You can use OEM Orange 1 coolant , it's the same.

In the fuse box , it is black , quite large and has 4 blade style pins under it.

No that is not normal , it's telling you you have a problem and there is a code.

Could be the starter solenoid , maybe a bad connection , starter button bad.

You suspect oil pressure so I was making a suggestion , the oil pressure will make a continuous alarm until the problem is cleared , if the computer sees oil pressure for 15 seconds the alarm will clear itself , so I was suggesting a hose assembly which is relatively cheap to make to test the...

The manual says if the crank and cam locking tools are in place and the marks are close to level then you're done. There is some variation for new chain and stretch , the minor adjustment is in the 3 bolts and the cam so that is why the marks are out a little , but if both locks are in then you...

I would look at the 30 amp relay

You need the locking tools to time it , you can use a rod but the tools are the best way , you should get a service manual , it tells you all the things you need to know to put it back together. The crank and bearings are not in good shape

If it has an alarm that's continuous then it will be throwing out a code which you should be able to read or retrieve using a reader, shooting it with the parts cannon is usually not the best way to go. However by process of elimination you can manually check the oil pressure. At the end of the...

I would get a shortblock , it looks like the bolts are broken off in the crank and there's no way to get those out without damaging the crank , it looks like they tried to reuse the old bolts or they didn't follow the correct torque procedure with new ones. In any case the old engine would...

If you have the ability put a manual gauge on it and see if it's the oil pump or possibly the the pressure bypass or maybe an electrical issue or maybe a plugged screen due to debris. At the end of the head near the TOPS sensor there's a 1/8'' plug , if you take that out you can screw in a...

If that is oil and not water then good, but the pitting on the plugs is saying something bad is going on , either really old plugs or water getting into the intake. If there is no water then just try changing the plugs and see if it improves , use thread ant-seize if you can.

It looks like you have an intercooler leak , is your oil milky color ? The plugs are in very poor condition , the first one looks like it has water on it , second one is very corroded. You can remove the hoses from the intercooler and get some fittings and pieces of hose and make a pressure...

You cannot have a good pressure test and be losing coolant , it has to either be in the crankcase , bilge , or leaking out the ride plate. You could have a bad head gasket but that would result in the coolant in the bilge, leaking seal in the water pump would be in the bilge , stuck thermostat...

When the Bendix is acting up it is a good idea to replace it as it can take out the teeth on the ring gear because Seadoos do not use an arm to engage the ring gear before it applies electricity to the starter like many vehicles do , they use centrifugal engagement which is not the best but it...
