Popps i just saw your question about which bearing. It's the Mag side rod bearing. I was following the shop manuals procedure for purging the small oil lines of air by cranking it and let it idle while holding the oil pump wide open. I was doing that for about 30 to 45 secs but it started...

Burt thanks for the reply. Would you happen to have a phone # for this place. I believe I would like to chat with them about price and time frame for work and such.

thanks for the reply and sorry to hear about your slow times in the shop but I believe my best bet is to get a short block form somewhere like Competitive crankshaft, SBT, any other suggestions would be appreciated, hopefully with the "No Fault" warranty that's a bit more reasonable than SBT's...

1996 Seadoo GSX came with the 787 twin carb motor

thanks guys for all the feed back but wound up buying new carbs and got it back together and spun a bearing within 5 min of starting it up. so who has a great reputation for reman motors

I have spun a bearing and looking to get a reman and would like to know where to get it from. looking at SBT but read they use lower quality parts. Is this true? any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks FL, I do have new plugs in. Not sure about how to go about testing the lines and at what pressure would be correct to test at. Is their a procedure in the manual? I have a hard copy and have thoroughly went thru it but don't remember a test for fuel lines and not wanting to add to my...

For a 96GSX the factory manual says when replacing the 2 small lines to fire up the engine and as it idles to pull the oil pump wide open and be prepared for lots of smoke but in just a few seconds it will have primed the lines. I would verify this with a 97 Factory manual before attempting this...

Hi, to all that has posted before and helped me thru their posts. your post has saved me many an hour of guess work and testing. Now let me catch me you up on my current troubles. I have a 96 GSX w/787 that has been going thru a on going restoration. I was running good with : new fuel lines...

Hello everyone, I have upgraded a 96 GSX to a GTX compass but it has never worked correctly. Is their a reboot I dont know about or has the module gone bad? it reads in any direction S or SW or SE granted i am in North Carolina and it is the South but ......

I thought i was going to wind up sending Nick @ Westside powersports more money for me a VTS box but after reading extensively about the VTS anf all that is and is not working I figured out my motor was in great shape only thing wrong was the display only shows a portion of thebars moving and...

Thanks buddy, i do believe i have ample time before the weather breaks and the overtime to get it done. Found my leak today, where i used a pry bar to get the exhaust manafold off of the galded bolts it had drove down far enough to chip the top of the rotary valve cover and also had cut the...

Thanks mikidy for all the help and IF I am reading the leak test right it is telling me to check with the raves in for the boot and o-ring and to then remove them to complete the test (per 97' manual) mine is a 96' but to do get the complete testing protocol you have to look at the 97's. So the...

Carb rebuild; The plan to start with is to get these running and then buy a set out of the Midwest that has that never been in salt water tagline with them and have my buddy at the small engine shop rebuild with OEM parts so it would be like a new set. The on /off valve; I have to ask why if...

Hi Paul, just being a bath is a load off my mind, well, as usual, all worked up over nothing. As to fuel lines, it was the first thing I did after reading about them on this site and was so glad that I had looked around for info. I did have a carb fitting or two snap off when I was trying to get...

Ok, have a 96' GSX that has sat for 15 yrs with Amsoil (pumped out and replaced with Amsoil) in the crankcase but have it back to running but it is idling at 4000 and it is not circulating oil thru crankcase. I am thinking that the idle is a air leak, but would that also stop the oil from...

Ok have went thru all the grounds. The one one the rear elct. box was blueish black. Instead of copper color so replaced with 1 size larger. I am now getting a constant light (as opposed to ramdom every third time or seventh or when it felt the whim) at the white line to coil but light seems...

Yes its hooked up but sure about inside the box if its broken or not Sorry about picture It shows meter at lowest setting of ohms and a reading of 1.5 -1.6 I am thinking its a true reading because all the other omh settimgs showed 0.0

Yes, the GSX is the XP with a second seat The photo is where i pulled the black and white spades off the coil to isolate the coil and test for resistance. Per Seadoo Manual My elct. knowledge is weak at best. What i am asking is; Is the meter set to the corect setting (ohms) and does this...

Restoring a 96' GSX It has sat for 15 yrs it only has 173 hrs Tried cranking last night all went well but no spark Have a couple of pictures of me checking the coil. Could someone look at them and see if i am at the right spot on the meter and is the coil bad by what we are seeing ...
