I see those first few replies that show the ball scupper valve that everyone sent, but I do not see anything like that on my boat, the only “holes” on the back of the boat are smaller than that, the same size as the water output for the engine cooling lines. So maybe they don’t have a scupper...

On my 94 speedster I’m having issues with taking on water pretty quickly when idling or sitting. If I idle or sit for about 15 minutes my feet will be pretty covered in water. When I plane out it will start to go out the scupper valve. I do have a bilge pump to keep up with it but it is just...

That’s a very good point, that battery is also right behind the tank so that can be a big explosion waiting to happen. Spoke with the guy on the ski and he described the battery cables as “jank” so I’m sure the battery had a big chance of being the issue

I always look for that on mine too and for some reason I haven’t seen it on both of my x4s. I’ll have to get them replaced on both of mine when I get the chance. This was a 94 xp I’m not sure if it has the same tank as the x4s

See that was the answer I was looking for. I understand how a leaky fuel line can make gas pour out, but I figured there was no way spark could ignite outside of the engine. A faulty spark plug wire could do it

Was on my speedster today and I witnessed something that I have never seen before. A 94 XP blew up on this guy and burned completely. He told me he fell off of it and got back on and right after he started it it blew up. He said it was hard to start and not running right when it blew up. I do a...

Ok, was planning on replacing them anyway but I just thought that was interesting.

I just picked up a 93 gtx and I noticed the fuel lines were black and didn’t have any tempo writing on them. At first I thought they were replaced but then I saw they had “1993” stamped on them. Is there a chance seadoo made a few skis in 93 without tempo fuel lines? I can upload pictures in the...

Thanks I’ll have to get them from there. I’ll try to salvage a little bit of thread to test it out

Does anyone have a place to get those screws locally? What size are they?

That seems like a better option for me as I already have a spot hole started for the drill

Thanks for the advice, I’ll have to give that a try

Yeah I have a jis screwdriver for it, whoever did this last used a Phillips on it and thought they had to torque it to some crazy tension so they were really chewed up and extremely tight

I’ve never had these screws this bad, what does anyone do here? Should I drill them out?

Well I bypass the fuel selector and tested it today and the problem was still there. The carbs weren’t in the best condition so I will try swapping all of my genuine Mikuni parts into my spare carbs and seeing if that fixes the problem. one of my pilot jets are really chewed up, where can I get...
