FX-1 my fx1 pump question

well i decided to pull my stock impeller and put a solas in there but i found some issues with the jetpump houseing, the spines, or dohickies, two of them had big chunks out of them. any ideas on what i should do? where i can buy a new houseing.
fx1 parts seem rather hard to find..pump.jpg

WoW!! that's some serious cavitation burn! :cool2: Those pumps don't last long with any HP in front of them. Try to get a decent SS impeller for your new "pump", it will hook up much better.

every FX1 pump I have ever seen looks like that ( unless its been replaced)

My wife's FX1 looks the same.

I stuck a new impeller in it last year, no difference, these really need pump upgrades to be fun skis in my opinion.
 
i've got a new solas 19 25 impeller to put in it. i don't want to spend a fortune and upgrade the pump unless its reasonably priced. i'd rather just go buy an 09 superjet imo

yes.

even with a perfectly good FX1 pump, and impeller, its smaller than a superjet, and cant deliver the blunt force take off that I like.

Im convincing my wife to get a superjet and ditch the FX1, im too lazy to adapt a 650sx, or SJ pump into it.
 
can you bore out the fx1 pumps? a few mm to get a little more? that would affect the impeller clearance, but maybe getting larger impeller? i'm sure there is a lot of information on this.
 
jeremy, i have a 122 fx1 vein section somewhere you can have for free. i need to check on the condition.

matt i'll buy the wifeys ski. must be cheap. would you take beer as a partial payment?

cheap?

Ill check with you before it hits the market.

she rode my black boat last year, and she likes the power/pump much better than her FX1.

so now I need yet another SJ.

that will make 5.

Hey im headed to the lake this weekend, weather is supposed to be GREAT.

if we can avoid any corpses in the water, it should be a good time, are you going to be around?

jeremy the stator section has one small chip in a vein about the size of a small finger nail. if you want it, it's yours.

mouth i'll be out. too many corpes in our lake.
