I'm using a factory pipe wb and jetworks flow control. You have to be careful with flow control almost cooked my hose first time out.

Where did you have the jetworks flow control that you almost cooked your hose? Was it the restrictor kind with the knob that let you dial in the flow or the one with the spring that you put before the stinger?

Why are you running a flow control? I have the riva water box, just started to leak very slow. Need to find where and weld it.

 

[billglass]

I don't think your question was directed to me , buy I run one on the hose going to stinger to keep water from building up in water box and bogging my holeshot. It opens under pressure and allows water to stinger at higher than idle pressure. I do like this aspect of it. Not sure about the other guy.

With the T fitting at the top of pipe running less water in the pipe do you think you would still need that flow control or would you now adjust it differently?

 

[Blucky255]

I put mine right before the stinger. It helped the bog if you are at idle for a while. Definitely made it more responsive but not sure if it's worth cooking a hose.

It's been awhile, I forget who was running a similar set up as me. Had a few questions on how there ski was running.

What questions did you have

 

[billglass]

Ran great in the dual carb version.

Is anyone running a bypass off the head for the front cylinder? My front cylinder runs hot, riva said the water isn't leaving the front of head quick enough as the rear.

 

[Darcysine]

I run the front cylinder straight to a pisser , never had an issue yet

Remove the front water fitting and make sure there is no trash obstructing flow.

 

[billglass]

ran front cylinder to pisser. ditto

 

[noctrnl]

Definitely nothing clogged, but yeah I'm going to run a pisser off the front then also. Got any pics of your set ups?

Looks great, what pipe are you going to run?

Switched from Riva red pipe to factory pipe this year.

 

[noctrnl]

So hard to find a factory pipe for a fair price that has everything with working screws, I can never find

 

[billglass]

Took me a long time to find a crappy one. Then I had it restored and powder coated. Looks better than new. They show up on Facebook waveblaster every so often.
