701 Footrocket build

[lil_stewie7]

Had a bit of the same problem with my 701 last year. The timing was right on but when I took the exhaust manifold off I found a real bad leak in the gasket.

Just a sample from a motor and stator I had laying around the shop, looks like the bolts should be centered in the slots.

But other than that it's looking good

Made a new mark, and put the stator and flywheel back on, put the carbs back together with new jetting, n/s and springs.




I decided to go with a few watt holes from thrust for bilge switch and primer. While the motor is out I'm going to install my bilge pump, and the watt holes. I forgot to install this stuff the first time because I had a buddy in town to help and we put it together in two days.

I also made a new tow rope out of stuff i had in the garage while the wife was artsn and a craftsn the other night.

Just put some stickers on it man. You should be good to go

I am installing an x metal trim system, can someone tell me how to seal the trim cable?



I picked up a b pipe coupler to do the coupler mod, is there anything else I should know? Its my first time putting in a trim system.

Slide on a piece of hose and 2 hose clamps will also work

 

[uwswimmer]

Great thanks a lot!

 

[uwswimmer]

I do not have room for hose and a clamp, is that rubber seal made for these cables or is that a part i might find locally?

I doubt you can find locally. Skat and Thrust sell them, but you can also just put some silicone to seal or use hose with cables ties instead of clamps.

 

[uwswimmer]

Ok I will just uses silicone for now, can I order a rubber seal in the meantime?

 

[x2mafia]

I have one of those rubber seals. Just give me whatever @JetManiac wants for one that's where I got it

@uwswimmer is a thug. Showed up with the ski in here.




Had him over at the house tonight. Got most of the issues resolved and the ski started up.

 

[uwswimmer]

I can't thank you enough Jon, you guys are awesome. I will get the rest finished up and see you on the water!

come ride with us!

 

[uwswimmer]

Looking forward to riding with you guys! Ended up having some carb issues, and a crossed wire in my ebox. Got the ski finished up in time for a quick test ride last weekend. I am so excited about how the ski rides, coming from a 650 sn this thing seems like it will be everything I was looking for. I have only been on stock skis and a roc so I was really looking forward to seeing how it handles. Only had about 25 min on it and I was braking in a new top end but just cruising around was a blast, it is so responsive and nimble. Thanks again to my buddy art, and x2mafia for the help and jetmaniac for all the parts and top notch service. Gonna be a good summer!

build looks sick!! i am currently running an ada head with 35cc domes and a b pipe. I do not have dual cooling setup and couldn't find much on this site. How do you have yours hooked up?
