    Woodruff Key Round Side Down or Up?

    I scavenged and cleaned up both a functioning Bendix and Flywheel from another engine and now am trying to install the Flywheel onto the FX-1 crankshaft. Is the Woodruff Key installed Round Side up or down? Note: Although it doesn't show it in my FX-1 Service Manual it does show that the...

    Bendix Spins but Doesn't Engage 5-7 Times out of 10

    Ding ! Ding ! Ding ! We have a Winner: @Storbeck You can seen the third piece of the bendix plate inside the bendix here: I have a spare 650 engine. Is it the same bendix as in the 701 61x? But I am a bum because I left the flywheel cover off and it has surface rust on it. Can I clean...

    The magnet which is cracked. Can I just buy a new magnet? Or do I need to buy a new flywheel? If so any suggestions where and what to buy? There is too much oil in the stator area. What can I use to clean it? Brake Cleaner? Carb Cleaner? CRC Electrical Contact Cleaner? See another piece...

    Bendix Spins but Doesn't Engage 5-7 Times out of 10

    What is that piece of metal poking through the flywheel hole above? Here is a close up of it removed: The Cold Fusion Flywheel Holder for Yamaha is simply the best designed tool out there. The generic Ebay Flywheel Puller needs the three holes widened out to fit properly, but once done is also...

    Bendix Spins but Doesn't Engage 5-7 Times out of 10

    1995 FX1 with stock 61x engine. Yesterday it went from maybe every 1 in 10 starts to 5 to 7 in 10 times when I hit the start button the bendix would just whiz/spin but not engage the flywheel. Is the bendix spring broken? I can't remember, can I get the bendix out without removing the...

    Are Hurricane hulls trash?

    @fastgtfairlane What new hull would you consider, if any, would be the same or better than your Superfreak Badass?

    300/440/550 JS550 vs SN superjet for playing on lakes?

    I am the crappiest rider here so I am not the best person to ask, but IMHO the Fx1 rides nothing like a SJ or a 550. I liked riding the 550sx but wanted more power so I thought the Fx1 would fit the bill. Yes, the Fx1 turns on its rail like the 550, but it is much harder to ride than the...

    300/440/550 JS550 vs SN superjet for playing on lakes?

    Yes, Buy the SN SJ and ride it for a while. Coming from a 550, it will take a while to figure it out. It rides completely different than the 550. The SJ will NOT "have the same "light weight" playful characteristics of the JS" The 550 is a pump with a hull. You lean it to turn. It has a...

    My ski's were stolen.

    Jesus did not come to Earth to die on the cross to redeem our sins because people are "basically good." The core belief of Christianity is that people are basically bad. I.e., are "sinners." No one deserves the "benefit of the doubt." Make sure the people in your life "earn your respect."...
