Vortex dual flame arrestors

[quiroga09]

Where do I install my vortex dual flame arrestors for my 1994 seadoo XP?

First thing is you need to buy an adaptor and bolt it on the top of the carbs after you take off the old flame arrestors. Once you have the adapters bolted on then it just a matter of slipping the new arrestor and use clamps to hold it

Doo you know where I can find the adapter?

If they are Ocean Pro Vortex's there isn't an adapter. The aluminum base bolts directly to the top of the carbs. If it doesn't line up you have the wrong ones.
Also you still have to uses a support bracket to the head or it will crack the intake manifold.

does that support bracket come with the arrestors?

They are Ocean Pro Sea Doo dual 38-48 Mik vortex flame arrestors

Hey Miki, do you have a pic of what the support bracket looks like and where I could get one? Mine has those flame arrestors on it but I don't think it has the support bracket

Here are my flame arrestors.

Those do not take an adapter and bolt directly to the top of the carbs with the provided shouldered studs. I don't see any provisions for a support bracket so if it were mine I would be concerned with a support bracket. Some of the early ones had a bracket that bolted to the upper part of the carb body then to the head but I don't have any pictures of that. It issue is that the weight of the carbs and the stress of vibration can crack the intake manifolds without a support.

I would contact [MENTION=51824]Matt Braley[/MENTION] as he probably has 20 of these in his garage, LOL.
