Hey guys,
My 93 waveblaster b1 bit the dust at the end of last season with a bad starter, leaky rear seal, and scouring in the cylinders. I decided that since I'll be spending some time riding this in the ocean in the near future I am going to rebuild the ski from the ground up to make it 100% reliable. Not looking to get stuck in the surf anymore with a 20 year old ski.
It currently is bone stock with a 701x motor. I was going to have Atlantic Jet Sports in NJ rebuild mine but I've come across a 701t from a wave venture I will probably have rebuilt by them now. I understand that some of the later model b1's had the 701t anyway.
If I am going to rebuild the entire ski, what else would be different with a 701t setup compared to the 701x besides the carbs? Wiring, electrical box, hoses, top end, bottom end, hoses, motor mounts, anything? Remember that I'll be replacing any part that could cause possible breakdown. Basically making it a new ski (just love this blaster too much).
I'm more of a wave jumper and was going to put a pipe on it as well...any suggestions? I know the Factory B pipes aren't made anymore. I have one used in a box but I brought the ski back to stock. Maybe a factory Limited Pipe?
I found a good website called partforyamaha.com. They seem to be the cheapest Yamaha online parts seller.
Not looking to put in an 1100 or anything like that or crazy mods. I'm an amateur mechanic and would like to keep this as close to stock as possible so I can work on it easy and follow a manual. I think the twin carb and the pipe will give it enough kick plus a bilge to keep out pesky water when I nose dive.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Joe
