I did come across a youtube video with showtime freestyle and a carbon flstwater ski that had a built 701 with full spec 48s with the wax headpipe and manifold but had the limited chamber with a 760 zeel and 155 pump that would do flatwater flips with combos..it was pretty impressive especially...

Some ocean stab action

Take and post some pics of the ski, engine and carb you're working on. A good pic of the fuel line routing as well. Without any visual, we're all just guessing at this point.

What size pump?

A riding friend has a jm 718 or 735 in a tigercraft v3 with same bolt ons with a 155 oem pump with a 6/12 skat and 90mm nozzle I believe, he's at 80 pilot with stock flame arrestor, 1 screen, no chokes 95g spring. Might be worth trying a 80 pilot if you're having an off idle hesitation. Leave...

With the sx pump, definitely do not cut the pipe. The mixed flow 550 pump puts a pretty hard load on the engine at lower rpms. That's why kawasaki developed the "breadbox" exhaust for that pump. The aftermarket half pipes are a longer tuned length designed for that pump. The full pipes like...

Which carb is it? It sounds like you got the diaphragm on the metering side of the carb on backwards and it's not opening the needle and seat to pull fuel in. Did you change the spring for the needle and seat when you went through the carb? In my experience the cheaper carb kits work ok for a...

im not sure how much it helps in the long run but id imagine it cant hurt but ive started spraying fogging oil in my engine after each ride, i blow the water out as good as possible then while the engine is still running ill spray a several second burst through each carb. then after i shut the...

I made this bracket for my trim cable on my ski out of 1/4 inch aluminum angle stock on a milling machine. I have a kavinci pump for a krash ski in my superjet. Some quick measurements you could easily make something. Or send them to me and I'll make you one on the milling machine at work one...

Or could pretty easily just make one out of some aluminum angle stock

Me personally I'd stick with whatever you already have. The x cylinder will have slightly more bottom end and a little snappier throttle but will sign off quicker than the t cylinder. The t cylinder has an exhaust port height difference if around 1mm higher port which will in general make a...

If I had tried to get on a 1000+ cc freestyle ski when I first started riding 13 years ago, I woulda killed myself. I started with a 550 to learn on and rode that for several years. Spent a few years learning to modify and make it faster, and handle better. That ski taught me soo much about 2...

There are definitely cheaper options out there no doubt. However, to me, it was worth little extra money for convenience as well as super easy clean up and ease of use.. the method you mentioned will work just fine too.

You need some tray time on a non flip ski first otherwise you're just gonna hurt yourself, or better yet sink said flip ski. Most all flip skis do not have bilge pumps or foam in the tray. They do not like sitting in thr water for long periods of time, they will take on water and will absolutely...

What are you riding now?

I like the 62t cylinder personally, that's what I run. Its a thicker, stronger casting less prone to cracking, and can be bored out more than the 61x cylinder. The only advantage to the 61x cylinder is slightly lower exhaust port timing I believe the x port is 1mm or so lower. That will affect...

There's 2 v3s in my group both with similar setups but both ride a little different. They're a pretty loose ski. I definitely like it a lot better than the v2 because of the longer tray. I don't believe the xfr I rode had sponsons either. There's soo. Many little things that dramatically change...

Not trying to be combative haha. Ive ridden one xfr wasn't a big fan of it, had a shorter ride plate on it and i prefer a longer tray. I couldn't see myself riding it that long of a distance comfortably. I'm sure it's more comfortable with a longer plate and pole. And body weight and size plays...
