Basically the same thoughts I had..., "how did it break and did I do it"? Sounds like there is a common issue however. I'm not a trained tech just to be clear on any advise here. My ski probably had been running for a while with no issue involving the check valve being broken. I assume the...

Will do, THX!!

Hey anyone have a thought on if I need to buy a new check valve after I found it inside the oil tank? Had no idea it had even broken off until I had to replace my leaky tank. I'm buying a new filler nozzle and was hoping to just reuse the check valve..., think it's still functional?

Any suggestions to what position the RAV valve adjustment knobs should be for best top end? I have read to unscrew them 3 turns out starting from all the way in making them flush with cap. I have mine one more turn outward (4 turns from 0) and the knobs sit up maybe 1/8" above cap.

Happy to report the new OEM rectifier did the trick. Running 6720 RPMs with no miss. Yee-Haw! Thanks to all that helped me get it going again!

If you're in the market for a Yamaha Wave runner…, here's you deal! Garage kept all it's life and incredibly well maintained. It's in awesome shape for a 98! Even the vinyl seat shows no signs of wear. Stills runs like a bat-out-of-hell (about 63 mph), and with torque out the wazoo! Will jump...

Thanks, gonna pull it, test it quickly to verify, then buy a new OEM for sure. I hope this is not a repeat of the new OEM fuel pump wearing out the rectifiers, then the battery syndrome all over again. I'd hoped the "OEMs that be" would have "rectified" that problem. (yuk yuk) ;D

Hey is there are way to diagnose a main. code via the VCK without BUDS? It's now jumping to limp mode after about 2 - 3 seconds of starting and revving? Maint light come with 1 sec beeps... limps to mid speed around 4000 rpms... Maybe a clue to my top end miss? Also I haven't replace my...

FYI: Kyle has relocated to Knoxville and is no longer doing repairs...

I'm in the same boat ;DD. America's motor sports in Madison no longer works on 2-cycle engines like a DI, and my experience is they are expensive, too busy, and are not able to spend time really digging into your PWC issues. The best guy they had John, left a few years ago. .... If there is...

High speed mis: Had an experienced tech tell me there were lots of issues with the ground to injector connections. Going to try some Detoxit on the injector connectors as well as the MPEM connections... I'll keep ya posted ;D. Thanks for all the help dudes!

Oops! $2250.

Yes, they pretty much have always looked OK. Change them out at the beginning of every season ever since I have owned it. What do you think I should look into from here, injectors? Last year when I had the aftermarket fuel pump rig with the rubber pipe and copper sleeve and clamps, something...

Not seeing any water spots or rust. Course I did ride for 4 days after the initial low rpm problem that cleared up to be a high speed mis at 6600 rpms. I notice cylinder 1 has a darker plug than cylinder 2... see photos.
