Sorry for the long winded post, but I want to recap what I have going on the best I can. Basically the ski wont idle for more than a few seconds before it dies. If I rev it up, it will stay running, but this is out of the water. I believe I have either something hooked up wrong or I have...

It’s not your wear ring if your rpms are topping at 5800. Is your fuel pressure 107 under load when the issue happens ? Or on the trailer just idling. Have you cleaned the raves just to be sure? You said the maint light is on? No codes? Have you looked at the air injectors or tested the...

Following this thread. Curious to see the outcome. What kind of ball is that and can you still get the old design like this? That looks really cool and easy for people with all sorts of trailers (me)

DI cost more because the balance shaft is different where they have the high pressure air compressor piston

You should be fine. Like I said i just prefer the oem ones.

Yes. And I have seen them strip out or break due to engine vibrations etc. I do not trust anything personally besides those oetiker clamps that I KNOW do not come off. Again my personal preference.

I do not trust those clamps. I only use oetiker clamps.

Do not jump it!

I have seen the aftermarket pumps test fine on the trailer and be low in the water or under load

There’s a wix one that works. Search the forum for the number.

Sounds right. I’ll have to check. I just grab the one that fits from my box haha

Few carnage pics.... You can cut out the old filter and clamp in a new one but you need double oetiker clamps. I use a wix filter from the auto parts store and replace it every year.

I had one that the air compressor piston blew out of the side of the block. This one ran about 5000 rpm with that much damage. You never know what’s going on until you start doing the diagnostics and eliminating the good pieces.

It’s oem or the high flow pump. All others are junk. The high flow people seem to have issues with. I have used 3 not a single issue... key I believe is new filters and a good install.

Some do it ... I do not risk it. It’s very high pressure you’re just asking for an accident. Then when you cut it you have to worry about getting it safe afterwards. If you go this route I recommend oetiker clamps only! And double them up.
