I was having some trouble getting my FX1 started today and I had to crank it longer than I usually do. Somehow the starter got stuck on and now it won't stop cranking. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. Now as soon as I touch the battery cables to the terminal it will start...

This is my 1995 Yamaha FX1. The original engine threw a rod and I put a stock 61X engine from my square nose Superjet into it. While I had it all apart I was really amazed at the condition that the rest of the ski was in. As far as I can tell it is all original and unmodified including the stock...

Can anyone help me find some original FX1 hood latches? Mine were missing when I bought my ski and I have been making do with a ratchet strap. However the rest of the ski is in almost perfect shape and I'd like to restore it to 100% original factory condition. What am I missing here? I thought...

Is it possible for me to change my screen name? I'd like to drop the 85350 and just go as streetroc if I could. I didn't see a way to do it in my account settings though

These shims fell out of the motor mounts on my FX1 when I pulled the engine. Which mounts do they go on? Also, what is this thing that goes in the cylinder head? Is it some kind of a knock sensor? My FX1 had it but the same 61x engine that I pulled out of my superjet didn't have it and the...

All stock single carb 701 in my '95 FX1. It was running great and I was just cruising along at about 25mph then it suddenly locked up and that was it. The machine shop said that it looked like lack of lubrication. I'm certain that I mixed the gas correctly though. Why did this happen? Do I have...

Well the stock engine in my FX1 threw a rod a couple of weeks ago. I have a stock 61x engine in my old square nose super jet that I would like to put in as a replacement. It looks like everything is the same and it should be a direct plug and play swap. Is there anything that I need to know...

I recently threw a rod in my FX1 and I'd like to take the 61x engine out of my square nose super jet and drop it in as a replacement. Is it okay to cut and splice the wires coming out of the stator? I can't see where there are any connections and it looks like they just go straight back to the...

I have no idea what happened. I was cruising along in the middle of the lake at about 30mph and it was running strong and making great power. It started to stutter a little bit and then it just quit. I tried hitting the starter button and I could hear the solenoid but the motor wouldn't budge...

So this just happened today. My feet came out of the tray while jumping wake and I wound up slamming down on top of my ski. I smashed my shin up pretty bad on the back of the tray but even worse, I broke the cast aluminum bracket that holds the steering plate in place. I'm afraid that getting a...

I've been looking for one of these for a while now and I finally got one. Paid $2500 for it with a single trailer which I thought was a fair deal. Its missing the hood latch but other than that its in very good original condition. I bought it from the second owner who said that it had always...

So I'm pretty sure I made a dumb mistake last year. I got a 701 SN last summer and sucked gravel into the pump. It tore up the prop and broke the pump shoe. I didn't know why it wouldn't accelerate or come out of the water and while I was trying to figure it out I took off the intake grate to...

This is how I have always done it and I find it to be much easier than messing around with a trailer. Since it's front wheel drive I can put it in park and set the brake to lock all 4 wheels so I'm not worried about it slipping down the ramp. I back it up until I hear bubbles and I know the...

Well I'm pretty sure I got gravel in the intake from pulling my 92 SN out of the water and onto a sandy beach all week at the lake house. I did a search and saw how to take pictures of the gap around the prop from the back of the pump. How bad does this look? I know the pump shoe will have to be...

I have a 92 square nose with a 95 701 motor. I've been riding the crap out of it all summer long and it has been running great but recently its developed a problem putting power to the water. The engine seems to run just fine but it just revs without accelerating. Its an intermittent problem...

Hey guys, I'm new to the site and this is my first post. I just got a 92 square nose a few weeks ago with a rebuilt 61x motor from a guy in NC. He's probably a member here. Real nice guy, we rode together for a bit and took the time to answer all of my questions and gave me a few tips. I've been...
