How to check the Exhaust Pipe orifice on the Domestics motors

[CrazyA]

I made a video of how to check the water feed fitting for the lower half of the Domestic exhaust pipes. A video helps sometimes. I get fair share of PM's asking about the process and this may help.

In the beginning where I say that the upper half of the pipe is watercooled and the lower half is not, I should have said that the upper half is water jacketed and cooled and the lower half only gets some cooling from the upper half, without being jacketed, but I'm no Charlie Sheen. (don't always get my lines right and hit my marks!!!)

Anyhow, if I made any mistakes, feel free to comment. If it seems helpful, I'll leave it up. If not, I'll just yank it.

Thanks.

I like it.

Nice video.

I like that better than a video where you "yank it"


PS: All Fuji owners, you have the exact same set up on your exhaust pipe from all 94 and newer

So I've got a 95 SLX780, do I not have a water outlet to let me know the motor is cooling, or does it just dump out the exhaust... I looked and looked and couldn't find anything... The 785 Pro I have has three pissers, which I know are for the pipes, but the SLX has me puzzled...

main water outlet is in the pump cavity.

Follow the 3/4" hose coming off your water/cooling bar. That is actually the water leaving the engine, not entering it.

So there's no way to tell if everything is getting water correctly? Can I run water through the hose you are talking about, back throught the engine?

I gotta jack with the throttle adjustment some more, it sticks...
