Awesome score. I bought the exact ski for dirt cheap to aid in restoring my 02. You will love the rx. After having All GTXs, I fell in love with the rx and the way the di engines run.
First thing to do is check and verify it’s getting the correct fuel pressure. Di skis need 107psi exactly to run correctly. Did you have the fuel pump out at all to clean/ inspect when you rebuilt the ski? There are two in tank filters/ screens on the pump that should be changed regularly. There...
I had a 97 GTX, an 01 GTX and now the 02 rxdi and the rx is defiantly my favorite. More nimble and better handling ski imo. One thing I did notice tho is the rx doesnt ride near as well as the gtxs in rougher water.
If the battery is only at 11.6v resting and then jumps to 12.6 when it’s running sounds like a weak/ bad battery. I would pull the battery out of the ski and charge it. Let it sit for a few hrs after charging and see what the voltage is then. If you don’t get at least 12.5 I’d throw a new...
Had the ski out again yesterday and noticed when coming off idle if you go wide open I have some cavitation when it’s coming up on plain, almost like when riding in rough choppy water and the ski comes out off the water momentarily. Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks for the info. I just wasn’t sure if the impeller was hurting performance since the engine is hitting its drag limit sooner. It has a nice hole shot and great acceleration so I’m gonna leave it alone. I’m also 235lbs so I guess 58 mph top speed isn’t bad. I know one thing, the di skis get...
Finally got a full day on the water yesterday and did some top speed gps pulls. I’m getting 58mph and 6640 is the top wot rpm. I know the mph is right in the ball park but the rpm seems a bit low. I have a solas concord 15/20 impeller and I’m thinking maybe that’s a bit too much for a stock di...
Yes, remove the nuts holding the unit in the tank. It will take a little finessing to get out just be carful of the float and rod for the fuel gauge when removing the canister from the tank. I ordered my filters from eBay just search Seadoo di pump filters and they should come up.
I would find a way to verify fuel pressure. Another thing your gonna find out is that having a candoo pro is almost a must when having a DI. Didn’t take me long to realize that lol.
