Alright jopes

Your right, nothing like the smell of two stroke!!!

Dont feel bad, I over filled mine when I gassed er up for the first time and the vibration caused er to leak a little $:-\$

Oh my!! Got home late tonight and there she was. Sitting in my living room staring at me with those wonderful words EskiMO written on the box. I ripped that box open and put my Z71 together in about 3 minutes. Picked her up, closed my eyes and started visualizing cutting those wonderful 10 inch holes and sitting in the shanty. I can't wait till morning when I go get my gas, mix, fill and fire her up.

I have stopped topping mine off completely due to fuel vibrating out when the engine is slicing holes in that hard water.

I never fill mine over half-full....never saw the reason, I guess...I don't drill a gazillion holes. (Many 'cause I'm physically able to do about 3-4 before spine gives out)

Yeah, that makes sense, I was just so excited I practically spilled gas everywhere

From now on, I think Ill linger around 3/4 for the most part

Why wait?!!!! Do it now! Just do it! I would/have. Haven't got in that much trouble.

Vex, I only fill mine up 3/4 full and have plenty of gas, and I usually drill ALOT of holes. If I ain't markin fish or catching em with in 10 or 15 minutes I'm moving!
Speaking of drilling, 15 degrees here! podda have 4 more days of it, and then still be cool so hopefully I'll be drilling through more then 5" of ice soon.

The repair shop called today, my MO's diagnosis is a faulty ignition coil. They say EskiMO customer service sent one out today and I should have my MO back nextweek.

.

I saw some skim ice forming on some ponds this morning, it was still there on the way home from work this afternoon.

Yes we have ice. Smaller water, but the bigger waters are starting to show signs of icing up

IceinKzoo · « **Reply #1307 on:** Dec 02, 2011, 10:23 PM »

She sounds awesome and feels wonderful. I will work on a few pictures for tomorrow. Can't wait for ice to bring my MO onto the hard water.

hoghammer · « **Reply #1308 on:** Dec 03, 2011, 10:03 AM »

p***d off because ONCE AGAIN, the weather morons predicted 6-8" snow this morning/today, with 20 degrees....it's now 36 and sprinkling.

That's the THIRD time in a month their predic for snow has been WAY wrong. Sure glad they don't make augers.

Its all good

my kid wrestles on the provincial team, I went on a nice 2 week holiday this summer to BC for the summer games to watched her wrestle, going to Sask next month and to Que this summer to watch her. Gives me and the wife an excuse to take a vacation

Rebelss · « **Reply #1314 on:** Dec 03, 2011, 11:06 AM »

My Dad moved to Victoria, BC after he retired. Was fortunate enough to go up there the next year and spend 2 weeks with him, saw all the sights, chartered a fishing boat, and had a blast. He passed away the next Fall.

hoghammer · « **Reply #1315 on:** Dec 03, 2011, 11:10 AM »

good thing you got up there to spend time with him. Its a beautiful place to go

jurrensb · « **Reply #1316 on:** Dec 03, 2011, 01:46 PM »

Well, thanks to the awesome helps by Rebels, I got my Mako started up for the first time. Started third short pull. Let it idle for a while then did the break in I saw on this page. She ran like a dream. No longer will I be afraid to go out when the ice gets to thick.

Only problem is that I look like a walking Eskimo advertisement. Have a red quickflip two that is now a single person. Have a Fatfish that is obviuosly red. Just bought red and black guide wear bibs and parka. I think I should be getting a sponsorship. Once the ice gets here I will show you some pictures of my whole MO set up.

Thanks for all the help from this page, I will try to check in here a little more, and tonight I will get that crest on the signature. Got to show my respect to the MO and all the MO products I have.

P.s. Still working on her name.
