I dont understand how they can charge you double for 1 more axle which is what they do in some instances . Because they can. Simple extortion.

this is why my wedding band is 10ct, absolutely plane band. If I loose it I could run to wal mart and get another and she'll never know! My wife on the other hand insists on riding with her rings that cost more than both skis and my truck put together.

My peak speed says 640mph..had it on on a airplane a while ago.

FYI Most newer Garmin® GPS units are waterproof in accordance with IEC 60529 IPX7. IEC 60529 is a European system of test specification standards for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical equipment. An IPX7 designation means the GPS case can withstand...

look up 'vacuum hose' at mcmaster.com, there is some stuff that looks about right. Crush-Resistant Flexible Polyethylene Vacuum Hose

Well I run a stock d-cut. I cant see what good an extended would do you except for high speed running on flat water. I pretty much suck at freestyle so take that FWIW.

has it round or square covers on the sides? I'm just thinking of this because one reason to run an aftermarket manifold is just so you can run a newer SBN/square carb. They also have two screws but have replaceable internal jets (plus the screw adjustments are different).

aftermarket manifold. Is it the stock carb?

I'll tell you what, even if you get it going with a fresh battery / new starter, you may still have a bendix on its way out. A really fast starter will mask a bad bendix, for a little while. On a Yamaha the bendix comes out the front (do not need to remove starter/exhaust but you need to pull...

if its really rusted they might not take it full value as a core either. start hunting ebay, but really even if you get a deal the labor cost of install is going to exceed the value of the ski.

The little man in the red rash guard is my Paul (19 mo). Thanks for posting the pic, between riding and chasing him around I didn't get any myself. I haven't actually had pj riding on the fx1 yet -- waiting till he can comfortably float in a pfd. (He loves moms raider though)

I got rid of mine and glassed over the screw holes years ago. No reason for it really, its not like that little hunk of plastic is going to protect anything in a collision. (If you are insane and want to race the fx1 you do need something on there though) Just BTW Ive seen a couple of custom...

Compass? I just freehanded mine, no reason it needs to b a perfect circle, just so its symmetric. In any case round off the corners so you don't have a point to catch your shin on.

there is a pic on the web site. It is under yamaha accessories.

Why steal some little part and render worthless a ~$2k ski? clean them up and sell them.

Delaware ..however they wouldn't let me register w/o a notarized bill of sale. (I was only trying to avoid bothering the seller about getting the b.o.s notarized, which I eventually did)

there may be one more bolt at the rear. Sorry its been a long time so I'm not positive.

not too hard. pull pump (4 nuts outside 3 water lines inside, pull HARD) You will need an impeller tool. Remove the pump cone, put the square end of the shaft in a vice, unscrew impeller. The wear ring itself needs to be cut lengthwise to be freed up. When you get it out sand the aluminum good...

You can use a auto harmonic balancer puller, find some long metric screws into the threaded holes in the flywheel. Be careful not to thread the screws in too far as they will hit the stator. If it is actually just the ground wire that went it could be your main ground path (battery cable) is...

Ive sunk a few times and in my experience you always get some water in the gas. Maybe a couple oz is too little to reach the pickup and cause obvious problems, but I will always drain/clean the tank if in doubt.
