Could this be caused by a leaking needle seat?

It was just a basic Sea-Doo seal kit. Did not include the needles. I had two new ones that I never used from a different project. I just recheck high and low needle settings , they were off a small amount , new plugs no real change. Idles great, zero to 1/4” throttle seems fine. About that I...

Hi all Trying to get a 95 spx running and have a few questions. Just rebuilt the twin carbs, and the motor ideals fine. Has trouble getting up to speed. If I quickly pull the choke the engine will get up to full speed. Is this caused by a bad needle and seat ? Installed are the old 1.2 needles...

Ok, It turns out the problem was the MPEM, the module turns off power after 30 sec when then engine stops, this is normal. The MPEM must have an internal failure causing the engine to turn off. Anyhow, replaced the MPEM and all is fine now.

I see many threads about using the 451M relay, good idea i'm going to order one. Someone mention replacing the inline fuse because it sometimes trips and this is not east to replace with a thermal fuse. Does anyone know what size thermal fuse is required, i want to order both the 451m and the...

I just replaced the impeller on my SP, but also broke the fitting pump 293700019 when pulling it out . I have the new part on order but want to clean out the broken piece by retapping. Does anyone know the tap size ? Maybe 3/8” or 1/2” not sure.

Thank you, thank you. It was as simple as a few weeds stuck around the intake.

Hi all, so I’m new to jet skis, picked up a 96 sp and so far very happy with it. Had to clean carbs and changes fuel lines but all is good with motor. Today it’s making what I would call slipping on take off. Compared to a snow machine it’s like the clutch is slipping. Motor is strong and...

Perfect thank you

Great thanks

Hi everyone , sorry for a basic question however I’m new to Sea-Doo jet skis. Last weekend I picked up a 1996 SP jet ski for my daughter and I know nothing about the oil requirements. I assume the gas Is pre mix to 50:1 ? Is that correct ? And what is the oil cap with the dip stick ? Located...
