I purchased a ski from him and had to jump through hoops to get it. He's a fraud but thankfully my ski wasn't reported stolen. It didn't have a charging system though. Like Dan Squires said above, I now only deal with group members on our page. PM me if you want anything else.

I received the new exhaust coupler and exhaust hose from WB and buttoned it all back up. I also removed the old gray line to the WCV. I can blow through all of the hoses without impediment and have left the hose running to the tuned pipe off. I am going to drop her ass in the water tonight to...

So a new valve may be in order? I am going to try and get by with this for a month before putting her to bed for the season.

So if that is the case, a little teflon tape and screwed in tight should do the trick? I don't mind inspecting it after every ride. How do threads come lose on their own?

I hear ya, totally forgot about that, thanks! What I am more concerned with is why the previous owner thought he needed to add a silicone type sealant around the threaded part that joins the water valve and the water box. I am going to see if I can test it on trailer with it running prior to...

Will do. I honestly think there is something up with my wcv as there is silicone around the spot where it threads in from the previous owner. May have to buy a new water box but not there yet.

racerxxx I added the new supply hose in place of the old gray one and blew through it. Since I already melted the exhaust coupler and am waiting for the new one, I was able to feel my breath as I blew into the regulator come out of the water box....so that's good. I then disconnected the hose...

Ok kept the 97 colors and fashioned the new clamp from a pink zip tie. No holes in diaphram. Reset red cap to 3 complete turns out as per Dr. Honda. Went to the parts store for new hose and wifey dropped my t adapter........lost it. New one on order :(. I was thinking of hooking up to...

Ok will do all that, so thank you again. What about the red cap.on the valve cover? Leave it all the way in? Also is there anything I can use for the coupler between pipe and water box without having to order it online? Also, is there a way to.test the regulator once all put back together?

Here is what I saw. No visible hole but the screw at the bottom of the valve was tight and the red cap thing was all the way down. The gray fuel line was partially twisted but not collapsed.

Thanks a ton!

Ok so I couldn't wait till tomorrow. The water regulator injects water before the little rubber coupler? I can't see how. Also, I can't reuse the clip on there right now? I fail to see how cable ties would hold it down again. I've attached a pic of the regulator. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll have a look in the morning.

So besides having a hole in that small section of hose, I've also removed the larger hose from the water box on my 1997 SPX to the thru hull due to it being really soft. Someone said the hole in the small section of hose is due to too much heat. Could this be true? How is exhaust cooled prior...

And I am now the proud owner of a '97 SPX.
