Pulling that impeller in a mag pump would be awesome. What hull were you racing that in? Assuming that was with the rest of your mini weapon setup 84mm, .8 squish, 200 compression, dual 46s, zeel, your sxr chamber, and a few other secrets?

Unfortunately for now I'm stuck with this 61x and was looking to go more aggressive than the previous templates that I have run. I've been following the other thread on "How to Turn Your 701 62T Into a Real Mini Weapon". Would you be open to a parallel thread on "How to get second place with...

Assuming these are all for 62T cylinders? I grabbed the "81mm bore 195 exhaust 65% Bore with 126 transfers", printed it out, and bolted it in for fun tonight. On my stock 61x cylinder the exhaust port was off fairly significantly, as were the transfers. I compared it with my yamanube template...

Multiple ways to delete them - WFO mentions a free and reversible option. I wanted something more permanent so after cleaning the drain holes really well I coated a pair of 8mm x 12mm bolts with JB/devcon and ran them in. No tap is needed so you don't need to worry about shavings.

I'm assuming the rebuild comments were in reference to my earlier post. There is no witchcraft or sorcery needed to know that a 37 year old unmaintained engine is going to need some work. In a less direct fashion I could have said tear down and inspection at some point in the future. I chose...

Hull looks mostly original outside of the nicely updated chinpad. Since you are already diving into the carbs I'd recommend doing the rebuild yourself and even a little home porting as Quinc mentioned. I've run SBT cranks purchased through JetManiac but wouldn't go complete motor if you are...

Just saw the pic - that is a stock headpipe with maybe an upgraded tailcone. You should do the dry-pipe mod for sure. It's virtually free outside of time and yields a nice improvement. FWIW I didn't even add a nipple on my tailcone and just routed all water overboard. When you mod the...

If the engine really hasn't been touched in 37 years it's going to need a full rebuild. The finicky starting is also likely from an air leak. Since you mentioned rebuilding the carb and reeds just order an exhaust gasket too and do a pressure test to confirm. Depending on how bad it looses...

Thought I would post some updates on the cylinder. My first attempts to remove the piece of screw lodged in the sleeve with just sandpaper didn't even make a dent. I was able to make some headway with a tiny flat pick but there was still a little remaining that had to come out. It sounds...

Appreciate the responses. I've double checked the cylinder and there aren't any places that catch a nail above the ports - just some scuffing. However it looks like part of a screw lodged just below the boost port and that definitely catches a nail but is raised and not a scratch. You can see...

Quick background - engine is a 61x/62t that has 19 hours on the clock since a full rebuild with a new crank from JM. Was out riding and dropped power but made it back to shore. Pulled it into the garage and started troubleshooting. Compression check passed initially (190/190), went through...

1996 - 362lbs. Full tank of gas, no fire extinguisher, -3 AC pole w/ OVP and fat bars, WCF lowered hood and nose piece, b-pipe, small AGM battery, scupper and single bilge Assuming my foam is significantly waterlogged as it drips out of the ride plate bolts. Would it be worth it to refoam and...
