Agreed, anything is fixable. Is it worth fixing? No would be the answer. Unless you possess the skills yourself and since you posted that picture I’m assuming you don’t.

I used SES two years ago and had good luck and reasonable turn around time. Everyone on this forum has something bad to say about every rebuilder out there. Often with good reason. My personal experience with SES is I would recommend them. SBT is the largest rebuilder so they should be fast and...

Westside is a very reliable source for parts. It would be used but they generally check things out to try to be sure it’s a good unit.

So is the starter turning the engine over? Have you checked compression?

Thanks for the input. Think I’ll wait for a clean carb model GTX to pop up.

What’s the downside of the RFI? I’ve only had carbureted Sea Doos. I’m looking at a pretty clean 98 GTX RFI. I’m a automotive mechanic so I’m not afraid to work on stuff but I do enjoy the simplicity of the old carb models. Just don’t want to jump into a constant headache.

I had this exact problem with Full Bore pre Covid. 8 months to get my cylinders back. Very frustrating. I sent an engine to SES and had it back when promised. And that was during Covid.

Thanks for the input guys. I was going through my parts and found I have a pump from a 657x. It looks the same as the 720 but does anyone know if it is?

Tom did my 717 last year. 7 week turnaround and it was still summertime so I thought that wasn’t too bad. So far it runs perfect. I would use him again.

Sorry this might be long. Two summers ago my 96 gti had a dying issue I thought it was electrical and chased the wrong way. Finally the pto cylinder seized. So I figured it was a lean condition. So I pulled the cylinders sent the top end to Full Bore including pistons and plugs. 10 months later...

Probably not. 720 is a pretty basic engine. No compression is almost always a bad hole.

So I’ve had 3 Sea-Doo’s that used that exact gauge and all three had a fuel saturated float. I was able to test the system by running the float up and down the tube with the sending unit out of the tank but plugged in.

Warm weather we have plenty of here in Nor Cal what we are short on is water. Second week of April and lake levels are lower than I’ve ever seen for this time of year. This is going to be a long hot dry summer on the west coast.

It’s just a basic shaded bar system with black vertical bars going from left to right. I think it’s just a LCD.

OSD Sea-Doo has what they call back to oem kits that come complete all genuine Mikuni parts.
