do not run stage 1 with an tuning air filter it will run to lean... you need stage 1 plus when you want to use the riva/worx filter

I don`t have much for useful measurements. The magnet is a Samarium-cobalt 3/8" magnet from mcmaster carr. 5716K73 it was much cheaper than the smarium-cobalt 3/8" magnet from MSD. I think their...

Would be pretty dumb to miss the wave of the future. The obnoxious noise could go away tomorrow and I'd not miss it ever. ;)

For the first few years I rode my Ficht ski without even knowing that the thermostat was deleted. I thought it was normal that it takes so long for the engine to warm up and reach an optimal...

To speak candidly, if your EMM has not ever been repaired (which improves numerous known problem areas), then cooling concerns are lower on the list. If you ride in clean water, the cooling isn't...

Do you carry a spark plug wrench? If so, you can remove the plugs and it will be easier to turn the crankshaft backwards, which make it much easier to remove a rope. You can grab the driveshaft...

it's all good until....

your drop the oil filter bolt and it vanishes under the engine
you cross thread a spark plug, or break one off in the head
you don't check the oil filter at the engine...

I think the issue was the clamps were not installed correctly, either too loose or in the wrong spot on the fittings so they would pop off.

Probably a good practice to go over all the hose clamps...

Glad you brought this up ... being a long-time boat owner, this particular PWC - given its many mods (specifically open-air battery terminal posts) - does have an ignition-proof blower installed. It...

I could be mistaken, but the black doughnut, as you say, seems more to me like a type of primer, more a “sealer”. This is common when ordinary paint, say automotive single-stage paint will come into...

He indicated he was from Australia. We have a few members there who have Digital Wrench (DW), the diagnostic software. With that and a cell phone QR code reader, you can determine if the injectors...

Just a small point, US law (Right to repair) provides that vehicle manufactures provide repair and service parts for their products for 7 years after the date of the last retail sale. I worked for a...

You won’t go anywhere without the ski to install it on. What ski is it going on? O:)

English is good - thank you.

Understand you have a 2014 VX hull and installed a FX engine - okay.
Yes, I do see problems in your picture above, as this very well can be your source of the water...

The service manual lists the compression ratio as 12:1.

Have you ever tested your 1050's compression before? Or have you tested the
compression of a ski, and you didn't know what the spec was?

I think most of you get what I’m saying about the pitch-spread factors (as opposed to the overall pitch itself) …. yet let me try it again with a few pics this time …

Never had an issue charging through the winter with it still connected in the craft.
Battery Tender 021-0123 Battery Tender Junior 12V, 0.75A

I have successfully fixed this module!!! Believe it or not, I robbed the transistors and a diode out of an old harddrive. I replaced the two broken transistors and resoldered in U1. I tested...

Thanks for the quick reply worked perfect. So when you supply power via pin 2 and 3 it wont power on until you push the reset button on the display itself or, put jumper on pin 8 to positive. If...

Agreed.
I just wanted to reiterate on this topic why both thread-chasing is a good precaution, and why the service recommended loctite (not any thick RTV/silicone aka sealants) ...

Because the...

The basic idea of how these ignition systems works is

1. Flywheel spins around on the crankshaft
2. Sensors on the flywheel are read by a stationary sensor on the crank case in the flywheel area...

That hose shouldnt get that hot. PVC pipe holds up.
I used it to repair straight peices of damaged hose, where damage usually occurs.

"wouldnt start when hot" has like 100 causes in any...

I use to have that exact model. I consider it the older - yet more heavy-duty of their line of products. A decent unit. Without going into detailed specifications... it is basically a combo unit, a...

I was talking to a guy named "gleason" on PM and he had this to say

"So it really comes down to what your purpose is.

If you are going to use the ski and intend to have a passenger or tow a...

You shouldn't have any concerns about the reliability of an FX. I fish offshore on a 2012 FXSHO and frequently go 20-30 miles offshore on my own without hesitation regarding the reliability of the...
