The rebirth of the RXX

Does that ski not come with Bailers from the factory?

No bailers on the pump

look

Yea I see it's just flat across where those tubes should be cased in. Hey man, before you run that thing on the hose, pluck that crustification out of the hose hookup. What is that? Maybe a leaf? Looks like a piece of orange foam

 

[1of500]

All those fittings are blocked. To run on a hose I disconnect the water inlet and hook a cut hose up there. My drains come out the side

So I splashed it today. Didn't go well I have a water leak some where. I think it's the case cooler. I didn't pressure test it . I'll check it tomorrow after work

 

[1of500]

Doesn't look like it's the cooler. I put hose pincers on the stingers and hooked it to the hose let it run through the cooling system at full pressure strong stream out of the passers no water in hull. Going to have a look into the exhaust fitting and steering cable . Not sure where else it could have came from but I could see it rising while it was idling.

Man it wants to rev

 

[Krispy]

Did you get the leak sorted?

 

[1of500]

I think so there was still a tad of water in the hull I think it was the bailers fittings. I will probably take the ride plate and pump shoe off and reseal them over winter

 

[96spxpos]

Yea, is this pic after the leak? You are referring to the cable passthru at the pump? Sounds so crispy and amazing

[96spxpos]

Are you showing that you hit 64??

 

[96spxpos]

You must've fixed the leak?

 

[mikidymac]

No. That is how fast his truck was going when he was towing the RXX of the freeway. LOL:thumbsup:

 

[1of500]

Yes it's still rich should be a few more mph after some tuning

 

[mikidymac]

64 mph, you should be breaking that thing in nice and easy.

 

[1of500]

Still had some left

 

[1of500]

I've heat cycled it 6 times before the higher rpm pass

 

[1of500]

64 mph, you should be breaking that thing in nice and easy.

It wants to rev

 

[mikidymac]

LOL, those first rides are always a fight between butt pucker hope nothing blows up and the fight of the right hand to want to go faster.

 

[1of500]

It was touching 7300 rpm pig rich with throttle left

I can't wait to get it dialed in and be able to do 5 to 8 sec bursts of wot
