Going to need to know more about what ski it is.

Sean

Im not assuming anything. Speaking from experience, even on the neglected motors that I have torn down where the hulls sat with water in them or on the water in floating docks, corrosion inside the...

Any motor I have opened has been damn near spotless inside, even neglected ones. Unless you sink the ski, crack a head, or pop an oil cooler you aren't really going to get water in the cases. The...

Nope, sorry.

Sean

Start by adding a shim/washer between the hull mounts and the plate at the rear to adjust the angle of the plate.

I ground the mounts for the plate down so the front of the plate was flush or...

Thanks, I am reasonably happy with how they turned out. A couple notes on them, make sure you round any edges on them, bashing your shin on a sharp piece of aluminum under the water line sucks ass. ...

What is your goal for the tabs?

Sean

Yep, mine is all doo, I mostly meant to look for where I have mine mounted and attached.

Take a look at my kawidoo thread, there are (or should be) some pictures of the vts install.

Sean

easiest method would be to use a yamaha quick trim setup or set it up as an auto drop.

Sean

Ok cool, its been a while since I played with the stock setup. My megasquirt primes on key-on so I wasn't 100% sure. On my 12f, I used to just bump the starter button and let the pump prime if I had...

Its been a while since I ran the stock ecu but if my memory is right, the fuel pump only kicks on when you hit the starter button for a few seconds.

Yeahhhhh we can't see anything from the pictures.


What jet pump are you running? It may be producing a more rapid engine decel when the pump loads back up.

Sean

No need to apologize, we all gain when people share their experience.

Sean

Wax did a limited run so they may or may not be any left.

My only complaint with the bed plate is that the clearance on the motor mounts is a little tight but that could be due to the rhaas...

The only aftermarket tunes that I know of that riva did for the stx were race gas only.

One set was for the supercharges motors, and one set was for the high compression motors.

Sean

I think the immobilizers are different, the cam position nub is in a different spot relative to the crank angle on the early vs later models. The temp sensor curves are also different early vs late...

Much appreciated, the camera hides most of the flaws but I keep telling myself that its a 33 year old standup, its okay for it not to be perfect. I am hoping to get some more work done on the hull...

The fuel system likes to corrode and take out the injectors, check for rust in the tank and plan on replacing the pump, filter, and reg. Budget for spark plugs, and fuel injector cleaning. The iac...

The riva kits ran the vortech blowers off the crank coupler and were bolted to the motor. I would bet with a 1-2mm spacer you could run 5-7psi. Just a guess though and you would want to be...

The biggest issue you will face with doing the charger there is driveline flex hucking the belt off. I considered a system like that for a while but didn't feel confident that the play in the motor...

Not being familiar with ti retainers, why do they need to be replaced so frequently?

Sean

Yep, learned it the hard way all in the name of testing. Riva mod is fine if you follow the directions exactly.
