Dependant on how much debris is in your crank, you will be fine with your original crank. A couple of years ago on my 03 DI, I lost my PTO Cyl. Turns out the top compression ring spun 180 Deg. and it caught the Rave valve and broke a chuck off of it and busted a chuck of the top of the piston...

Had both Seas out this weekend and they both ran fantastic for 2-1/2 hours. While idling near the dock mine just stumbled and quit. Pulled the key and hit the start and it started a for a few seconds then quit again. Tried the start again and sometimes it would run for a few minutes and...

:thumbsup:Thought I would mention the Rave Valves as the was an issue and solution on my BIL's 97 XP last year. Working on his VTS right now and tried to remove the mag side Rave but no luck. What's your secret without removing the pipe? Would appreciate any input. JB, if all other routes are...

If when it does start and it runs pretty decent, it sounds like your Rave valves might be dirty or clogged. You will have to remove the exhaust pipe to remove them but it will be worth the effort. They may be gummed up that they are not opening under vacuum. Hope this helps.

Sounds like your choke cable may have slipped. Had a 97 GTS that had a loose screw on the choke cable and choke would not open all the way. Started great but died right away, even when I pushed and pulled the choke. Remove the air box and use a mirror to see if the choke plate / plates are...

Makes sense Dr. Honda - Thank You My 03 GTX DI's run very smooth compared to this 02. This one feels like your in a vibrating chair, kinda relaxing, in sense. I am a little suspecious that some one has had this machine apart as when I pulled out the drive shaft, there were no rubber snubbers on...

Have been working on this 02 GTX DI issue for a while now. THere is a huge vibration through the motor, from idle to higher RPMm that is vibrating the whole machine. It has broken tuned pipes at the exhaust manifold and snap bolts that also hold the pipe at the manifold. This what I have done...

Hey Yada - Had a similar problem couple years ago at Buffalo Pound. Kept getting weeds in the grate and it restricted the turn rate when starting. Every thing is better at Douglas Park right now. Try and check your wear wing clearences. might be a little tight or or might be coming apart. Had...

MY brother in law purchased a 2002 GTXDI from a dealer in Regina last year and the weekend he purchased it we had discouvered that the top right ear of the Tuned pipe mounting flange that bolts to the Exhaust manifold had been reapired (Messy welding job on cast) and it had broke below the weld...

Just rebuilt my 98 GTX Ltd. carbs with 2 Mikuni BN46I Carb Kits. Started it up in the driveway with water and ran great at about 2800 RPM. Took the seas out to the lake and put them in the water. Started up the 98 and it started great, idled around 1400 RPM, let it warm up and then hit the...

Hi Chester - I was recommended by Dr. Honda to PM you to see if you can answer my question to the attached thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Darrell http://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?42072-What-are-these-From-98-GTX-Ltd.-947

Can anyone tell what these three little metal pieces are> I had removed my carbs to rebuild them so I thought I would take off the Mag cover because it seemed like the starter was acting up. After pulling the cover I had noticed that the plastic bracket that holds the end of the starter gear...

OH NO - Just read a previous post and it was indicating not to turn the water hose on before starting the Sea! I am wondering if there is how my fuel issue has come tolife. The Sea ran fantastic last year before I put it away and when I went to get them ready this spring I had them in the...

Not a problem 6KJR, open for all recommendations. Checked the bypass valve even to turn it off and blow in the line and would not let me blow into it. Turned it to on while blowing and the tank expanded once it reached the on posistion. When you are indicating PULSE line, do you mean a vaccumn...

Just got my Seas out of storage (Averaged 30 below up here:ack: all winter) The 97 GTS started and ran great but my 98 GTX Ltd. started and went to 6000 RPM. Hit the kill, nothing, pulled the key, nothing and then hit the throttle and it died. tried to start it again but no luck. Left it for a...

Clean Carb filter screens You may have already cleaned these in your line replacement process. But the nex thing to do is clean the small filter screens behind the Carb diaphrams as all the blach mush from the inside of the grey fuel lines is now captured in these two screens. Mine were 3/4...

Bad Plug? Just from experience last year after rebuilding the 717 in her 97 GTS. I put new plugs in and found It was only running on one cylinder. After testing for fuel and spark my wife calmly told me to try the spark plugs. Of course my reply was that they were new plugs but after another...

Take 5 Take a few minutes and just pull both plugs and try to start it. If it still will not turn over then try turning the drive shaft by hand with the plugs out. Just trying to eleminate a couple possibilities.

Check Prop / Wear ring clearence Sounds like you may of picked up some debris through your prop. With the sea out of the water take a flashlite and shine it the prop area. First see if there is some pieces of the wear ring are chewed away and if there is not see if you have a equal distance of...

I see what you are talking about now. I have a diagram of the cooling system circuit infront of me and can see where the issue may be with your Water flow regulator Valve (rave) If you need a copy I can scan it and send it to you
