Anybody made their own adjustable restrictor?

[Prem1x]

Has anybody made their own adjustable cooling water restrictor for the bypass fittings or the stinger? I figure a decent hardware store might have the stuff to do something like this. Maybe out of brass fittings?

I made one using a 2.0 or 2.5 seat and tapped it for a High Speed Jet.......... never used it I dont think, or did I???
cant remember.

If you want an adjustable inline water restrictor Atlantic Jet Sports has the Jetworks Brand for $22.99 plus shipping.

I just use the 3/8” O.D. nylon dowels with various hole sizes that I found at my local hardware store.

I have used a brass twist water valve from the hardware store.and put it in line to the water box then it is ajustable when the water was warmer then I would open it a little.and I still used the jet works to keep the box dry at low rpm's

are you talking about a re stricter? or a spring ball check valve kinda thing?

Not a check valve, but a flow control valve that acts like an adjutable restrictor.

i use a block off plug that you get with the primer to block off one side off the choke shafts into the stinger with a 1.5 hole in it works awsome

I just drilled a 1.5mm hole in a peice of 3/8' steel rod about 10mm long and tapped it down the warer pipe just before the stinger - seems to restrict the water well (couldn't get enough pressure to pop open the Jet Works flow control valve on single cooling)

Not sure if that helps you..
