If no air leaks and the engine feels like it wants to run on. You're prolly too lean, open the bottom screws a 1/2 turn ( its extreme but it's just to see if it's any different)

open your needles, you might be running lean. Also check the carbs to see if they are all the way on the manifold, Some manifold studs will hit the bottoms of the carbs shafts and not let them seat properly.

full spectrums have the returns drilled out and run a jet in the return line. Are you returns restricted at all?

Best running 550 i ever rode. Just kidding, it was a very well tuned, solid ski. It had the perfect freestyle powerband. It didn't have a stroker crank or $1000 set of carbs on it either. He also rode it the entire weekend without lifting the hood. (of course tailstands aren't...

I'm fighting a similar dilema, my platform hasn't been around and in standups for over 13+ years, it's much harder motor combo to perfect in just a couple of months (I'll be lucky if it runs). I'm sure those streched out choppers don't perform like sport bikes, but somehow the choppers are...

I'm in.

You should start a thread on what you've done to that fx1. I'd be interested in seeing your build.

Is that fx1 the one with the 144 mag in it? Have you run it yet.? It looks like it could be insanely fast.

Very nice, I'm jealous. Those waves look great. Saturday was one of the coldest we've had all year. It was a balmy 2 degrees.

I can't believe you didn't look me up. We went riding the day before and day after thanksgiving. Make sure you call next time. I'll always have an extra ski you can ride while you're here. I've changed alot of things since I rode it a couple of weeks ago. I don't know how it runs now...

800 It's an insane amount of fitting and testing to get it working. I finally have a setup that out performs my previous best setup (team scream 5mm stroker) but it took several years to get it there. The support and custom parts are not out there for the 800 platform. You can ask the top...

if you land your hull on its side and you don't have an oem seal it will leak water in. The hood lifts off the seal enough to let quite a bit of water in. The oem gasket has a lip to help prevent water from going straight in.

I will ask and get back to you. I never asked the name of the company who did the work. He said it was a machine shop nearby. I'll tell you if i can find out.

Another idea would be to use the gp1200r shafts, they have a slightly larger spline area (bigger diameter) than the sj shafts. The driveshaft could be cut down and resplined with the larger splines. Those shafts hold up well in high hp gp12r and gp13rs. Why do they wear so fast in the...

The company that does them for jeff, did my custom shaft for my xjet. It's titanium and it looks like the spline piece is pressed on somehow. I'd bet they lathe down a damaged one and install the same piece. My shaft is titanium and the spline end is some kind of hardened steel because the...

Paul's the one to worry about. I'd love to know what he's building.

I was cleaning out my shop and found what I think is a real nice waveblaster driveshaft. Does anybody know the length of one so I can measure and see if that's what it is? I'm talking about the long one that has the prop threads.

you can get everything but the side rails done in one sheet.

can't wait to ride with you again. Are you in for Galveston? I haven't ridden since thanksgiving I don't know if i'll remember how.

except this one is not an xjet, notice the lack of "wings"
