I own a 94 Waveblaster 1... currently minor mods 1) pump cone, 2) K&N 3" with stack, Ride-plate jet-:chairshot:dynamics, with non-top loader intake grate. Otherwise stock. Want more low end power cheap, and looking at eliminating the choke plate and going with primer. What do I need to know?. Also, looking at top loader intake grate. Lastly thinking about putting a T in my cooling line exiting the head to create a water bypass and have less water in pipe. Very interested in any information on these mods, or other low cost ones. If this will not net the low end power- what would I need to know to install a 760 twin carb motor?

760 twin carb setup here.lots of power seems to have power from the beginnng to the end. but if you want bottum end power Id concider something else. atleast thats what I here. the 760 is fast but not for sure if its the power behavior you want. Great for bouy chasing shes fast id thats what you want. its hard to hold on to somtimes it will make you sore and bruised all over the legs. what riding do you do?

the stock 701 motor has plenty of punch. a prop, a new vane, and a head will help along with a pipe. none of these are more then about $400 each, so depending on your idea of cheap, their net output is big. you will pickup a decent amount of power, and loads of low end grunt

Just curious, what do you mean by a "new vane"? Is that the same thing as an oversized or taper bored nozzle?

Thanks

yeah 760 midshaft blaster2 steering cable and throttle cable. Not sure if the throttle cable off a blaster1 would work or not. blaster 2 steering cable is stronger. Not much to the conversion compared to others.

I really appreciate all the replies and advice. Been riding stand-ups for 25+ years, and just got the Blaster two seasons ago, and love it! Can I insert a T fitting off the existing water cooling line that exits the head and create a water bypass?, also, is there any value in removing the choke plate and putting in a primer? I did this with all my stand-ups and noticed some power gain for very little $. For the major power gain, at the best cost I am seriously considering buying a Blaster 2 ( these are selling for about $1000.00 in my local area right now) then swapping the motors and reselling the 760 to someone that is not interested in the big power. This could turn out to be somewhat cost neutral. If I do end up doing this, are there good low cost mods for the 760? Just weighing my options right now, and grateful of all the expertise in this community.

I pertically do not like the primer . I have the primer and choke plate both. My primer bleed back in the line and flooded the ski with fuel. guess i cant blame the primer it was the check valve that did it. my choke plate has never failed me on the 760. works everytime. You gain power by a primer? how does that work?

you said resale the 760 for someone that is not interested in the big power?. I really cant explain the power difference between the two motors. I myself like the longer power band and im sure changing props would give you more braap on bottum with the 760. How can I say besides she runs kike a raped ape. if your not carefull shell launch you off and youll be swimming. The 760 has more wieght and the ski doesnt bounce around as much as the 701. 701 is hard to keep it at wot when its continually jumping out of the water. but once again it depends on what kind of riding you want to do. Im a newie but trying to explain the difference. Lucky mme i have two skis the same but two different motors. And exactly the ones you are requiring.
760 more stable when sitting there in the wakes too. 701 is a fight to keep it from tipping. that extra little weight makes a difference. Id say 760 drive the crap out of it. Its fun having the extra power but we salmon ski here. I dont understand freestyle on a blaster anyways. kinda limited compared to a stand up.

wow! have not heard of the primer failing and letting fuel flood the engine. The concept of removing the choke plate is to open up the carb throat and allow for better less disrupted airflow into the engine. Kinda like adding a K&N to improve airflow and increase the ponies.

I cant blame the primer my one way valve on the tank has to high of a pop off. tank swelled and fuel pressure came through the primer line and flooded the carb and intake. it was my fault completely. I should of bought oem one way valves that have the correct pop off pressure. Do you think that chocke valve would be noticeable gain in power. honestly? to keep it from flooding i discounnect the one way valve when the ski is not running. need to find the original on ebay or something

Not sure if the power gain will be big, but easy enough to do, and reverse if does not improve performance. Trying all the easy stuff first before investing in a 760, head-pipe-vane etc... I am also going to add a water bypass with a T fitting. I am inserting the T just behind the head in the water line going to the pipe. I have been told that may get minor power boost, and not overheat the pipe. Have you ever done this? By the way, not sure how to get into private message? Thanks

DId my blaster water bypass. Use a small diameter pisser that a friend gave to me. Seemed to give the blaster a little more low-end, and planed out a little faster. Still not as fast as my friends with head, pipe, and removed choke plate. I plan to pull the choke plate before next ride. Then on to the next least cost mod- bored nozzle/vain-head, possible pipe.

A 701 will make a lot more low end power than a 760 hands down it has been proven over and over. The weight of the 701 and 760 are practically the same the only difference between the two (assuming its a 62t/61x 701) is port timing and the pistons are 4mm bigger. There is a reason you rarely see a 760 in a blaster. If you want low end power buy a b-pipe, bump the comp up to 185 and put a good prop in like a 9/15 hooker and call it a day. You will have tons more low end power.

I am amazed they weigh the same.. I believe you cause im a idiot and know nothing. i only assumed there was a difference for the one with the 760 is more stable when sitting a float it seems to be more stable. And when running across the water its not jumping near as much. Maybe the red riva pipe and the little bit of weight difference is what Iam noticing. I dont know
