You have a frustrating issue for sure! Heres a little article on air leaks in these engines and conducting a pressure test on the case etc. Could be a possible cause of whats going on with your situation. Hope you can get it figured out. http://www.groupk.com/tec-airleak.htm

Good to hear you have it solved!. Wiring issues are always a pain to chase and diagnose.

Those 6 pin connectors on top of the rear black eboxes can corrode and lose connections also sometimes they dnt get plugged in all the way etc. As Ckrawiec says, check that yellow/red wire that goes to the rear ebox and connects to your starter solenoid in the ebox…..make sure there is...

I had the exact same problem as you are having with a 96xp hitting waves and shutting off. I also had just replaced the MPEM. You know what it was....the ground wires inside the grey box (where the mpem resides) that bolt down to the grounding posts/grounding plate (inside the grey box) were...

Very nice setup. I like how you hid the outlets and the override switch! I cant see to well but what are the adaptors or whatever that you have attached to your battery to enable the cables to be attached to the side?

That's frustrating: I would do as mikidymac said above and pull the carbs and go through Mikidymacs carb rebuild tutorial and pay extra attention to the three transition holes in the carb body and cleaning them out with carb cleaner. As the throttle blade sweeps open fuel is fed through these...

Are your plugs fouling? Are they soaked with fuel after you crank it? Do you have some dry plugs to try? Take the plugs out and crank it to blow any excess fuel in the cylinders out. Fouled plugs and too much fuel will cause a no start. Try different dry plugs after you think the cylinders...

jjsinaz-I know I have posted on the midrange threads before that it was my water regulator on my 96 GTX that caused my midrange problem. After rebuilding the water regulator the problem did subsided but...... However, I just rode the 96 GTX last week (my other family members have been the...

I'll throw this one out there for you guys. Not saying this is your problems but something easy to look into. My 96 GTX had trouble running and it was because of clogged fuel tank vent lines. Found some Styrofoam balls stuck in one of them. Another time, I had overturned the ski and the vent...

You might need to cut the yellows but they should have bullet connectors on them from the factory. But maybe someone already replaced the rectifier during the skis life and didn't use them. Usually your local autoparts store will have weatherproof heat shrink type wire bullet connectors on the...

jjsinaz….Im hoping that your work on your water regulator fixes it for you. I know what a pain it is to fight these problems.

jjsinaz- I know you have been on the other recent threads about the water control regulators being problems So I know you know about that. I just wanted to point out that I watched your video and that is how my 96 GTX acted and it was a blown apart (loose top clamp /rusted lower clamp/hole in...

Ive had backfiring occur because of low battery voltage to the MPEM. Even had it where the engine would start and run then die cause battery voltage to the MPEM dipped below 11 volts or so. It would start with a backfire though the exhaust then run a short time and die. The low batt voltage...

There is the top stainless steel band clamp on the top of the bellows that can be tightened by the small screw. Then there is a steel clamp ring on the bottom of the rubber bellows that rusts cause it is steel and actually pokes into the bottom of the bellows and sometimes creates a hole. Its...

I have a 96 GTX.....it had a 1/4 - 3/4 throttle hesitation when I first got it and then would run awesome at anything 3/4 to full throttle. I went through all the carb rebuilding strategies (rebuilt twice with Mikuni) and even tried different pilot jets and popoff springs. Went leaner and...
