A question related to my failure.
When I pulled the pump, there was grease on the driveshaft that was expelled from the midshaft bearing. Since this is a brand new item I cant imagine it failing also unless it was taken out by the vibrating pump shaft.
My question is does grease on this...
Add me to the list of Solas Mag pump failures.
I put together my conversion 1200 blaster and decided to go with the mag pump. During the conversion, I replaced the midshaft bearing with an entire new assembly. I first ran the ski with the stock pump and my previous impeller. The ski ran...
I haven't had my ski registered for public water in years. The few times that I have been riding it in recent years has mostly being running buoys at Three Palms Extreme Sports Park in Conroe.
The progress continues. Now I am working on the driveline.
I hope to this pump together and have it in the water in a few weeks.
Solas 12 vane pump and 15/22 prop
My hood gasket is getting little flattened out in the front and I think it may not be sealing as well as it once did. I priced the Yamaha part and had sticker shock. What are other good options?.....are there any?
I have been waiting on a prop for this thing, but the weather was so nice that I couldn't wait any longer. I put the pump back in it with the Solas I prop that was in my limited set up and we took it out for a test run.
WOW!!!! It is just as I hoped it would be. This thing is crazy fast and...
I was able to get quite a bit done to the boat. This is what I started with :
This is a few pics of the GP1200 Motor when I brought it home. It is huge compared to the 701!!!
I removed all of my 701 running gear and painted the inside walls of the hull. While the...
Awesome. Thanks for advice. I am going to be working on it over the next few days, so I will take some pics. I am curious as to what are peoples opinions on the best way to run the water lines on the GP1200 motor. I see that you are bypassing a bit more water than the stock set up in that photo.
I don't think compression is your issue. I have run much higher than that with a very reliable motor. One thing that is simple and something to look at is your fuel tank. Make sure the vent hose for the tank is clear of obstruction and not kinked in any way. If it is, your motor will run...
Maxima 927 because I believe it is one of the very best 2 stroke oils on the market. I buy it by the 5 gallon bucket and we use it in all my son's race bikes and anything 2 stroke.
I have owned my WaveBlaster for nearly 20 years. I have ridden and raced this thing for a long time and now its time for something different. I can never get rid of the old tub, so the 1200 swap sounded like a fun project. I found a zero hour rebuilt GP1200 motor and decided that the 20th...
