What's that, a failed water skipping attempt? 

[Kawasakinut]

stewart Check your crank. Water might have went through the airbox,carb,cylinder and finally the crank. Oh wait will that raise or lower the compression?

Ba ding ding ding da ding ding ding da blur blurrr blurrrrr blah-TSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Just wondering.........did you try and jump it and come up short?  Or.....try to powerplow though it?  Or....decided to skip the rest of the winter and go right into jet-ski season.  Fess up, we need the rest of the story.

jet skiing,,,,,its a short cut beetween to chat piles but the water leval was up and its like quik sand mud

Would be curious to know the results after your internal inspection.  Any water get in though the pipe?  If so, did you stand it on end ?  Better yet, how many kicks to get her restarted?

[stewart]

started on first kick

[DEZADX]

Of course, never doubted that for a second.  Now, if that had been a 4-stroke?  Hmmmm........

man i hate wild pigs. i was stationed in germany when i was in the army. i worked on a howitzer crew (somewhat like a tank but cannot shoot on the move) anywhy we'd go to the field to train and in the middle of the night you would hear them ramming vehicles and snorting. and these howitzers are made of like 1inch thick compressed aluminum bodies. crazy stupid hogs.     

[DEZADX]

You have a howitzer and are surrounded by crazy stupid hogs?  Isn't the solution obvious?  Of course, that might be a bit overkill.  Then again, so is a KX 500 against any competition.

[Kawasakinut]

yeah you could kill a dozen or so hogs with 100 pound arty shell  .

I'd like to mount one on the truck for the purpose of traffic abatement here in So Cal.  Then theres this one neighbor that complains alot......hmmmmm.......lol
