Matt_E Roundnose Rebuild Thread - Motor Update for 2009

[Matt_E]

One of these days (years, lol) I'll get an aftermarket hull.
Then I'll make it look nice.

Besides, it looks decent from the outside.

 

[Matt_E]

Update: I finished water and fuel routing and have pulled the pump.
I removed the impeller with the help from local racer Tim (Superjet112x)
I need to send the impeller to Impros to get some rock dings fixed.
Now, all this time I thought I had a Skat Freeride Swirl 13/16. Turns out it's a 13/18 :shocked:
I'll need to call Art and get an opinion. Might need to get it repitched by Dave, as well.

Anyhow - Tim graciously lent me a Concord impeller while mine is getting fixed. Thanks Tim! :bigok:

Since I got my new coldwater wetsuit in the mail yesterday, I can go try my new engine tomorrow! :woot:
Water is 36 degrees, air should be around 40 and sunny.
I call that motivation to stay on the ski. :haha:

Tim Rock's

 

[Matt_E]

Great guy, no doubt.
Gave me a bunch of part for the Waddle Memorial Ski Build.

Tim was super at the tastin event for my son and he has been real helpful to him this winter that man is a machine as dan put's it. I got to watch the battle at tastin between tim and karl on the hydro holy crap tim does not back off haha it was wild (sorry for the jack.)

 

[Matt_E]

Tim's fun to watch, and always good for a chat.
One of these days I'll convince him to brave the sharks for a surf ride.

 

[Kennay]

Can't wait to hear the ride report Matt

 

[Matt_E]

Char'll be taking pics. :biggrin:

 

[Kennay]

I will be getting about the same thing in a month or so.. minus the BB sleeves. I am only going to an 83mm bore for now. When I need a rebore, I am going up to bigbore sleeves.

 

[Matt_E]

What carbs & reeds?
Compression?
Electrics?

 

[Kennay]

Reeds: Not sure yet honestly. I have these rad valves I was using sitting here, but doubt I will use them.
Carbs: Current carbs, 44mm BJ's
Compression: 205-215, somewhere in there
Electrics: Single Channel Total Loss that I've been running for a while now

 

[Matt_E]

Is he building the whole motor for you?


I just got the pump installed and everything buttoned up.
I think it's about 30 degrees outside.

 

[Kennay]

Nah.

Just doing the machine work.

 

[Kennay]

And by machine work, I mean porting as well, not only boring.

I might just go ahead and get the BB sleeves in there so I don't have to worry about it.

 

[jetpilot08]

you get to ride that beast yet?okey:

 

[Matt_E]

Yes. :veryhappy:

 

[jetpilot08]

well how was it? give us some details on that bad @ss motor!

 

[Matt_E]

I still need to sort out a couple of miscellaneous things.
It is the smoothest & powerful motor that I have ever owned.
Great all-around power, all the way from bottom to mid-range (I have not been above midrange - still breaking in).

 

[jetpilot08]

awsome....how was the water?

 

[Matt_E]

36 Degrees.
I have an awesome new wetsuit that had me sweating.
