are the pump tunnels the same?

yup.

 

[Idok]

i have not flipped them and looked back to back....

but it DOES use a SJ intake and driveshaft....i need to weigh this mf'er, it could be in the prop but I just dont know..



here's a shot of the pump cav, I dont know if it'll be any help..

Idok,
I'm wondering if maybe the pump shaft tube had a small air leak in the Rev hull, as that will make a prop act smaller than it's pitched at.
You might go with a 12/18 Skat-Trak and a stock pumpcone with your bored nozzle, and check the pumpshaft tube for any airleak.
I use a A/C vacuum pump and a round disk with closed cell foam glued to it and a fitting to plug in the vacuum hose. Use waterproof grease to seal to the tube.
Note: Must always vacuum test pump shaft tubes before changing prop pitch!

With this vacuum test, are you looking for a bad (cracked/split) rubber isolator? Or just general leakage that can come from also a bad backside seal on the housing or a broken bond/fractured driveshaft tube. (see Pic).

[yamanube]

Sick ski, how do you like it?

 

[Jr Freestyle]

why did you block your scupper off?

 

[Tyler Zane]

i love the lines of that ski, looks good with their aggressive graphics.

i wouldn't run a scupper either, dual pumps running full time for me.

 

[Idok]

its not blocked off permanantly........I modified a filler neck and shaved down a fuel cap so if you wanted to plug it and let it float, so be it..

 

[Idok]

Took the F1 to the local Donk shop this week for a new look.......British racing green..Have some Khaki waffle turf to set it off...Going for a classic look of old Jaguar/Aston Martin race theme

it's a liiiiitle darker than true BRG, but in the sun it should look really nice

 

[Sanoman]

Classic man!

 

[special fx]

Nice....I like the Shaguar theme! Needs some reel spoke wheels with knock-offs on the beach cart!

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Looks good Scott

 

[QJS]

OMG British racing green brings back memories to an old fart like me. E Type looks nice, drove one once and scared myself to death. Never seen a ski painted that colour though.....Should be interesting.
Chris.

 

[Idok]

the color ended up more of an emerld metallic, a bit darker than what I had anticipated but likin' it more and more


just waiting on some padding from HT and we'll get her back together!
