update Update: everything fit, i go to press the start button and poof, a little smoke from the starter terminal.. the post is rubbing against the exhaust manifold which I didn't notice. So now to take it all apart and see what can be ground down. Weee.... PS thanks for everyone's help...

Ok, in the wetjet parts manual, it shows flow from the head to that little nipple. If so, a small T off the head would work IMO. I also double checked, I do have an adjuster bolt on the first part of the pipe where the water comes in from the head. As this will be my first time tuning this...

I don't follow you.

If that is the case, would I tee that in from one of the lines going to the water bypass? If you look at the diagram in post #13, there's no line that goes directly to the waterbox, but there are two that go from the top of the pipe down to the stinger (# 31,32 and 33 in the dwg). Not...

Awesome, thanks again Matt. As for the adjuster question I had, I checked on my pipe, and nothing there.

One last question: on the stock setup, there's a small 1/8 line that goes from the head to the pipe, but I'm not sure what thats for (bleeder or pulse line?) On the pro-tec head, that little fitting doesn't exist, but there is place to attach it on the exhaust pipe. Should I block off the one...

Thanks again Matt! As for the one that goes to #27, I don't recall offhand if that even applies to the Raider. I'll have to check when I get home tonight. Dave

When you say it goes from the outlet to the pipe then to the pisser, do you mean take the line that goes from the head and put a T, with one branch going to the pisser and one going to the pipe? If you have a look at the attached, can you see if I missed something. I see I might've missed...

Thanks Matt! 1. There's no water passage near the bolts that would require sealing in anyway? Else, why would they specify threadsealant (which is what 572 is). 2. So cool through the exhaust manifold, ok. But what line goes to the pisser? (currently I have the exhaust manifold line routed to...

I'm in the final assembly stages, and now I have a couple of final problems to resolve: (just as a recap, 701 61x, pro-tec rec head, wet-jet exhaust) For the head bolts, Yamaha specifies Loctite 572... can I use 1211 or RTV instead? No threadlocker right? The water routing has me very...

Quick follow-up: The stock head has 3 mounting holes which are super close to the wetjet exhaust.. so if I were to keep the stock head, it'd likely fit with a lot less hassle.. but a lot less power. By the end of the week I should have the bracket fixed and ready to go, then hopefully get...

Thanks for the reply. It's a little easier to get one of them than it is the wetjet one. As for progress, I still haven't got the head & exhaust sorted out, but I should by the end of this week. After all that, I might have a riva red pipe on the way too, to see how that goes vs. this one...

pics included Thanks for the replies guys. I brought the reeds to the shop at work, used a #1 center drill to turn the broken screw out, then passed a tap (M3 if anyone's interested) to clean out the threads... which is what I didn't do the first time around. Good to know about the plugs...

Hey all, I posted this over on greenhulk, but haven't had any answers. I thought maybe some of you running a 701 with a pro-tec head could maybe clarify some issues for me: I started putting all the goodies on today that I got over the winter (I know it's late in the season to be starting)...

Hey everyone, I know I'm not really in my element here seeing as I have a Raider, but I had a question about the pro-tec maxflow pump nozzle, and how it works with a 701 61x engine & 144mm pump. With a stock steering nozzle and a nujet prop (yam5.0), could I actually expect more accel and...
