So when I bought my fx-1 in october it was totally stock in awesome shape. The ski hadn't been started since late 97 early 98, compression was an even 145. I rode it a couple of times, winterized it and put it up. During the winter I did some mods, I put a new FX-1 Factory pipe kit, Msd...

Just got back bout an hour ago my self quik.. It wasn't near as cold as I figured it would be and all my mods I've been installing seem to be working like they should so sweeet!

Need to bump this.. So I have everything I was gonna install installed and I'm pretty sure the carb is rejetted and set right. I'm hoping to go try it out at the lake tomorrow. My question is on the FP headpipe to adjust I take a small allen wrench and turn the little screw in and out right...

Ok so I missed LSFR, gotta make this one. I saw talk of multiple dates, have you people decided on one for sure yet? And I did I miss the exact location of the secret camp grounds? How close is it to highpoint marina? I'm just trying to get some driving times in mind

So I needed to find a place to purchase new jets for my Factory Pipe and Harrison saw the post and offered to send me an extra FPP set he had. Big props:woot: and thanks:arms: for saving me the hassle of finding them myself. I know they don't cost much but for someone to hook it up just to...

Yea I was thinking FP should have sent the jets.. No such luck, maybe I should call them! The only thing that was used during install in anyway was a little bit of windex. I only asked about motorcycle shops is because I know harley uses mikuni in some of their applications. So maybe my...

So where do I get all the new jets and what not for the carb? Nothing came with the pipe. Can I get them local maybe like from a motorcycle shop being that mikuni carbs are used widespread. Thanks

Will do. I'm out having some beers to unwind, so tomorrow after I get the tank and everything back in. Just gonna be a stock looking fx for this summer. Special fx, thanks for your info bout the pipe. I've been nervous it was an imposter pipe lol

Alright so that was the biggest bitch I've experienced! But the hardware is in the boat and mounted!! I have the water line from the bulkhead to the bottom of the FP manifold. I have the water line from the head to the top of the FP headpipe. The only thing that puzzles me is that for the...

Hey will a roundnose setup work on an FX-1 also without modifications?

Quick questions.. Can I go buy some normal screw clamps to use instead of the otikers which I HATE! and how important is it to get every single bit of the old gasket off before installing the new one?

Great that's what I thought about the holes, I just wanted to be sure! And about prying I guess that makes sense, I've just heard 61x cylinders are prone to cracking so I didnt just wanna tweak away. Thanks ox oh and FP says to cut 3/4" off the waterbox hose.. That sound about right?

Cool I've got everything off including the 8 12mm bolts that hold stock manifold on the cylinder. It's stuck on there, what's the safe way to get it off? Also if your standing on the mani side of the boat and looking down right above the top two left side mani bolts there were two bolts...

LOL!:grumble: They have more!

So UPS just dropped off my new unmolested Fx-1 pipe. I'm proud lol! Anyways anyone have an explanation of how to remove the stock exhaust, like where's the best place to start! I already have tank, and battery out. Also should I just follow their intructions to install the FP or do you...
