Its common for the fuel selector to have corrosion build inside it. You can pull it apart and clean it out fairly easily. Just use carb cleaner and run a drill bit that's the same dimension of the valve openings by hand. Blow it out very well with compressed air and your good to go.
As others have said, keep it as-is and run it with the 44. It will be simple, reliable, good on gas, and still quick. Also the perfect boat to run in Spec on the NEWA series:Banane09:
Dont have a picture but have been running them since 2008. They mount up inside the bond rail, flush with the rear of the hull. They are tight against the hull but have a taper to them from thin to thick. Goes from about 3/4" to 1 1/4" (ballpark from memory).
I've got both, I'm 6' 2" 205lbs and ride 95% freshwater lakes. The SJ hand down is way more fun to cruise the lake and jump wakes with. Plus you can carve just as good with it as a SXR. SXR is good for rough days or racing because it's got the extra weight and little wider tray for stability...
For me I would prefer hard / chiseled lines. Like others have said, embrace the square. Don't try to make it something its not. Maybe take some design ques from the Matrix?
FWIW Ive been using Tygon in my B1 for the past 3 seasons. Entire time its been using E10 fuel and left in the cold during winters. Still soft and I dont have to use zip ties. It has gotten a fog to its color though.
FX1's are cool but I never liked riding them. Being as tall as I am 6' 2" it was like riding a pencil on water... Way short and handled like a bag of :-):-):-):-)! IMO
I have one that looks similar (minus the carbon chamber) and its a wetpipe, not dry. Alot of people assume since its stood up like that its gotta be a dry but its not. Does that chamber have a water jacket to make it a dry pipe? Doesn't seem like it would being its made of carbon?
We used dock foam. We found a big chunk floating in the lake... Beat to hell but figured if it hasn't absorbed water by now I dont think it ever will... It was blue btw.
I made mine. There isnt much to it. I made of block off plate from a aluminum plate and a jigsaw. Bolted in on the flange for the stock exhaust with silicone. Just used a 2.25" aluminum strait pipe as the exhaust, cut a hole in the back and 3M 5200 around it. Been good for 3+ years/100 hours of...
