Yes, exact issue I had on the 97' GTX, RAVE blade fell out of the threads and it dropped several hundred RPM and at least 5 mph on top. The solution is another RAVE housing, not just a threaded cap. The excessive housing wear causes excessive vibration which strips the threads. How do I know...

Are you scared to sell them? You know more than anyone what you should sell them for, stick a price on them and find out. They're either going to sit a while or not. It's a unique buyer as it is and without a trailer is going to be your challenge, most people want them on a trailer. Then you...

Melting and dripping 1/4" poly line onto the tank seam, which the tank itself is polypropylene, fuses the seam very well. I did this 4 yrs ago on the GTX rebuild and haven't had a leak yet.

Ingenuity, whatever works!! I was going to say earlier that any of the starter bolts should work as an alternative.

Get the airbox out the way and it's easier.

C clip is a running change, there is a possibility of the oring failing allowing a leak as you describe. I bought the c clip by itself on ebay, and I've also bought the carbon seal kit, which includes a new c clip, so either way. I don't see a downside swapping the rubber bumpers around on...

No balance shaft on that ski, I'd say it could be a twisted crankshaft? hard to say why it's vibrating that bad, check all the motor mounts, which I'm sure you have, and make sure they haven't deteriorated loose.

This is one area you want to "spare no expense" like you say. New OEM needles and seats, new genuine OEM carb kits, verify pop off, etc. The carb skis are very flakey if they're not perfect, same for the fuel entire fuel system, any leaks (sucking air) at the fuel selector, fuel filter and so...

I've never visited a Seadoo dealer since I bought my 97' GTX in 2017. Regular red synthetic grease is fine for the PTO boot. Also, as mentioned above, may want to replace that oring with a c clip. As far as the oetiker clamps, I hate those things, once removed I had switched to SS ties...

I'd list it as is, you'll sell it. Not many days you see a 1 owner very clean 96' XP with a bunch of goodies. Stick a price on it and see...I'd start at $3900 to $4500. Somebody on the FB page recently sold a basically stock restored 93' SP for $3500.

Stored in both ECU (MPEM) and info gauge, and it's a different. I found this when connecting my Candoo Pro to my 2 skis. Assuming I have original info gauges, I noticed the MPEM was higher, I'm not sure why, might be related to "DESS attached" vs. "on" vs. "running", I'm not sure.

I sent one of the admins a personal message the other day about how it puts the FB page in a bad spot. Dan is running a business that is bordering on fraudulent, which you'd think the page doesn't endorse people that have done bad business practices, much less stay on as a moderator. Response I...

To add insult, Dan from Fullbore is a moderator on the FB page. I’ve brought it up before to the admins, business owners that support the community shouldn’t be moderators, it’s a conflict, this includes Nick from OSD, who has in the past deleted posts to protect his business. I used Group K...

What are the symptoms or run issue? You'll really be disappointed if this dual to single carb doesn't work out. At this point I'd run through the list of other possibilities.

Use a multi meter to ck things like voltage, fuses, and grounds, takes the guess work out of it.
