hey lads, turns out it was the spark plug needing replacing. feels bad.

Its definitely a bit confusing, I've seen several posts before people talking about "oh man your compression is <140, definitly need to look at a top end rebuild soon". I'll take your word for it for sure tho. My bad, i learned of this afterwards. Yeah im pretty sure this is the issue. I've...

Speedster 1998 Rotax 787. Both original AFAIK. Hey lads I havn't had my seadoo out for 6 months. There is no such thing as winter where I live just been busy. Engines fired up on the garden hose no problem. Took it out and no problems starting in the water. But after idling out and running low...

I'm away working ATM but Remind me in 3 days I have to take the boat out at that time. I'll make a video detailing the mount points, show what it looks like up. We put ours down every time to fit in the garage

I put this one on my 98 speedster. I don't know the the difference in dimensions for your particular model. Origin advancer wakeboard tower glossy black - Origin We had the chop off a good 40cm's ++ off the top beam in order to get the tower to fit. The instructions say it should fit based on...

those grooves on the impeller shaft look bad and does it look a bit bent ?? you will need a new impeller shaft they aren't very expensive. in my limited experiences water can get into the cone from the grub screw and also where it makes contact against the pump. i tried every sealant under the...

the shop manual covers all the different beeps and their causes. my 98 speedster had this problem so i unplugged from beeper underneath the steering console for a while. you are right that it will beep continuously if the computer detects the fuel being empty or the mechanism is broken...

fwiw the new pumps ran no problem once they got a bit of wear on them. spinning them on the vice now they fly. its the oil seal that is a bit tight on the new sbt pumps. very satisfying taking the boat out without any obvious problems for a change

thanks for the response as always, it is smooth but not as smooth as the OEM pump. refer to the video comparing the two below. perhaps wear on the the OEM pump/bearings/seal is why it spins so much better than the SBT. im just worried its going to blow up when the motor drives it if the oil...

Just received new SBT jet pump assembly for my seadoo 1998 speedster. I bought two figuring I'd replace both pumps. When I put the impeller.shaft through the pump it feeds nicely through 80% of the way but the unthreaded part of the shaft gets stuck on part of the oil seal as I try to get it...

so just updating because i can... the problem was largely to do with the impeller washer getting stuck in the groove of the impeller shaft off center before the cone could go back on to compress it all together with the spring/anti rattle... this problem is cautioned in the manual :< that...

Yes

This has been an ongoing issue for me for sometime and I've previously brought it up here and here. Summer is coming here in the southern hemisphere and im keen to get this right. Since my previous posts I've determined jet pump oil is leaking from between the cone and the housing (see...

hey my left side pump on the 98 speedster is leaking pump oil as evidenced by it pooling in the venturi after 2 visits to the lake. i cant see exactly where its leaking from but assuming it is coming from the cone given the location. this is the pump that replaced the original 2 months ago that...

Went second hand and got the pump delivered on friday. Put it all together with my old impeller and everything seems ok with firing the engine. IM a bit scared to water test it....It looks like pump oil could be leaking from one of the 3 screws that hold the nose cone to the pump. I think the...
