The unicorn manifold! Good luck. There out there but everyone is holding on to them like gold in a post apocalyptic Sanrio..

I re read your post. Your looking for the engine conversion correct?
I’d call Robin.. Rhaas is a great company who will actually pick up the phone!

Took the ski out Sunday. Worked all the bugs out of it! Absolutely is one bas ass girl! Pulls better then my buddy’s FX1! Only problem I’m getting some water intrusion. No idea where.. I’m going to fill the hull with water and see if its leaking out/in somewhere. Hopefully its just a bad hood...
Black market makes a nice one. A little more $$ but you get a billet pump shoe! And they are in stock. Rhaas makes a sweet kit. My best friend runs one. Both are well made. Which ever you chose you wont be disappointed..

Well, I shredded a tire about 10 miles into my 75 mile to Vermont. A few phone calls and a great friend later i made it back home. Couldn’t get the tire off to swap with the spare it was so shredded! Ski in my bed and trailer in his bed. Sucky day yesterday!
Going to put the coupler cover on...
Looking good!
I also went with the black market pump conversion and it didn’t specify weather or not to use the rubber pump seal. In there video they dont use one. I got mine in with a little cussing, bleeding and beer. Seeems to be working great so far!
I also went with the 9-15 hooker from...
On a different note:……
Those of you that have built a Yamasaki, how do you get the coupler cover on? It looks like i have to take the tank out and pull the motor forward to get it under the Yamaha Ebox. Last thing i want to do after getting it aligned!
Maybe i can just take the Ebox out and...
Putting it the lake this afternoon! Don’t know yet. Fingers crossed!
I’m a tobacco farmer and this is crunch time on the farm right before harvest. With this COVID chit nobody wants to work. Guess there all getting paid to stay home???? :(
If my workers would show up half the time i would have...
Hoping to get it in the water this afternoon. Will report back.
As far as the hulls, the SX hull hands down! Will be quieter from the rear exhaust and give you more water box options. I’m running a super trap and it fits nicely up in the front and sounds like a stock super jet.

So my 1990 440 has Ben sitting in the barn for a decade. We decided to use it for my daughters YamaSaki build. 440/701/750 pump.
Got it on the water Sunday. Had a bad vibration that i think i figured out. Besides that it ran like a raped ape! When i got it back in the shop working on the...
Fix the exhaust leak asap then you can rule that out! The smallest exhaust leak can cause the biggest headaches! My guess it will solve your problem.
Just my $.02

Used a piece of square stock and feeler gauges. Only could do the top and sides but its all flat. I’m using a OLD rubber dampener.(doesn’t look worn but its 30 years old ish….) Have about a 1/8 inch between the fingers and the flat on the couplers.
The exhaust I’m using is a FPP manifold and a...
I’m using the mounts RHAAS supplied me with the conversion. Cut that hull gusset by the battery tray. It was hitting. Still had the vibration. I think the couplers weren’t aligned perfectly. I moved the motor around and it looks good now. Need to put the tank back in and try it.
Makes sense...
He’s a wicked cool guy! Talks like a farmer/trucker….Love it!
Give him a call. Believe me your not bothering him. U bought a product and dont have it. I’d be all over him and ups! Your gonna love it!
I think i figured mine out. Coupler out of alignment! Hopefully get it squared away!

Check the small fuel filter in the carb on the diaphragm side. When they get clogged it will do exactly what your describing.
Good luck!

This isn’t in a super jet. It’s in my Yamasaki 550/701/750 pump build. Bought a brand new Jetnetics flywheel and installed it on the 61x when prepping motor to go into ski. This is a new motor to me from a friend. All fresh water, looks like it is brand new on the outside. 150/hole compression...
