Freestyle 2013 Pro Series EME Micro Build

Got my 5/9 impeller from impros, after mis-ordering the first time and sending it back for a full refund, on a custom made 5/9 yamaha impeller. The impeller that was in it was a 10/17 in a 155 mag. I got the new Skat 5/9 put in today and plan to try it out tomorrow after work, here's to hoping it fixes at least my over propped issue. I may have a small exhaust leak somewhere as well as it starts to run funny after a few minutes, but we will see...
I got some video today, it is super clear video of the end of a dock, with a little blur doing 180's off in the distance... I need to bring my gopro out the next time (after fixing another mount that fell of, and putting a spacer in the new impeller)
The 5/9 impeller is perfect for the motor I am running, I need to switch to the long bottom plate instead of the tiny little ride plate thing, then it should ride great. As it is with the little plate, it is constantly rolling over backward in the water off of 180's so I always fail to recover from them.
I will grab a couple of pics at some point, struggled to get this thing tuned and running worth a crap last year... constantly seemed to want different jetting each time I went out and the last time I took it out it had a lean runaway... so I bought some new parts and swapped some out from other skis that I have.
New/changed parts:
Vforce 3 reeds
48mm full spectrum carbs
Factory Mod B-pipe
MSD enhancer
smaller nose mount waterbox
I saw signs of water ingestion as well, and my carb adapters trashed my prok filters, so I am switching to Tau Ceti's and putting outerwears on them to keep the water out. I am not certain if the water came in through the exhaust or the intake, just had some light rust starting on the cylinder walls and crank webs when I tore it all down.

I hear ya..trying to take all mine out over weekend
running the 48mm full spec carbs really helped out, runs great, did a little tuning this weekend and got it putting out good pump pressure, need to re-seal the pump at some point now that the motor and everything is running better. Could probably use some pro carb tuning at some point as well, but 2 good days out with it so far, attempted to backflip it and ended up upside down next to it, need to tighten the foot holds up for sure.
