So when are we going to see some ride video?
FX-1000cc-66e
- Thread starter Bonzia Bob
- Start date
FX-6.9 is rebuilding the pump (new bearings and seals) and putting it in right now. Tonight we build the motor :Banane01: :Banane01: The only thing we are missing are the V-Force 3 reeds and cut domes. Anyone want to cut some Waterdawg domes for a 90mm bore? ADA, Riva, and Pro-Tec said no. Jeff was supposed to overnight a set to us on Monday but..............................lets not go there. I'll post some motor pics in the morning. If everything goes right it will be on the water the middle of next week. :biggthumpup:

Here are some pics of the motor. You know, no matter how many lists you make you always forget something.......................like wrist pin bearings, kinda hard to put in pistons without those, Looks like I will be eating some overnight shipping charges again. Anyway, the pumps in trim hooked up, ordering wrist pin bearing and V-Force 3 reeds on Monday (overnight shipping, ouch) And all we need after that is some domes cough, cough, attention Jeff, cough, cough. :biggrin:

BAM, that thing is blingin.....did you happen to weigh the pole before putting it on the ski? just wondering, ha I beat FL cracker to a weight question!
With the kind of low end torque and horsepower we are going to get out of this thing, we kinda need some weight in the boat. The hand pole is all aluminum and probably weighs about 8lbs.

If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself.
Since Jeff no longer returns calls we had to cut our own domes. So I called up a buddy of mine from high school who owns an off road shop (www.westtexasoffroad.com ) and he was more than happy to take on the task. Who else would you get to cut a set of one off custom domes for a 992cc two stroke than someone that knows nothing about them, well he did once own a JS 550. Not sure what cc we came out with, we will find out tonight when we put the motor together and fire it up for the first time :arms: :arms: :arms: :arms:

Do you have any idea what CC range you're shooting for on the domes?

please tell me you are bringing that monster to the beach this weekend!
The kind that makes it run :biggrin: We are looking for anywhere from 185 to 200 psi on compression. We will find out what we got tonight. We used a 29cc 760 ADA dome for comparison so we'll see.
Well, we fired her up for the first time........................I'm still a little shook up with excitement. Now I know its was just on the stand in the shop but OMFG :bigeyes: :bigeyes: :bigeyes: :arms: :arms: :arms: :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup: I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight just thinking about dialing it in at the lake tomorrow. I know for a fact that FX-6.9 will be up all night thinking about the first ride. We ended up with 195 psi per hole on compression (not too bad for our first set of domes to cut) This thing is just unreal, you can tell she's a big block. I'll get some vid at the lake and post it up. Wow...................just wow.:cool2:
I almost forgot, Superramjet you are the frigging man!!! We couldn't get our reeds in time for the ride this weekend, so he took the reeds out of his motor and overnighted them to us to use. MEGA PROPS MAN!!!!!!! You are the chit!!!!!
