sorry forgot to say its a yamaha fx-1 with 62t stator & flywheel... i do have a timing light, here is what i've done: made up a gauge with -45 through to +45 degrees and fitted it to the casings. i then put a mark on the flywheel that lines up with 0 degrees when the piston is at TDC...

thanks, so whats advance (in degrees) should i be looking for straight off the mark? its an OEM cdi so no need to check the timing up the rev range right now, i just want to get it set to standard then advance a little from there. i am pretty sure the flywheel has retarded the timing by...

hi guys, i am wanting to check the timing after fitting an aluminium charging wheel... i plan on finding TDC and marking it up on the flywheel & line that mark up with '0' on my degree chart, then turn the ski over (no plugs in) and take a reading so i can set the static timing to stock. am i...

looks awesome:notworthy:

P.S. Chris, i tried to PM you to say the Neighbour had the parcel! but your inbox is full.......... so, thanks again, one very happy customer! now, time to get this FX-1 back together...........

Would just like to offer a big 'Thank you' to Jetmaniac for a LOT of help and PM's with my order. As i expected with all the good reviews on here, his service was 1st class, especially as i changed my order loads of times! just recieved this little lot, doesn't seem much for over $800! but...

you guys are breaking bolts!? rather than stripping the ally threads? surely something isn't right there....... Studs Kawi style all the way for me........

got to say i had something from this guy (wetjet manifold), delivered to me in the uk. good guy to deal with, no problems at all.......

check out item no. 190516951872 not the ones i originally saw but this guy seems to be able to get the domes so he might be able to shed more light for you..........

almost certain i've seen those heads on evilbay, dont think they were made by any of the big names though........

just to finish this off, i have indeed taken the above advice and will soon be ordering an ADA girdled head. quick question, exactly how flat do the cylinders need to be for the head to seal ok and prevent the combustion from blowing the o-rings to bits? the reason i ask is that my cylinders...

as it goes i managed to get hold of a mint skat big hub impeller too so i think i will be selling the solas swirl and using the skat along with a TBM cone. once the ski is re-built i will post up my findings....

well I decided to go ahead and buy something, a solas 11/17 swirl (bearing in mind the post above regarding advice from impros). Hopefully this should be ok for me, I have both 650 & 750 nozzle set ups to play with. It just comes down to cash deciding if I install the afterburner cone. Do they...

thanks a lot for the info guys, i want a good set up but would like to try and avoid spending an un-neccessary fortune as i am sinking deep in this re-build! think i will try an sxr impeller of some sort, hopefully my local machine shop will be able to mod it to fit the 650 pump for me......

Cheers I think I am just going to have to try it and see how we go.... Unless anyone has any more advice?

hi guys, i have been doing a lot of research on impellers and to be honest seem to be getting more confused... i have seen a re-pitched SXR impeller (10/18) with a bit of a cut back and wondering if this will be good for hitting hard at the bottom with my fx-1 kawi pump?? i have read on...

Hi guys, i'm a bit confused by the head i took off my 61x egine.... to give you an idea of engine spec, its got factory pipe, 48mm ATP freestyle carb, carbon reeds & side exhaust (and the westcoast head). this motor was in need of a rebuild as it had scored pistons. i've had the cylinders...
