We replaced an engine in buddy's Sea Doo and cannot figure out where the pulse line is supposed to run to from the carb port? I figure it needs vacuum from somewhere on the intake but we cannot find a missing nipple or port to connect the line to that is coming out of the carb. Thanks for...

Hi guys, A friend of mine purchased a rebuilt motor and took it in to have it professionally installed locally. The local installation mechanic is claiming that there is no way this is a rebuilt motor and that the crank seals are no good and the top end was the only thing rebuilt. It's tough...

I put it in the freezer overnight to see if it helps. Was told to grind some of the opening out and see if that helps. Pulled engine for a rebuild and for some reason I cannot get the starter to seat into the cavity. It seems as if it’s a couple thousandths too large or something? Anyone ever...

This will be my first time installing an engine into a seadoo. 1996 speedster with the dual 717’s. Is close good enough or do I need to make one of those tools out of the 18 mm rod?

Please see 2 photos. Should I replace that rotary valve cover or have it machined down? The oil dripped out from the back and is not coming from the nose cone seal area.. Are there internal seals on the pump shaft/housing? You can see the oil drip line if you look close inside there.. Should...

Pretty sure my lower end let loose today. Seized up. I see rebuild kits online anywhere from 300-550. Complete rebuilt for $850-$1200 with core. It seems like a cracked rod or rod bearing. Looked in the pump and impeller is all clear but will disconnect pump to be sure. Driver side turns...

Mine is like the photo but I’m needing to move it and looking for ideas. Another user posted one of it over in the opening for the pump ride shoe..it was on a 97 and on my 96 the cable isn’t long enough to reach over there.. If anyone can take a photo like that of where their speedometer pickup...

I’ve read through it 2-3 times and have been looking for it using search and browsing around for 30 mins or so. Checked how to section as well and just can’t seem to find it. It was from one of the well respected members such as dr Honda, seadoosnipe, racerxxx, bill86e or the like and had...

I have a 96 Speedster and am about to pull the trigger on one of those nauticas stainless smart tabs to install in the center of the rear of the transom. The drain plug I will be able to keep in place but wouldn’t the speedometer read inaccurate if I leave it where it is and trim around the tab...

I finally got this thing running half way decent to where I felt comfortable putting it out on the water. It runs very strong from half throttle to WOT. Especially the driver side engine in the upper RPM. The passenger side runs good but doesn’t feel as strong in the upper RPM. Oddly the...

Replaced both oil pumps due to the fact that the previous owner was running pre mix and I’d prefer to use the oil injection system. I have everything all back together and took it down to back into the water last night on trailer, trying to get carbs straightened out so it will run and wanted...

I may have an issue where I’ll need help getting a carb or four rebuilt. Went thru them but couldn’t get a few of the fuel block screws out. Thanks for any pointers, Donnie

I finally got one of the engines fired up on this thing, the other engine has two broken exhaust studs that I found. :( My issue is that even after letting it run for a minute on the hose it wants to die when I rev the throttle up to about 1/3 throttle. It’ll idle fine but once I open the...

If Dr. Honda or someone could chime in please, I’m just wondering where I should put the Fram G 12 fuel filter with the dual engines? Do I need to separate filters or is there a spot where both lines Tee before entering the carbs? Thanks so much I’m almost there on this thing!!

I’ve got a really slow oil leak after replacing both my oil pumps and I’m wondering if maybe I overfilled the oil tank. I put exactly 2 gallons in but there was maybe a pint to a quart left at the bottom when I did it. The only place that I can see oil dripping is from the little valve at the...

So I had been dealing with an issue where all gauges light up but the engine wouldn’t turn over. After pulling the shifter back out and loosening up a couple of the plastic flathead screws that I tightened up thinking they might be the cable tightening adjusters for the throttle...the boat...

See attached..the little flapper seems to be worn and I’m wondering if this is why I have to jam a plastic bag down under my feet into that hole to get it to stop leaking?

Any ideas? I’ve been working on replacing all fuel lines, fuel filters, rebuilt all 4 carbs, fixed gas gauge, tightened throttle cables, replaced both fuel control valves, replaced both oil pumps to get injection system working, replaced bilge pump, replaced both wear rings and changed pump...

Everything else electrical seems to work but neither engine will crank over. Is there some type of safety mechanism for when the pumps are removed that won’t let it crank? Thanks so much Donnie

I’ve got one side completely pulled apart and have now done it probably 5 times in the last month. On the other side, I’ve got the pump mounted up and even cut the bellows off with a razor blade. I’m praying the same way I did the other side and it just will not allow the little steel...
