Yea the 2 strokes I hear are very picky when it comes to detonation. I always run 93 for this Reason. I do have another xp but the engine needs to be rebuilt. Piston got cooked from detonation

understood I’ll do some more troubleshooting today or tomorrow. Although it wasn’t a terrible amount of water I’d still like to try and solve the issue

Understood. I’ll take a look when it stops raining. Also..... noticed a bit of water in the hull after that ride... what’s the most common deal to fail on the sea doo? I haven’t done a visual inspection yet although I should before posting but just curious. Will be a day or 2 before I get to...

I took it out a couple days ago about 70 degrees. It was a cold ride but I opened it up for about 10 seconds and she ran great. Trim motor is good too. What is the procedure to inspect the impeller? I’d like a little bit more speed and acceleration but I’d still be happy if she ran like that all...

Gents. I nabbed the xp from the cabin..... brought her home and did some power washing replaced the plugs and had to get a battery but she lives! Now I have to put it in the water and check for leaks, tune carbs, some buffing and possibly an impeller. Hopefully I can keep it alive for the...

Good to know we have some fuel experts on the pwcf! And some business owners too. Good insight on a lot of things comes from that

500$ shipped sounds pretty good I’ll definitely use that as my baseline. I’m excited for the season that’s for sure. I have to run up north to get the ski so I can compression check it and replace some fuel lines but that should be within 2 weeks..... then I can start doing the fun stuff...

Makes sense. I’ve heard guys say that absorbing water wasn’t that big of an issue but he was talking about street cars. Not skis. The big reason hot riders like E85 is the boost and you can run more timing and more compression. With this 787xp ski I plan on replacing the impeller with...

thanks that’s cool. Big is good. What’s the 787 in a nutshell? Kind of like the big block of seadoo?

Oh btw silly question but what motor would be in a 96 Xp? I know it’s the big motor but I don’t know what it displaces

Matt.... thanks for the tip I’ll get one of those tacs..... I like buying things once that’s why I ask about something simple as a tach.

Ahh I see any part numbers for me? I’ll take your guys words on speedos. I saw a few on eBay that were stock style but I’ve never used a gps speedo

I will be sure to add a tach. The speedos on these things any kind of reliable? Mine would cruise about 52 last I remember.

Thanks for the write up I’ll be sure to stay away from E85. I’ll start looking at pipes, are pipes for skis like impellers? You get either top speed or acceleration but can’t really get both? I’m a balanced style I’d rather see gains in both speed and acceleration over having the fastest mph...
