yes, but it will be harder because you have to make a 750 pump shoe fit. I'd just trade your 750 pump for a 650 unit

anything can be made to work, its just how much effort do you want to expend doing it? and then you have a kawi pump which is not the best setup IMO. its harder to align and not a great supply of parts or props. much easier to a yami setup. I understand you have the parts, I would still not do it. again thats just me. I know of some that went the kawi route and wish they had not. cheers

not at all. you will need to cut the mount tabs off the wear ring and reweld in the correct spot. a little grinding on the nozzle tabs, lots of grinding to clear the rideplate, and more to open the pump shoe or install the 144 shoe is better but more work and money. its been covered a good amount of times with pics and such.

that may be easier to install but how did you align the pump?

Just stick pump shaft and adjust the pump cone side by side and you will be fine.

I have read all the threads, and I see lots of glass work. how is that easier? I see nowhere on how to correctly line up the pump. just sticking it in is not gonna cut it. with the yami setup the shaft can be centered to the hole in the hull and shimmed to be centered. as well as the intermediate shaft and the motor. depending on the slop on your shaft and prop you can be off by quite a bit and then you have problems. add in the fact that the tray is now modded and if done incorrectly possibly not level. makes the problem worse.
I understand its easy to gloss over the little things, but then its the little things that get ya.
people are gonna do what they are gonna do but in the interest of HELPING each other I want to make sure to provide the important details to make sure nobody regrets their decision with either install. its not what I like vs what you like (sj vs kawi age old grudge) its about the best way to do it. both paths have merit and both have hurdles. modding a wear ring seems a little less work then tray and bearings and no definite way to align it.

that is the yamaha setup. Bonzai bob did it for them originally.

I can't see why there is more problem centering the kawi than the yam .
if you stick an half motor with coupler you will be able to center all setup yam or kawi . Don't use stock coupler for that but a new billet set.
All the mesures for level are here . I was off for the rear of the pump and just add stock shims ...
No yamy kawy war here i just find the work to fit the ride plate easier on the kawi .

10mm has an FX-1 with a 701, B pipe, and stock pump. he says it has an 18/24 impeller in it and says it jumps out of the water so bad he can barely hang onto it. :dunno:

its all relative - I don't think he's ridden a big pump ski

he says he had it out with some superjets and an sx-r, riding them also for comparison, and he states his fx blew them away on the bottom. I thought an 18/24 would be way too much prop for that setup i/e mostly stock 701, but hull is lighter? :dunno: he says it's almost too much for him to handle.

I've ridden a 122mm FX-1 and 144mm FX-1 side by side - huge difference in low end response. The midrange and top end can be really good with either pump

but how does he get such good low end performance with such a high pitch prop on a mostly stock 701? is it because the pump is so small?
I mean, my 400/750 conversion will rip off the bottom like that and has a 19 degree prop in a 440 pump, but 18/24 seems like a lot of pitch to me to be getting that kind of low end.

18/24 is around the typical pitch for fx-1 122mm aftermarket props
