Thanks doc.... You have confirmed my worst suspicions, tomorrow the carbs come back off....

Ok guys , i thought i knew my stuff when it came to 787 carb'd skis, but i guess not, recently ( and by recently i mean over the last month) i have rebuilt my buddy's 97 GSX 787. Im talkin the ski had a waterlocked trashed block, water filled rear ebox, and cracked hull. We got a new shell ...

Also have Fuel sending unit .........pretty sure it needs a new floaty.... and two oil tanks and an oil pump assembly.

Alright, so today my buddy and I picked up a used GSX hull from Florida....and it is spotless...... the PO parts out seadoos and does a terrible job at it... so we will have a few extra parts when we are done transplanting the stuff from his broken hull to the new one.... so I figured i would...

thanks doc! just out of curiosity,have you ridden one? or any 587? Im interested to see how this runs in comparison to my buddies kawi Sea Cow...... I know its no 787... but does it even do 40? lol

Thanks doc..... Sooo is there any way to test the Rev limiter if it's good or bad? It's like a 70 dollar part lol

Hey guys, my buddy has a 91 GT with a clean engine......it has sat for a while but the ski looks good and has good compression.... it turns over , but there is no spark coming from either plug ..... we checked fuses.... they are good....any ideas? I don't know if this thing even has a rectifier...

Looks Good!

Thanks Guys.... guess im gonna pass on this one.

Alright.... so if the XP doesnt have the MPEM but has gauges..... what then? can i splice connect the gauges in the xp to the connections coming from the GSX mpem?

yeah, i know they are both 787s ... .mostly just the wiring , jet pump, and gauges concern me.... also... if the xp doesnt have a gas tank, can the gsx tank fit? i thought the xp's had smalller tanks.

Thats what i was thinking..... im fairly good with wiring.... and i have all the manuals...... we want something that we can do in less than a week ( i did the motor in 3 days lol ) and fiberglass is not our forte.....

Ok, so my buddy has a 97 GSX 787 carbureted, and i literally just rebuilt the entire driveline on the ski with a whole new Short block and new seals , lines, etc. And we get it out for the first time and the damn thing has a very badly patched crack on the left front side of the hull, and it...
