    The little 122mm pump actually works pretty good on a bone stock ski, put anything with some power in the ski and it lacks badly, the FX1 with the 144 conversion is a really nice setup.

    Ok I have this one left, it was modified so you can adjust the water flow in the headpipe and it could use a paintjob , it is a freshwater part , I ran it on my ski for a while it works great,

    Actually it's worse than that, the pump size is 122 mm , in comparison a Waverunner 500 has a 133 MM jet pump , I believe the Jet n cat and Jet n spray used up most of the 6m6 engines and 500 -650LX jet pumps, some if those boats came with 133 pumps and later models used the 144 pumps, the...

    I just started back working a month ago and trust me it's rough, my first goal was to make it through the day without a nap, I am there now but if I really work hard one day I am pretty much out of it the next day, hopefully it will even out after a period of time.

    62T Starter Issue

    it's not so much the speed of the starter but the torque you need to worry about it should torque pretty hard when you apply voltage to it, one more pearl of wisdom, a lot of times when you pull starters and put voltage to them they will work, starters with worn brushes get knocked around just...

    Race gas is required when you run compression over 170-180 PSI, below that threshold you can run 91 octane pump gas, the reason is detonation will occur and quickly destroy the engine. Porting usually lowers compression slightly, more compression offers more bottom end hit but it is not...

    The truth is all of the big guys got that way by learning what didn't work, that's right they modified exhaust and transfer port widths to the point the engine no longer made usable power, then used what they learned from their mistakes to build something that did work, this is why they don't...

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

    We always used a thin pink film of red loctite to secure the beading in the cases.

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

    What you are seeing on the bearings and the cases is called fretting and it is caused by the bearings moving around in the cases, you can put the cases together torque the bolts and check the line bore with a bore gauge, then measure the bearings, it may be that the cases are not flat also, in...

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

    yes and only Mr Ski still uses that stuff. That sealant looks like black RTV or possibly Right Stuff, neither is Gasoline safe and gas will dissolve either. Right Stuff is more heavy bodied and looks almost like rubber when dried, Silicone dries shiny Right Stuff dries dull.
