    I had an issue come up and want your guys opinion on causes. I was at the river the other day, went out on a ride to a place that was 15 mins away, straight drive at around 30 to 35 MPH, to a hang out place. Stayed there about 2 to 3 hrs, then went to crank it up to come home and it threw the...

    98 GTX LTD carb check

    My ski runs good but it has a small bog at 3500 to 4000 rpms. I know you can do a plug chop at WOT to see how the carbs are doing but my question is can you do it at mid throttle, say 4000K and around 2500K, to see how it is performing at mid to low range. Does it translate the same? Looking...

    98 GTX LTD.....carb tuning (small issues)

    So after about two years of rebuilding /piddling with the ski, with a whole lot of help from this forum, it is finally running pretty darn good. I took it out today for about 3 hrs. Did well but noticed a few things. It doesn't have a lot of power at the low RPM band, after about 3500/4000...

It may be a reason...

    98 GTX LTD missing at around 5K rpms

    I had a new issue come up today while on the river. While riding about 4K rpms all was good, then I went to 5K and above and it started missing, missing enough to cause slight power loss. Last time I was on the water I didn't have this issue. I did have a slight miss but it was barley...

    98 GTX LTD battery drain

    I let my ski sit for several days now without cranking it up and my battery is low, reading, 11.47 volts, turns over slightly but won't crank. Is this normal for ski's or should I start looking for something that is draining the battery?

    98 GTX LTD running hot

    I finally got it in the water about a week or so ago and did a quick run. Only because after about five minutes I checked the tuned pipe and it was hot to the touch (motor too), about a 3 sec hand touch was all I could do. So I brought it back in. I notice the ski wasn't pissing right and...

    98 GTX LTD vent tubes

    I'm putting things back together and I want to make sure I get the air vents gong in the right direction. For my ski there are four of them. Correct me if I'm wrong but it would seem like the left front vent would point toward the engine as well as the right front vent. The back two just seem...

    I took off the cone for the jet jump to clean it, add new oil, and seals. The book says to put Loctite 518 on the mating surface of cover. Not sure if they mean the surface where the bolts attach or the surface where the O-ring goes. The parts breakdown show the Loctite at the O-ring seal but...
