2002 717cc GTI Motor is installed and the drive shaft is not attached My question is, is it ok to run the engine and is there a time limit for how long without having the ski in the water or on the hose? Thanks

I would try vise grips after using some heat and PB

you just did the easy part!!! when you install the carb back on make sure you align and adjust the "oil pump arm correctly" or the oil pump will be wide open all of the time and your ski will be a moving mosquito killer with all of the smoke coming out of the back---just went threw this install...

Replaced the carb, all filters, all check valves and spark plugs--started great on the trailer Took it to the ramp, started in the water went for 10 minutes or so and died--forgot to put in the drain plugs--no comments please Pulled the spark plugs, got the ski going, starts great, still has...

I had the same problem with a 2000 GTI and 2002 GTI This is what I did 1- made sure compression was good 2-changed carburetor, gray fuel lines, inline fuel filter, water separator filter, fuel valve and the 2 check valves that go threw the hull and changed the spark plugs sounds a lot worse...

I bought a carburator for the same ski last month, in fact I just started it up last night. The first place I checked was Riva Racing Products that advertises on this sight but they didn't show pricing. I ended up ordering from www.watercraftsuperstore.net. If you should order from them make...

I have a 2000 and 2002 GTI I was changing the oil filter on the 2000 and noticed the filter was in backwards. The larger OD was towards the back of the ski and the arrow was also pointing towards the larger OD. The replacement filter also has the same configuration If you look on the...

Replaced all 4 motor mounts Aligned the motor--thanks Kevin for the tool rental Replaced all fuel lines ,filters, reserve switch, check valves, carburetor Now before I install the drive shaft, I'm assuming it is ok to start the engine without causing any damage since the carbon seal is not...

thanks for the info contacted rhass and have a new set on their way also I do ride in salt water--your theory is holding up Gary

Started to replace the drive shaft and carbon seal and could not understand how the shaft separated from the motor. Decided to take off the jet pump thinking the shaft broke in half--this was not the case. Looking at it further all 4 motor mounts broke--as best as I could tell so far the mounts...

thanks sent him a PM

Looking for a reputable carb rebuild service. I could try to do myself but since not having done this before would like to have it done on the outside. Anyone have any suggestions Thanks as always Gary
