I would say yes have someone else do it. however if machining is something you are interested in than try to be around it as much as you can and pay attention I grew in a shop and I still learn everyday.

machining is something I am VERY interested in, hence why im going to school to be a mechanical engineer. I cant get enough of working with my hands. im going to take the nozzle to my shop teacher and see if he can figure out how to mount it. also doesnt the stock bilge have an outlet on the nozzle? i cant look at mine becuase im at school but my 750 did, if it does do you just grind it off?

Carb/flame arrestor adapters, bilge pump brackets, fuel pickup/internal fillers, pump cones and more!

If I had access to that stuff I would make a steering assembly for my X2!!


As far as the head, leave that to a professional, and go 10-15 thousandths, its ABOUT 1 lb gain for every 1 thousandth. Check your compression first then decide how much from there. I wouldnt go more than that or you may end up with too much squish

yes there is a bilge tube that most people discard when boring a nozzle then they will use that tube that is going through the hull for dual cooling and tap the pump housing. then most will go with a elect. bilge pump walla problem solved. lol however you can reinstall it to siphon again after boring your shop teacher will be able to figure this out.:Eyecrazy:

It works without it.
