First off I did read through the carb adjustment post But wanted to ask a couple of questions. This is the ski I cobbled together out of a couple of junk skis. The engine and carb are from a 2000 gts and the hull is a 96. I dont think I ever got the adjustments exactly right but it did seem to...

Its warming up so I drug the 96 gts I built last year out of the barn. I winterized it and left it of a battery tender. While I was cleaning it i hit the starter to make sure it fired up and it just spun. Tried it several times. Figuring it must be flooded so I pulled the seat and whoa. A good...

I took the 96 gts that I just cobbled together for the 2nd time last weekend right before the cold front rolled in. It runs great at high speed but not so much for idling. It will idle ok for a bit then start to sputter and if you can hit the choke quick enough it will perk up. If it dies you...

After getting the 96 gts running I turn to this. The real project. It has set for years but looks like low hours. The engine spins over easy. I am sure I will have my hands full with this one and will probably need lots of help.

Today I took the 96 gts out to the lake to test it out. Gave me a little trouble starting at first but then ran flawlessly. A lot of work but not a lot of money in this project. Got it up to 50 mph on the seadoo dreamameter. Now we are going to clean her up and put the stickers on. This forum...

Ordered a replacement seat cover and Im tearing off the old stuff. What fun lol. Does anyone know where I can get 7/16 x 1/4 stainless crown staples?

I have been posting about carb issues. So I started it today to try to adjust the carb and figure out whats going on. Im haveing to pull the choke to get the engine to start and its erratic. At first idling high then revving up for no reason. The thottle blades are shut so no adjustment there. I...

I am making progress on my 96 gts rebuild. To recap it now has a 2000 717 engine and most of all the other parts to the 2000. I rebuilt the carb and I feel I did a decent job. So I got the engine to start up and it sounds good. I am using a premix till the oil pump starts priming as the circuit...

The rubber gauge support is rotted away and I cant find any used ones for a decent price. How can I fix this? I thought of using silicone to make a new support but dont think it would last. Ideas?

2000 gts I picked up for almost nothing. Its sat in the barn for a while after I had some problems getting it to do anything. I bought another mpem for it and it made a sound or 2. Motor was locked up but I got it spinning over but looks like the starter and solenoid are toast. So no big deal...

2000 seadoo gts This is the ski I am rebuilding. I didnt get a key for it so I picked up a non dss mpem from bay area powersports. All the wiring matched colors except a white wire with a black stripe. I only had one wire left from the new box so I figured it must be that one. So hooked up the...

Looks like something supposed to plug into it. 2000 gts.

My 2000 gts needs several things. I found a 96 gts parts ski. Would the pump and ride plate fit my 2000?

I picked this one up Saturday night and drove 60 miles back in darkness with no trailer lights or plates. But I made it. Tires are dry rotted and ski has pounds of leaves and crap in it. Started pressure washing it yesterday. The more I washed the more crap came out of it. It will need paint and...

Has anyone pulled a 717 and stuffed in a 951? I am working on a 2000 gts. I am going to pull the engine anyway might be a good time to perk it up a bit. I was wondering if it would fit.

I had a 96 gts that was really nice low hours and all. I sold it late last year and I have been missing it. Found this 2000 gts on marketplace. No trailer, no title $200 bucks. Kinda beat up but the engine looks pretty good. I was able to turn it over by hand and someone had written 145, 150...

I dont get out very often being in the a/c business. I have a 96 gti that is in really good shape. Not to many hours although I did have to replace the wear ring. I took it out Saturday and while it ran great it has developed a rattle. I dont want to just ride it till its breaks and causes all...

This is a really nice ski that has been garage kept its whole life, but the original lanyard is coming apart. I was able to wrap electrical tape around it at the lake to keep it together but obviously I need to replace it. I see them on Ebay and Amazon but do they need to be programed for this...

Yeah I screwed up. I dont get to ride much as I am in the a/c business and I work lots of hours in the summer. I have been starting the boat every once in a while, in fact just started it 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I got home early and decided to go ride and yep wouldnt start. It has spark so poured...

I dont post on here every time I have a problem but I do a lot of research on the site. So far after getting the doo I have replaced the wear ring, gave it a tune up, new battery, installed hydro turf, repaired the fuel gauge, and repaired the speedometer. She is looking pretty good for this...
