1995 Seadoo XP - removed the carbs for maintenance but when trying to re-assemble, the mounting plate is off. Nothing in the guide about alignment scenarios like the exhaust manifold and top end cylinders. Has anyone seen this before? Even though it's running OK without a lot of vibration...

Hi - I have a 1995 Seadoo XP and have an assembly question. I have used 1211 with glazing the gaskets initially to keep the gasket in place ( manifold, cylinder gasket ) Sometimes I use a little more. Now I'm wondering if a gasket is used it's not good to add any extra squish and just let the...

I've completed the rebuild on the lower end. Lubed the crankshaft/rotary gear/ seals and bearings with oil as I don't know how long it will be before I have the oil system hooked up. Rebuild the carbs with mikuni parts and verified popoff. Problem now is I have to break away from the project...

Hmm..Can’t find the ones for the 717.. do you have the link?

Pics of the boot and ring. XP has a splined shaft and slides into the impeller boot. The ring 'cone' tapers down to the flare and creates a snug fit ( original boot pic ). These must be for a larger diameter shaft as the cone is way too big and slides freely on the drive shaft and over the...

1995 Seadoo XP - ordered my 2nd wrong impeller boot kit this one from SBT. The cone part is way too big and slides over the flared part of the shaft rather than bumping up snug to it. My understanding is this boot and cone keeps the grease from washing out of the impeller. Before I rig up...

OK so I did cut my own shims from sheet metal courtesy of Lowes. Similar to the ones in the link in the earlier comments sold as a pack. And they work great. No need to spend $40. It is tedious but worth it. I used roughly 9 shims to get the alignment right. I wanted to also share how I...

Yes I had to use a screwdriver to position the clip facing up then with the plunger part you pushed the clip into the opening, use the round ball end to push the clip into the groove if it hasn’t gone in already

Yes I see the sbt shim kits which they say are OEM replacements but looks like 1/2 the dimensions of the original shim. Only goes on 1 side / under 1 bolt. Is that right? seems like it would not be as effective as the original which is the same dimensions as the base of the motor mount...

When I pulled my motor I had to replace all 4 motor mounts. Each had a few shims and I kept up with where they went. But they are so corroded and flimsy that they are breaking in half. Can't believe that if I did put the pieces back that it would still have the same leveling qualities as when...

I just finished replacing the starter brushes. Bench tested and it did spin what I think is the right way (counter clockwise) . As a sanity check and before I drop the motor in... I'd like to be sure the starter cranks, engages, and spins the flywheel as in the pic. Don't want to have...

Thanks. I picked up the cheapest w/free shipping I could find and had to guess on the 20mm but that actually worked out OK. Only negative was it took a week to get here. No instructions but I figured it out. Didn't want to buy any more single use tools but the time I would've spent trying...

With piston in hand and easy access the I can get the first outside clip in ok. Its when it's on the wrist pin and in a fixed position that it gets awkward and frustrating. Thanks will give your workflow a go.

Looking to invest in the installation tool. I have the 2 outer circlips installed but when the wrist arm is installed I can't get the remaining 2 in. New ProX pistons and cylinders freshly bored 1 over so don't want to risk scoring or ending up with out of round circlips. I found a few on the...

I did not <sheepish look/> which explains why it snapped off. Googled it and divide the inch lbs by the foot lb gives you close to 7 lbs OK that was my dumb question for the day :) Thanks again
