FX-1 Removeing The Pump Shoe

[driftmaster]

I did shave 4/5 pounds off the hood.

If your shower drain ever breaks in your house you can borrow the one off your fx1, thats gotta be worth something.

Haha, wondering who was going to point that out. Only if I had a mill.

 

[driftmaster]

Ported the scoop grate. Round the leading edge and sharpened the trailing edge. Like a airplane wing.

Got the shaft in today. I'm so impressed with the 650 pump mod! Thanks JD!


Started on the mat. You need to cut a precise pattern and lay it like carpet, a side at a time. A heat gun is a must! I will stop by the hobby shop tomorrow to get some RC car tire glue and zap-it. Its flexible and will help seal the edges. You can use it like a turkey baster and inject it in areas you may have missed.

I did wind up putting a 1mm shims on the rear pump tabs. It was close but it centered better with the shims.

Lookin' good!

More pad work tonight, it is time consuming! .

You can see how I injected the hobby glue to get the pad to suck down. Just poke a hole and squirt it in. Turned the stock handle pole pad stop a 180* and turf it.

 

[driftmaster]

Keep the the water from getting under the pad.

 

[driftmaster]

More pad work tonight. I will have over 20 hours alone in it.

 

[tnj4life]

20 hours, good grief. I guess turfing mine is out of the question, jk. I dred mine. Yours looks great.

 

[tshank123]

20 hours. Thank you. Here I thought all of this was just easy for you.

 

[driftmaster]

Finished pad work!

 

[tnj4life]

Looks great. Have you turfed much before, looks like you have. I like the white accents. That ski is too nice to ride now.

 

[special fx]

OK, Now we need the ride report!

 

[driftmaster]

Fex-X woke me up at 10:30 this morning with parts from Parker.

I have not turfed anything like this before. It was not easy (tshank). Like I said a heat gun is your friend and a must! Hopefully I will be up you way before long, don't mind helping you. I could have used a extra hand on mine at times. I tint windows for a living, cutting and pasting precise patterns all day. "to nice to ride"? What, I'm going to beat the hell out of it, but thanks!

I have 3/4 sheet of white left and some pad. Not so sure you want that in a tray tho.

OK, Now we need the ride report!

Ride report is coming soon! I know the pump is going to hook and put the power to the water. I cant wait.

 

[driftmaster]

Put a new 440/500 Hydro Turf seal on. Split it down the middle works perfect! Hood fits nice and tight! Plus you get two for one.

tnj you need a new hood seal?

 

[driftmaster]

I should be able to shed some water. My bar switch I got from Parker is bad it wont shut off.? Guess I will have to send it back.

Started putting the motor together. Does Pro-x pistons not use a spacer between the piston and the rod on the pin?

 

[tnj4life]

My wiseco pistons didnt use the oem piston pin spacers, if they wont fit you dont need them. I wonder if that hood seal is big enough for my sn? Its in dire need of a seal. If it will i'll buy it off of ya. You got a pressure tester made for your motor? I have one if you need it. Its kinda ghetto but works.

Mine didn't, but that was my first rebuild. I was wondering the same.
