    1996 GTX No Beep

    Beeper may be done. If you have a Radio Shack still in business they have them. You have to solder the leads on. Good luck having an employee knowing which drawer they are in.

    XP 717 problems

    You have to remember that the systems are all tuned to work together. The air box regulates the air flow,the carb jets, the fuel flow. So one changes, the other needs adjusted too. Does it have the factory air box? That can be a problem too. The carb needs cleaned well and new parts and seals...

    XP 717 problems

    DO NOT RUN THAT SKI ! The fuel brings oil to the engine. When you run lean, it is not getting enough OIL to the working parts. Use the search function to read about fuel problems and tests you need to do. Off hand I would say you need to do pressure test on fuel system. Read about carbs and the...

    1997 Seadoo GSI Dies when throttle is applied

    It needs cleaned real well. Then all the wear parts replaced. OSD.com has full rebuild kits for carbs. Read my post again. Been there did it. Ask questions and read what I have told you. Most times you can do it.

    A Seadoo Repair Story

    Well it is a 25 year old machine. I have had a few "Sea Doo Mechanic's" tell me they replace all kinds of parts to get a ski to run right. Most will not touch one older the an 2008 now. At least now he knows some of the main parts are new. Hopefully it will still live a long life.

    1997 Seadoo GSI Dies when throttle is applied

    Your carb needs a total clean and rebuild. You figure it's 20 years old. May have never been done. You cleaned green gunk out. It is most probably past the thimble filter. Take it to the launch ramp. Back down so your intake grate for pump is under water. Make sure it's tied down well to...

    Try these: Trim 1/8 inch off the boot end of spark plug wires and reinstall boots, Open gas cap when it acts up (vent is bad), pull choke out a little ( improves, it's lean, it dies it's rich) I caution, running lean,fuel carries life giving oil. Do Not Run out of water long. Your carbon seal on...

    No Beeps No Guages

    If you have the 15 amp fuse in the holder in the rear E-Box look at the whole assembly close. If the box has ever been full of water it may be corroded. Might consider doing the check out procedure on the stator. Power runs through it on some ski's. If you don't have one. Repair manuals are...

    You have to figure the accelerator diaphragms are how old? You did replace the little rectangular low speed check valves opposite the pump section? Replaced the carb base gaskets?

    RESTO It arrrived!! My 1995 XP800 restoration project!

    AutoZone and Advance parts stores may still carry the Aircraft Paint Popper in a spray can. It will make the paint pop off down to the base primer layer. Try a small area first. If it is rattle can paint, lacquer thinner will take it right off. Not a soaking rag, just moist and do it fast. Once...
