^ Yep thats about it haha like was said previous put bolts in bags and label em ( I even tape em to the part just in case), then put labeled tape on each line and where they connect and it will be an easy removal/re install..good luck, keep the pics comin!
Ok in pretty deep now ! :bigeyes:
Hull is nasty ---!!! Good call on removing it cleaning around the motor would have done nothing !
When being anal pays off !
Cleaning to to do tomorrow
OK here is where I need your expertise - The coupler does not spin the prop freely - seems to hit a high spot. The motor while cranking seemed to turn it fine.
What is it the prop? wear ring ?
Thanks again guys for all the advice ! :dance:

Could be a number of things:
could be a "swollen" pump liner.
could be the driveshaft carrier assembly seized up.
pull the driveshaft out, remove the intake grate/ steering nozzle, and reach in there and see if u can spin the prop by hand.. if it spins freely, then the issue is most likely the bearings on the driveshaft carried (that black square thing mounted to the bulkhead that the driveshaft goes though) if it doesn't spin nicely, look at the prop, any big gouges? if u can convince a friend to help you, have them shine a flashlight through the intake grate area and u can look from the rear pump area and see where its rubbing...

PS, my hull looked the same as urs.... Epoxy spray paint will do the trick, just get it clean first. mine is bright white down there now!

I was going to paint the inside of my x2 with a undercoating or truck bed liner. Does the epoxy paint work good?
Seems to be the prop hitting . the drive shaft bearing looks to spin smoothly

Do you think you will end up painting it?
Not sure yet - may just deep clean it for this season. concentrate on getting the motor up and the exterior pieces

sounds like that would be a good plan

^ Looks like your doin everything right so far, you will be happy you did all the cleaning for sure! Although its already been said, if you think you might paint the engine bay next year you may as well do it now while everything is apart and cleaned so you dont have to do everything twice... Also like 98sxipro said I would pull the driveshaft/intake grate to see if the impeller spins freely.. good luck!
Thanks ! That will be my next task to pull the pump -
Also is it recommended to remove and block off the water drain valve?

I have always had block offs on my engines. I dont have a good explanation for it but I just know all of my engines have them installed.
Here was the process I went through on the exact same ski:
I re-painted the hood to finally get rid of the remaining purple. Came out pretty good.
After a grey molded turf-job, here's where I stand.
List of mods:
Ported small pin 750 engine
Limited Pipe
46mm Mikuni Carb
Carbon Tao-Ceti Flame Arrestor
R&D Intake Manifold
R&D HP Exhaust Manifold
TDR Water Box
Jet Dynamics Intake Grate
R&D Pro Series Ride Plate
Rule Bilge Kit
Primer Kit
Blowsion zero-degree Handle Bars & Quick Steer Kit
Black Bow Eye Bushings - Front & Rear
ODI Rogue 130mm Grips
Mods planned before spring:
Skat-trak 12/17 Swirl Prop
V-Force 3 Reeds and R&D Angled Reed Spacer
My Wishlist:
-2 Star Bar Handlepole
High Performance Head w/ 26cc Domes (choose one)
MSD Ignition Enhancer
Ride Plate - Worx D-cut
R&D Aquavein Intake Grate
Ultra Lightweight Driveshaft (Standard Length)
Skat-trak 12-Vein Magnum Pump
I was lucky to have alot of the mods/work completed when I purchased the ski. However, after riding a 93 750SX for seven years this SXi Pro is on a whole nother level and much more rewarding for an experienced rider.
Have fun & keep us posted on the project. :thumbsup:

My advice would be to NOT MOD, paint , turf or spend any $ on the hull. Make motor mods, RRP pole and so forth and eventually purchase an aftermarket hull that accepts Kawi drive train. A BOB or a Q8 if you can afford it.
Light, small hull with this drive train (adding a PIPE) would be awesome and every dime you spend modding the OEM hull will be mute. This drive train in a BOB would feel like you dropped a 1000cc in your pro hull.
I cannot wait to find a great deal on a modded 750 or 800cc kawi to do just this with it.

Diggy, nice looking ski so far. I like your wishlist but offer some advise. Tubbie 2's should be very high on that list and the works d cut plate sucked when I bought one. I sold it after a 5 minute ride. I love the R&D extended plate or my d cut stocker.
