! The FB page is for quick help or pic bragging! Don't let the trolls get to you. It's still the classiest FB boating page out there. If you don't believe me join the river whips page, mostly, 99.8%  good people but still alot of creepers! I could not imagine managing a page that large. Brad does a good job! So keep posting while I shovel snow!

Definitely agree with you. Theres a few bad apples on the socal page but Brad does a good job of weeding out the douchbags. For the most part its pretty fun, but I also agree with Challenger........some of the advise these guys give lol, im surprised their boats even float.

I'd be wondering why you're not getting enough water to the headers. I would think that if you're running the most common set up, there shouldn't be any problem pushing water through the headers.

What are your set-ups like? Do you guys have the water line coming from the t-stat housing to the Bassett t-valve to the headers? The t-valve has a ball and spring in it that goes in a certain way to work right. Sometimes they stick or the spring breaks.

Sometimes minerals and scale can build up in the lines and fittings.

They sell restrictors that limit the flow. These could be plugged up. Do you know if you have one?

Just some things to check if you haven't already.

The Basset t is hollow, I only run the valve near the seat. That's why I am so baffled by it because I have blown air through everything and all seems clear. If i open the valve and blow air from the line coming off of the tstat housing, you hear the air coming out of the exhaust. When I'm running and open the valve,  you hear the exhaust tone change, the valve gets hot as if water is flowing through it but, no steam. So it may be getting a little bit of water, but not enough to stream like it did the first time I ever took this boat out. I'll check those resteictors, if it has them. Thanks.

Except now I have a slight misfire but, it's not because if the plugs.

Bostick to the rescue!!!! If it has never been machined before, I would think you could just have them all machined and polished equally and be fine but, I'm no expert by any means.

For sure I have had 2 boats I had to replace those wires on

yeah my msd box is in front to keep it away from water and all of the wiring is all neat inside a mesh loom so, im not rearlly looking forward to tearing into it lol. Im gonna run a voltage drop test on the power side and the ground side tonight to see what I get, for all I know it could be a corroded ground and im chasing the power source.

Im going to follow this thread to see what responses you get. Ive got a similar problem. Ive got a slight misfire that seems to be getting worse. I think its a voltage drop problem because I also have a problem with not wanting to start. My starter is a new one, battery has a full charge and sometimes the starter will click if you start it with the key but if you run a jumper wire from the battery straight to the starter, it cranks fine so, I think they are related. If you see or smell smoke, maybe just check for loose wires under the dash. Maybe one of the wires on the back of the ignition switch could be loose causing your ignition to cut out. Electrical isn't my strong suit so, hopefully someone smarter will chime in soon lol. Good luck bud !
