You can certainly check the rave valves. Easy enough to do. There is not much to taking them apart and checking-cleaning them.

"Some" rattling from the pump out of water is normal. It shouldn't vibe.

Do you know the history of any jet pump work done to it? The old 587 seadoo I have, had the same problem. Ran fine but just wouldnt spool up. I found that a 720 impeller was put in it. I changed it to a 16-21 and it runs like a top. What is in there for a prop? I have a thread here in...

Never ever known a basic naturally aspirated carbed 2 stroke engine that didn't have some hesitation if you just punch the throttle to full and hold it there. As with ANY strung out and piped 2 stroke - when you drive these things you have to "pump" the throttle a little to jump off of idle to...

My thoughts exactly ... X2 ... Re crank seal. Some oil is injected with the fuel through the rotary valve. However, the crank bearings are also injected in 100% oil bath. If the crank bearing seal are worn or popped out of place, that oil is drawn up through the cylinder ports - giving the...

I understand the dess posts on these things can sometimes go bad. Perhaps it is that? I really do not know how to check this, or what the symptoms of a bad post are. On mine, I can get power onto the gauges without putting the key on by tapping the start button or the vts button. It will not...

Here is quoted prior other thread post on old doos. This is your todoo list. ------------------ On the machines that "haven't run in years", the main concerns are: - internal corrosion in the engine (bearings, rings, pins) - sludging/gumming of the old lubricants (oil) - stale gas - dry...

About the pads. They have been fairly hard and stiff right from new. So it is not clear what the problem is that you are trying to fix. Krylon, Rustoleum, and Flex-Seal make a clear no slip sprays that you could try top the pads with if you are wanting more grip. Not the sand stuff. It...

Manuals for research and reference: For some reason the boards trumps the text for this link so hopefully you figure this address out. All one word. Seadoo manuals dot net

Here is a quote of one of my posts in a separate thread, re old doos. Hope it helps! ------------- On the machines that "haven't run in years", the main concerns are: - internal corrosion in the engine (bearings, rings, pins) - sludging/gumming of the old lubricants (oil) - stale gas -...

K - kool. You can doo a search here of my other posts on this forum. You will find a couple about reviving old seadoos, carb details and needle settings links. Hope it helps. [emoji106]

It is probably not misfiring from load. It is more likely that on the trailer and spinning out (impeller/wear ring slippage, weeds, etc) in the water it is hitting the rev limiter which automatically then retards the ignition timing and spark intermittence to lower the rpm. It will sound like...

Yes exactly. They provide lift to the stern of the boat at low speeds AND add a "suspension" to you boat ride at cruise speeds. They absolutely transform the boat. Hands down the best money that I ever spent on a boat.

If the "key" is left on the machine, the electronics stay powered up. If you have it parked on the trailer for a day or overnight and left the key on it - your battery will be drained. Whenever I am going to park it for more than a couple days, I also disconnect the positive(red) battery wire...
