Yes thats a newer Rotax . The price ranges with those for a re man, about 2500-3500 with a good core . The merc is impossible to buy a reman . Check out 4-Stroke Premium Engines: ShopSBT.com Some people love em, some hate em , I run two sbt engines and never had a issue and there great . What...

Personally I'd stay away from the merc. they're very expensive to rebuild probably $5000, Whereas a rotex you're looking at a 1000 to 1500

These guys say it can be ordered SE PUMP-FUEL

Maybe a fuel issue. Or carb issue. Did you use a Genuine kit ? Did change the needle and seat , jet ? If carb is OK check fuel filters. Ps. I'm no expert. Have twin 720s is my thing. Lol

I ordered my Genuine carb kits from the dealer

Where u located ? I have one that goes between the manifold and the tuned pipe 717/720

I kind of experienced the same problem with mine It was very hard to start almost like it was flooded Turned out to be the pop off pressure.. I would take a look at the carb and double check that pop off pressure to make sure it's within specification

I get 42mph solo with Bimini top up, 135psi both cylinders both engines 6800rpm. . Same boat. I am running premix and am waiting on new bigger jets. That should increase fuel delivery and hopefully rpms and maybe speed my a mph or two.

Interested

Yes, I had same issue. It's the pulse line for the fuel pump.. the ski you probably removed the engine from Likly had the fuel pump on the carb... jusy get a longer hose to run to your fuel pump.. That's what I did.

Ya I have read the same thing. I may try for bigger jets next time I rebuild the carb.. but so far no issues.

You can use the pump from your old engine.. if u need a pump I just removed mine and went premix . I'm in ajax

It’s in a 1998 seadoo sportster 1800 . No acc pump . One white engine, and one gray ..1998 carbs on both. the engine in question is who knows what year. But it’s white.... so go with the Manuel 38 psi +-12 ?

Hi all. Long time no talk. But that’s a good thing. Haha. Just rebuilding my carbs, I have a 1998 sportster twin 717’s single carbs . The pop off Pressure in the shop manual shows 38 (+-12) . But a few years ago I replaced one engine with a “white” 717 instead of the gray one that came in the...

Aww no. Rebuild time . 150psi is new , will run in the water as low as 118 iv seen.. hopefully you can figure out why it happened . You pre mixing or injected ?
