    Testing stator

    Here's what I did, I disconnected the three yellow wires from the stator housing and set the multimeter to 200 Ohms. The resistance between all three of the wires was 0.8 Ohms. I did this when the ski was NOT running. Is that correct? Also, with the harness plugged up, the ski will start up and...

    Testing stator

    Okay, I feel like a newb asking questions like this, and I'll admit I'm clueless when it comes to wiring, but I need to test the stator output on my 951 engine. I've been having a problem with it not charging and purchased an aftermarket external rectifier kit that did not solve my problem...

    "Spray" trick

    I've seen this done several times with stand up skis. All you are doing is flipping your body around and sitting on the hood, pushing the front of the ski into the water and the rear upwards so that the nozzle sticks out of the water but the intake is still below the water linee

    UPDATE: Got the rectifier issue solved. Seemed to be a bad ground. Fired the ski up and tested the voltage at the battery to be 12.5 . Isn't that a little low? shouldn't it be more like 13.5? If so, what do i check next? stator? and I'm having a bogging issue. The ski fires right up and...

    UPDATE: I installed the external rectifier from Only SeaDoo and reinstalled the carbs. No spark AT ALL. checked fuses and a couple of other things, still no spark. Disconnected the external rectifier kit and plugged the stock connector back into the mag housing and it fired up like a champ...

    hmm.. this is so odd. Do you think I should leave mine the way it is routed, or reroute to use both holes?

    Which color engine and manifold do you have? If you could do that for me it would be greatly appreciated but if you can't I understand and wish you a good trip!

    Thanks. That line is in the correct spot. it is hooked up on both ends. Since I evidently have the 5625, I'm assuming that is my only line?

    we have the same ski. Mine looks exactly like your avatar pic. How many pee hole lines do YOU have and where do they start/end? thanks in advance!

    I have the silver engine but the white manifold, stator cover etc. On my ski, the line that is at the top of the manifold is going to the water valve on the exhaust. I will take pictures of everything tomorrow if i need to.

    I also found this diagram on a website. It shows the hoses routed the way most people have been telling me it should be. I see that there are two models of the 1998 GSX limited. the first diagram I posted shows the 5625. this diagram shows the 5629. Can anyone explain this to me?

    everyone I've talked to has told me that. But i found this diagram in the online manual and this is how my ski is set up. Is this acceptable?

    UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't fixed the ski yet. I ordered the external rectifier that the Doc prescribed. it will be here today and I already have a new gasket kit so I will start putting everything back together this evening. I'm really hoping this fixes it but if...

    can you trace this line from the pee hole for me? Mine has been accidentally disconnected and I can't figure out where the other end leads to. your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I finally got a chance to get the carbs off and cleaned up. I'm about to order the external rectifier harness and some new gaskets. I noticed today that I had a hose that was unplugged and I'm not sure where it's supposed to go. One end is connected to the right hole on the back of the ski that...

    Thanks for the link. I'll pick that up instead. now i just have to get the carbs off. I worked forever trying to get the mag side top carb bolt off. still can't get it. I'll have to finish up tomorrow. But in the process of replacing the battery, I pulled one of the hoses that runs to the water...

    well, i don't know that for sure. I took it up to my local dealer today and asked them to look at it. the technician told me they have had several up there recently that had bad mpem's. It's just an assumption really. What sort of tests can I do to find out exactly what it is that's causing the...

    I'm going to take your advice and pull the carbs and start from scratch. couple of questions about the adjustments screws. where is the idle adjustment located? and i see the high and low speed adjustment screws but which is which? (ie: high speed on top of carb) also, I hooked the battery up to...
