61x case porting

[Phill]

I think I found an FX1

:biggrin:

I need one of those.........:biggrin:

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

have you ever ridden one?

pretty fun.

I have been needing a 3rd hoopty, between the wife and son, I cant fully utilize what little time on the water that I have.

I need one of those.........:biggrin:

 

[Phill]

no.......I would like to though

I think it would be a fun extra ski

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

Ive only ridden one once, it was fun, thin, light, and peppy.

I fell down a couple of times, but I had been sitting in the sun and drinking beer all day long, thats my excuse!

plus, it belongs to the wife of a girly man that I know, so I hated to totally rawhide the boat. ( the way I treat my own junk!)

what kind of epoxy did yall use and can i get it at Lowes or HD? im going to port my cases more seems from these last couple pics i havent ported enough :woot: :woot:

 

[Phill]

I used JB weld.....not sure what the best stuff to use is....

 

[SurfCrazed]

oh how many little tubes did you have to buy or do they bigger ones?

 

[Phill]

I think I needed more than two of the little sets....just get the bigger one...it'll be enough.

that case porting looks good, anyone test it out yet? i would like to know how much improvement it will make. Also do you guys have to change your pop off pressure after you do this mod. I have a set of x cases that could use some attention, and may attempt it.

woah wait a sec, case porting too on a 61x? damnit why didnt anyone tell me this b4 i assembled my motor and was on the dremel-craze...

what benefits does this have? or is this thing still in the testing phase lol

 

[aof13]

I've ran a set of ported x cases for the last few years. I love the low end snap it provides. I'm not sure how noticeable it is, seeing as i ported cylinders/cases at the same time.

 

[Phill]

Mine seems to make a change......Hit nicer this year over last....but I did put a LPW lighten flywheel and new prop

 

[SurfCrazed]

what about locite metal epoxy?

 

[SurfCrazed]

when your done porting the cases do any of yall polish them up? to make them in smooth?

you don't want a smooth intake tract.

 

[Phill]

Why is this??

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

supposedly the turbulence from a less than pefect finish in the intake keeps the fuel/air mix in suspension, supposedly keeps it atomized or whatever.

I have been watching you guys with these porting posts in amazment. I think I am figuring it out. I see where you are grinding the intake ports, but what is the JB Weld used for?

 

[Matt_E]

To fill in the voids in the top case half from above.

I wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone has any positive experience with the 61x case porting? Seems like a few people had positive results in addition to other mods that will obviously give positive results anyway...
