    Hull weight differences?

    Oh I know it. I had a chance at a clean 96 last summer for $500. I went to look at it. The owners said they really liked it, but it didn't run right and they were quoted huge bill to "figure it out". I saw the problem right away, a fuel line was pulled tight and kinked. I pulled some slack into...

    Vts weird symptoms

    I believe the VTS uses some type of current sensing circuit to shut the motor down. I modified my 94 trim nozzle to get a lot more throw in the up range. When I'm running full throttle it will only trim up a certain distance and then shut the trim motor down. When I back off the throttle I have...

    1994 seadoo spi start button

    Do a continuity check between the two small posts on the solenoid with the wires removed. Unplug your start switch and do a continuity check when you press the button.

    Is it even worth fixing?

    I won't say it will work. But be very gentle and try to clean things up. I've seen worse and had it work. As pointed out by mikidymac, get that compression checked first before putting anything into the machine.

    Hull weight differences?

    Hi guys, long time no talk. Life took a turn, I only rode three times last summer and came REALLY close to dropping dead in November. But things are going good now and I'm looking forward to getting on the water. I had a 91 and 92 xp(s) pretty much given to me when I bought a two place trailer...

    1994 Seadoo xp 657x 0 compression

    With that much damage you need to do a complete tear down. I know you don't want to hear this, but doing a top end without inspecting the crank on this one would be a waste of time and money.

    What was your Most Miserable Bastid ?

    My daily ride, my 94 xp. Both pistons were severely water damaged. One piston had impact damage to the crown, as well as damage to the head, from a washer getting dropped into the cylinder then cranked over. The cylinders were scored, gouged, rusted. The crank had three bad bearings and a...

    2015 spark mag flywheel removal.

    Does anyone know if the mag end of the crank is a tapered shaft or straight? I've never been into one of the ace motors and need to know if I can pull the flywheel straight off a straight shaft or do I need to bring up some tension with the puller and give the puller bolt a sharp tap with a...

    951 operating temp

    Whoa, sorry guys I've been out for a while. The picture was from November 8th actually. I had to stop riding when the ice was half an inch thick on the hull and the throttle froze open. 😅 My experience so far, if it can help. All my cold weather riding is on my 94 xp with the 657x. That...

    1995 Seadoo Gtx, new solenoid, but still clicks.

    A used OEM starter with a good rebuild kit is better than ANY aftermarket starter anyday. Go on ebay, find the cleanest looking oem starter and buy it. Order up a rebuild kit. Take your time doing the rebuild, clean the commutator contacts, put in the new brushes, grease the bearing surfaces...

    1994 Seadoo GTX question

    Do not delete the oil injection. Sea-Doos have a very reliable system and failures are rare.

    Candoo dess cord programing

    Hey Dude! I've been out of things for a while. Got divorced, readjusting life from that, broke my leg and had to sit out last spring for mountain riding. Got the DOOs back on the water for half the summer, the last time I rode was mid August when I took a cute Texas Lady out on a first date and...

    Candoo dess cord programing

    Hey there guys. Hope everyone is doing good. I'm hoping someone can give me a pointer on using the candoopro to program dess caps on a 97 gtx and 98 xp ltd. Back ground here is The two machines run perfect, I only have one dess cord programed for each machine and want to set up all my machines...
