    Other Bpipe vs. PFP

    Since the dust has settled years ago, I found that the "B" pipe is good for a stock motor mod. The minute you start going bigger, use the PFP. The big problem with the PFP is that it isn't designed to fit with all the stock trimmings, 4.8 fuel thank, battery tray, ect. 97 SJ sums it up with...

    Other Bpipe vs. PFP

    I know this is a ancient thread, but how many of you are running the PFP on small bore motors? (701 and up). Or is every one still on the "B" pipe...

    701 Piston Bomb

    Looks like a traditional rear crank seal leak seizure. Pressure testing the crankcase (& looking for leaks) would be a good idea when you have a piston looking like this. Also running out of fuel like Kevbo mentioned is something to keep an eye on. Take a look at those 2 little basket filters...

    X-2/FX-1 Steering nozzle pivot refresh

    By now, most of the X-2 nozzles out there are pretty well shot out. This thread is a general what to do to get things tightened up again. Some of the sizing will be custom for your own "degree of current wear". Basically, you first need to clean up the 2 big holes on the nozzle, making them...

    Runs great on trailer, but not in water

    Bad reeds normally give a false rich condition. If everything else was good, the new reeds should clean & crispen things up. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Runs great on trailer, but not in water

    Did it ever run good? Is the motor all stock, no mods like head & pipe??

    Single carb on a 701

    Ok, how does it run?? I've seen most filters operate perfectly with partial fuel in them. Once the system reaches it's equilibrium (a balance of fuel and air under pressure) it just works. The aftermarket look alike stock filters have a filter media inside, (oem has a plastic screen) which clogs...

    Hood breather tubes

    Looks good. The 5200 is always messy and smeary unless you cover it up. My "I'm going to temporally fix this hood tube issue" is still looking that way & holding up. I used a hot glue gun & it looks messy too, but works. The stock FX-1 from the factory comes with the driest operating hood...

    FX-1 FX-1 144mm trim

    Most of these parts are from Mcmaster-Carr. The rest of the stuff was pieces I had lying around. This pump steering/trim section is only 1/2 of the system. The upper handlepole is the other 1/2. I use a 2005, long throw Superjet cable. I'll try to break down some of these pieces so it'll make...

    Down for the Count

    Hang in there! Had my knee "fixed" on Thursday too (+day #4). I've had a torn meniscus that has been bothering me for years. The pain sux but I've been through worse. Gotta get better to ski by the time the water warms up a bit. I'll be checkin in on ya...

    What could cause case sealant failure on almost new PV motor?

    JK, there might be a couple of things adding up to create this issue. Besides the cases, the crank should be checked in V blocks to make sure it's running true. If things get a little twisted, there will be all kinds of forces working against the bearings. The front and rear bearings (outer...

    FX-1 FX-1 144mm trim

    Here's a good example of galvanic corrosion on a Skat Trak mag pump. The stainless insert is still like new, but the OEM housing dissolves away. This is round #2 for this pump. I fresh water wash my ski every time and spray it down with Dupont teflon silicone spray. AND added a strip of...

    FX-1 FX-1 144mm trim

    Jp... After all this time the best all around ride plate falls back to the stocker. It's good in the surf and riding WFO across the bay. The problem with them is that they are made from thin lightweight aluminum that starts to degrade (electrolysis) after salt water use. They form cracks that...
