Might go single

[waxhead]

its because of the fuel atomization
it takes energy out fo the air to make it happen

Personally i have ridden 2 boats with a single on them and i hated the power they made
but each to there own
A well tuned set of dual is tops in my mind

 

[FL-cracker]

^^^^^Thats what I keep thinking, shouldant a well tuned set of duals, have just as good of hit, if not better, at any RPM range??????

 

[runaway]

Do not do a single carb. Your engine will get out of your ski and leave while you are asleep.....:haha:

Really, I preferr stock dual 44s to my single 48 Blackjack. Believe it or not the 44s get better fuel economy, and maybe a little more power up top.

I still want to try a Riva or Full Spec single though, buts its hard to take something apart that runs so good.

See...I wouldn't sell my dual 44's until after trying the single. I think I am only considering the Riva or FS as candidates for the single.

our SJ's both have single WCF modified 48mm mikunis. hers is a 61x case and mine is a t case.

LOVE THEM!

I'm having my own duel carb nightmare. . . .Parts orderd

 

[Mile9c1]

that is interesting.

:bigeyes:

My dual 44's get pretty cold... not sure if I'd call it ice cold, but cold carbs don't mean much.

I have a set of clean 61X cases I'd sell for $75 if anyone's interested.

Yaaaaa, the dual freaks finally come out of the woodwork. Gotta love the single carb threads.

you need a vacum cleaner

 

[sflsurfrider]

just straddle the underside of the ski with your junk in the intake grate and have someone start and throttle the ski. now that would suck balls.


i have a 61x case, reeds, manifold and carb for $73.99

 

[waxhead]

Im not going under 74
i need that last cent to play the pokies at the pub

Thats assuming your junk is not big enough to hang down and get caught in the drive shaft

 

[sflsurfrider]

okay, lets stop talking about junk n balls now.

uh, JETSKIS! yeah... theyre cool!

I would be the first person to install handholds on the bottom of the hull!
:biggrin:

also that case/reed/manifold/carb is a bargain...

hmmmmmmm ( I NEED that... not really.. just a sucker for a bargain)

For what its worth....my reeds are not stock...

After riding my boat and Phill's back to back this weekend, I am thinking of converting to a single carb.

His setup:
61x cases, 61x cylinder @ 84mm, heavy FS porting (identical porting to mine)
Stock ignition, stock CDI, stock intake, carb, reeds, etc. All stock. Compression 170lbs. B-Mod
Skat 14.5/18.5 race prop

My setup:
62T cases, 61x cyl @ 82mm, identical porting. Dual 44’s, Vforce2 reeds, 165psi, B-Mod (set up identical to his), Solas 13/16 cutback

I swear, his boat his almost as hard as mine, and keeps up with me every bit of the way. I am convinced that if he had my total loss and the right prop, his boat would f’n scream at me from the distance.

Now, my wanting for a single carb has little to do with his power level. It’s just that it’s just about as powerful as mine, so I wouldn’t be giving up power anywhere. And it’s so much cleaner and easier to work on!

I am extremely tempted to go for a single Riva Powerbomb
