x2 questions

1 water coming out of pisser is hot i am using a ocean pro head with the 25 cc dome, the exhaust water is hot also i have rear exhaust and on one ride i had barefeet it was hot is this normal, when it gets warmer up here i was going to try the stock head, its not steam so i dont think its the head gasket, the cooling lines are on the right way

2 the ski cavitates a little at very low speed when about to take off and then it hooks up i am using a 15 prop which is brand new and smaller pump cone, is this normal

Sounds like your pump is not sealed up good, air will pull from the back until you get moving.

Mario, I tried running a 15.5 on my brothers 750 x2, and it did the exact same thing. Switched to 9/17 and the problem went away. You have a 750 in that ski right?

My pisser is hot to the touch. I wouldnt be too worried as long as you dont boil water on the motor.

I have to agree, them 650 motors seem to run hot with single cooling.

its a 650 motor i think i sealed the pump good maybe retry again, i can take things apart real quick on this ski, this thing is like a go cart on water lots of fun, i love the sound of the ski it reminds me of the grand prix yamaha two strokes

When I first bought my X2 and I rode it barefoot I was scared that the water was too hot. I remember thinking that it was darn near hot enough to burn you.

 

[ADDict]

My old X2 would almost burn you. When I would ride the hood, or just do something crazy and end up with my foot up on the rail, it caused me to jerk back and eat it a few times.

jerk back and eat it a few times.

just a few :nono:

I have the simular problem also on my 91 650 x2. The engine actually does get pretty when its running...splashing water on it will cause it so sizzle off...any suggestions why?
