    Best way to drain and clean my gas tank 97 gsx

    So I've got a full tank of gas in my 97 GSX and I've been catching huge chunks of rust in my fuel filter. I suspect that the convenient marine gas at the station beside my storage yard is biting me. I can't think of anywhere else it could have come from, I don't even use jerry cans. Anyhow my...

    Seadoo GSX 787 Which intake grate would you pick?

    After hours and hours of searching I'm not sure I've gotten any closer to picking an intake grate. I've got a skat trak swirl impeller (not sure of pitch as it came in a replacement pump) and I'm finding that I'm having a heck of a time keeping water in the pump. I'm usually out on the lake when...

    Things to check on an ex rental 07 gti for sale

    First of all my apologies if this has been covered already. My folks are thinking about looking at a 2007 seadoo gti that's an ex rental with 300 hours. Now I've got a bit of experience getting a rat bagged GSX tip top but the 4 strokes and a decade newer makes this a little out of my league...

    How important are the washers and spring in the waterbox rave valve 97 GSX

    Well if you've read the title you know the score. My 97 GSX seems to be missing those. I suspect I'm to blame as I've had far too many bits of this thing apart over the years. Now what I'm wondering is how critical are the washers and if I were to dig through spare parts what might I be...

    97 GSX Where is my trim fuse?

    I've looked at the microfiche after reading that the fuse can be in the rear electrical box (mine is missing the seal and bolts holding things in place, but I don't see a fuse). I checked the MPEM and iirc there were four fuses, 2 7.5 amp and all looked fine. When I bought the GSX it was missing...

    How to tighten GSX exhaust nut

    I've had to replace the thru hull exhaust tip on my GSX as it was melted and allowing the exhaust to pop off. I've dealt with the cause of the melting, but I can't figure out how to tighten the big nut effectively. Having no side clearance I can't use a wrench and the pipe is too long for a...

    Exhaust outlet water injection

    How important is the water inejection in the exhaust outlet (aka tip)? Mine was plumbed out on the head (explains why I couldn't find the t-fitting to connect the hose to) and the rear hose left connected, but the interior of the outlet is all bumpy and hard like it melted and recooled or had...

    97 GSX pulls to one side and various other issues

    Well my basketcase GSX is actually on the water and running. Now I didn't say it's working perfectly. It pulls to the right when up on plane which can be corrected by turning the bars slightly, but then the machine isn't quite level side to side. Now as for issues, it has a hell of a lot of...

    97 GSX waterbox to hull exhaust hose popped and discontinued, now what?

    Well as the title states I finally determined why the seadoo I picked up didn't rev up without choking and dying. Turns out the exhaust rubber hose between the waterbox and hull fitting delaminated and blocks itself when I rev the engine. Now before you say it, yes I figured out that the...

    Hello from British Columbia

    Well I just got home from picking up a '97 GSX that I got with a home built trailer for $500. I figured I'd sign up to gain some knowledge. The owner was having issues with it bogging at high RPM and sunk about $1500 into it to get it working. It still didn't work, but I noted something...
