Super Jet bringing my sj back from the dead

[lanmine657]

during a brief retierment from mx racing back in 95 due to injury my friends conviced me that jet ski racing was safe and you couldnt get hurt so i grabbed this sj701 new from a local yam dealer and started racing. 1 collar bone, 1 mcl tear and a seperated shoulder after 2 years of js racing i decided to go back to the dirt and my boat sat for years and years. when i moved to a new house in fortcollins i forgot i even had the thing and now it was trashed due to a fuel leak that developd and de-laminated the fiberglass surrounding the engine compartment and the hood was toast. i was actually going to haul it to the dump but my friend ensured me he could fix the fiberglass damage and re-paint it making it like new. i bought a new hood for it and he went to work

after many hours of drinking and wasting tape trying to come up with desighn and three days in the paint both, the paint was done

so now that the paint was done it was time for some motor work, it was completely stock except for a prop, intake grate and ride plate. started searching the x for parts, pipe and water-box first, it was all down hill down hill from there for my bank account but i didnt care cause i forgot how much fun going to the lake was. this i where i ended up, riva dry pipe, tdr water box, boyensen reeds, msd enhancer, hooker 9/15, new handle pole spring, protech flame arrester, west coast head, new bars and grips, jetworks fcv, extra bilge, workx intake grate, riva groovy and some carb work.

now i got the itch to make my boat a bit quicker for next season, found out that the riva pipe i had was called a dry pipe but it is not, it looks like a mini type 4 but has a wet chamber. guys at riva said they good pipes but it is a wet pipe for sure. started a hunt for a type 4 or a riva freeride and found what i believe to be a speedwerks pipe which i had herd is a touch better than the type 4 and riva. changing out my stock sbn44 for a blackjack 44, sent my flywheel and nozzle to zero for some work and im currently tapping my pump for dual cooling. was running my compression at 190 but i found some domes to lower that down into mid 170 range cause im tired of mixn race gas in with my pump gas
