    Epoxy resin options

    Doing some epoxy testing today, I am using the RESINIST epoxy I got from overstock epoxy.com , it is 72 degrees here and 75% relative humidity, not ideal conditions but close enough , I am starting off with something rather mundane , fairing with microballoons filler. I purged the pumps of...

    Seadoo pump behind snowmobile engine

    Yeah I would say so lol. The Solas impeller I have is a 17-26 , it wouldn't do you any good , the main issue with snowmow engines is the porting , those are set up with a clutch system that gives them a running start usually 4000 + RPMS , you may not be able to overcome that without a custom...

    Thoughts on this purchase?

    I like Kawis so don't het me wrong here but PP550's are a PITA , 650'S , 750'S , 800'S and Superjets are all much easier to repair, rebuild, whatever.

    Seadoo pump behind snowmobile engine

    Yeah you need a much lower starting pitch and probably a couples of degrees on the ending pitch. An HX-GTI impeller could work with some rebend on the rear blades .

    Seadoo pump behind snowmobile engine

    You can't , at least without mods you can't , impeller backspacing and splines are different, Seadoo uses crown splined shafts, Kawasaki uses straight splined shafts.. What engine is that, how many HP is it rated at , how many RPMs is it turning or rev limited at , that would give me a general...

    Kv997 exhaust manifold

    The Seadoo rotary valve engines are set up that way with oil in the cavity , the worse that can happen is the seals start leaking and suck the oil out of the cavity . I too have concerns about the cylinder spacing , Seadoo went to reed induction on the 951's for that very reason ,if you had...

    Epoxy resin options

    Epoxy came in yesterday but it's nasty and raining here so I haven't checked it out yet , I will keep you posted when I do, the temp needs to get back up a bit and the humidity needs to go back down before I test it .

    Kv997 exhaust manifold

    I even looked up some Artic cat and Polaris snowmobile engines and I came up empty there as well , I do know that BRP stopped making the etec engines some time back, it possible they bought some of that tooling and modified it, who knows ?

    Buy a Superjet means buy something that is runnable and ridable , in this case it would be buy pieces of a Superjet.

    Kv997 exhaust manifold

    I looked through a bunch of Skidoo caaes on Ebay , and trust me I mean I really looked , I never could find any Skidoo case that looks exactly like this , in particular the water pump area on Skidoos is more of an oval shape and on the opposite side of the cases , the flywheel area is way...

    Thoughts on this purchase?

    Ski will run without any of that, if you are serious buy a battery , dribble some premix down the carb and fire it up before you purchase it , at least then you will have some idea of what you are getting into., if it doesn't run use that as a bargaining chip and pay accordingly , what is...

    Kv997 exhaust manifold

    I have no idea what that motor actually is , it looks similar to an Etec Skidioo engine but the front cover looks like a Yamaha and the crankshaft looks Skidooish but wit no gear in the middle, crank seals look like Seadoo 951 seals.

    Big pumps need big motors to push them , they put 155 pumps behind 701 62t motors in the XL 700 sit downs , the Waveventure 700's performed much better , same deal on the Seadoos GTI's 720 engine, 155 pump , really slow underpowered ski that ran at best 45MPH , The older GTI's with the 140...
