quick check my cooling lines

[Fro Diesel]

I am almost done installing my 701 in the square. I am running one cooling line from the pump to a T into the B-pipe manifold. I am unsure of the rest. From researching all the "cooling line" threads i think i should then connect the rear head output to the stinger on the elbow. Then take the front output from the head and connect to the bpipe chamber and my jetworks valve the way all the other posts said, and one out the side.

Before the cooling lines had a flush kit, it was ghetto so i took it out for now. Can i back flush with this setup? Precautions? I had to move the pisser from back towards the tray to up by the bpipe chamber to i get a better visual of it while riding. Had a scare when i blew a line at FSF and didn't notice it for a while. The ski is reinforced and i will also need to fill/sand that old 7/8 inch hole. DO i have to use glass or just 5200?

Thanks for the help, and i did search all this stuff i just wanted to double check.
Pump-maini head to elbow stinger, head to b-pipe chamber, output and jetowrks valve.

BTW: where can i get the reducers to keep the engine warmer when out in Lake michigan this time of year?

if you only have one single line coming from the pump, you have single cooling.

therefore, you should have water coming out of only one hose fitting on the head, unless you tee 2 together like you did on the manifold.

with that said, the routing is

pump 2 manifold
head 2 lower fitting on b pipe
upper fitting on b pipe 2 stinger
TEE that last hose with one end going overboard and the other end feeding the flow control valve. then to the stinger

pump>manifold>head>lower pipe fitting>upper pipe fitting>tee>fcv>stinger.

So there is one on the top of the head and then one on the front of the engine, should i tee them together? I'll get a pic soon.

what kind of head is it?

Usually if your head comes with two fittings(front and rear) and your running single cooling, just use the back fitting and cap the front fitting off unless you want to run another pisser(though your water temps will be slightly lower unless you restrict it).

is this also ok

ive been running it for 3-4 months no prob no overheat. i belive it is what fp says.

pump 2 manifold
head 2 lower fitting on b pipe- have mine to upper fitting on b pipe
upper fitting on b pipe 2 stinger-lower b pipe to stinger
TEE that last hose with one end going overboard and the other end feeding the flow control valve. then to the stinger

yup, gonna cap off that front 90. maybe in the summer i will run it. Where do i get restrictors?

You can make your own or buy the ones Jetworks sells which are really nice and allow you to quickly change from 2,3, and 4 mm.

Just make sure the straight end of the T goes to the FCV and the T portion of the T goes overboard. It helps with FCV actuation.

the only problem that i see with feeding the headpipe from the top, instead of the bottom, is the possibility for an air pocket at the upper part of the head pipe.

if you feed it from the top fitting, air isnt going to escape from the bottom fitting.

if you feed it from the bottom fitting, air will escape from the top fitting.
