No need to rejet in this case.

I would not drop money on an enhancer. They have spotty reliability, and are quite expensive considering what little performance gain (if any) you get with them.
 
i rejetted wheni got a new head on my ski
i had 135's and 70's with the stock head and pipe
then went to 75's when the head came

as for cooling you can stay single im fine right now with it i might go to dual over the winter

get your cdi modded(minus the rev limiter) or get an enhancer.


Those who say the enhancer does nothing haven't ridden a stock ski with just a pipe. The power is much crisper and it has more punch throughout the whole range compared to the stock setup.

Just like any ignition system, make sure all contacts are cleaned and greased up to avoid electrical problems down the road.

Agreed, I have ridden them back to back on my ski. The enhanser is way better than stock. Better throttle response. Better acceleration, and more rpm. Its no total loss but its way better than stock. And better than a stock cdi with no revlimiter.
 
I agree with you Gainera and Keith. It's not a knock your socks off improvement, but I thought it was definitely worth the $200.

This is a review I posted in a previous enhancer thread(http://x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=16542)

I started a similar thread to this a while back also and I got some different responses so I was unsure whether it would be worth it or not.

Anyways I found a good deal on a new one so I figured I would give it a try.

I had been running a stock cdi previously and then added the MSD by itself without adding any other mods at the same time to see how much of a difference there was(there was already a bpipe, head, and prop on the ski).

This is what I noticed about the MSD Enhancer:

1. The ski started much easier(not that it was hard to start before, but with the MSD enhancer it started much quicker)

2. The throttle was much crisper and had absolutely no lag(I especially noticed this when reving the ski out of the water)

3. The ski sounded different

4. I noticed a slight gain on the bottom, but it really didn't make the ski pull any harder. Once again the throttle response just improved a lot on the very bottom, but once you were past the initial throttle hit you couldn't tell the difference until the pump unhooked or you were in the chop.

5. I definitely noticed a difference when running wide open or messing around in choppy stuff due to not having a rev limiter anymore. I didn't realize how much I was actually on the rev limiter with my stock cdi(modifying the stock cdi will prodice the same result though).

Ultimately I am very pleased with the enhancer. I feel the $190 I spent was worth it and really allowed me to get the most out of my ski being that I already had a bpipe, head, and prop.

I would recommend it, but just don't expect a knock your socks off difference like you would with Total Loss. You will notice a difference and improvement, but you have to decide for yourself if that slight improvement is worth $200-250.:biggthumpup:
 
I wouldn't do any jetting but keep an eye on your plugs if you do both. But I am on the Fly bandwagon about the enhancer ... My post in the above thread shows a graph...how can you say that won't increase horse power. People bump their static timing 2 or 3 degrees for more power so the 7 degrees the msd gives you down low has to do something...

I Have, thank you. And I didn't say it does nothing - but it isn't a $250 gain in performance, unless you have that sort of cash to blow

And Fly....if your ski is starting easier with an Enhancer (ie, it starts less well with stock CDI), you need to tune your carbs. :biggthumpup:
Properly tuned carbs make for one button push starts. The Enhancer will mask the carb mistuning by a hotter spark. But is that really a fix? :dunno: :biggthumpup:

Actually before the I put the enhancer on it started with a "one button push start", but after installing the enhancer it just seemed like a quicker almost more instantaneous start.
