Super Jet 62t case conversion?

[paczowski123]

Just wondering what all is involved with this? I currently have a 61x/61x. Was interested in going to 62t cases. Will everything swap over from my 61x or would I have to buy everything else 62t? Also, would anything else be needed to make the switch? I.e manifolds reeds etc?

Manifold and dual carbs

Cases, intake manifold, reeds, carbs, flame arrestors. If it's a stock-ish cylinder setup, I wouldn't bother.

Yeah, seems ill stick with my 61x. Down the road would it be more beneficial to go to a 62t case setup or have my 61x ported etc? Just not sure i want to put money into a motor that will never compare to a 62t.

Hey man do you ever come over to Alatoona to ride or just Lanier? What other mods do you have done on the ski? Until you are going to a big bore motor I would say just keep the 61x. Maybe get it ported and try and find the wetjet carb intake setup have rode a few skis with that and it makes decent power.

Used to ride allatoona when I lived in Kennesaw for school, now mainly Lanier what about yourself? Yeah I'm no pro but the difference between my friends 62t with just a pipe is night and day. My B pipe should be here Wednesday so hopefully that will wake it up a bit but I just didn't know if it was worth putting more money into a 61x if its not comparable to a 62t.

I did the case/carb change leaving all else the same. The 62T case with dual 44s made the pipe hit a little harder compared to the 61X case, top speed was the same. The cylinder was a ported 701. Port work, a good pipe, and a low pitched prop made most of the thrust increase.

Kevbo, did you port your 61x cases?

Both cases were stock, I wanted to get an accurate comparison. I used a complete 760 case/carb rejetted for my 81mm cylinder. It runs great but was not the best bang for the buck. Maybe for a larger top end.
