Hey All,

Well we have just bought a house and the toys need to go

My jet ski - a 1998 model TS770 Artic Cat (Otherwise known as a tigershark) needs to go to make room for all the house goodies.

I'll be upfront and tell you that it needs a little bit of work to the carby - due to a slight air leak - but nothing to major.

The ski has provided us with hours of fun down on the river and is more than capable of towing water skiers as well as wake boarders.

The ski seats two people, has a 55 litre fuel tank, 15 litre storage bin and a 770cc suzuki twin cyclinder motor - i believe it is a 2 stroke model.

The top speed of this ski is approx 60mph.

Whilst this is an american ski - made by artic cat who are the largest provider of snow mobiles and all terain vehicles in the USA - there is no need to worry about parts. With a Mikuni carbeuretor and interchangable parts from other skis such as yamaha and polaris you are sure not to have a problem.

You may ask - why dont i just get it fixed and sell it for like $6K - well the answer is i just cant be bothered - just want to get in to my new house and pay that off.

If you have questions about the ski feel free to call me on 0421 374 178 or email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

The ski comes with trailer and both are still regestered - allthough i just got the rego papers to renew them which is a total of about $100.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
