I have very limited experience with Yamaha FX140 PWC. I'll take a shot at the question though. Your 7500 rpm sounds just fine, however that would yield a lot more speed than 37mph. I have scene this problem once before. Impeller clearances were perfect and everything about the pump looked fine. However, it had excessive cavitation and pump slip. There is a seal kit available for the pump unit and ride plates. It required a little bit of time to install, but afterwards the FX ran great. Best I remember, it ran around 70????? I don't remember what top end was before we made the repairs, but it was not good. I just saw that customer the other day, and remember his name. I will look in his file and get my research notes and read through them. If you want, you can call me later today. I am at Lake Martin Shop. 256-825-3388. I will share that information with you.

Respectfully,
Steve
