    98 GTI 720 Manifold Issue

    Stud broke on the Seadoo GTI 720's exhaust manifold - is this a screw in or press in? Trying to figure out how to extract and replace.

    98 GTS Fuel Vent/Check Valves (2) Operation

    Yes, the GTS wasn't getting fuel to the carb after reinstall after rebuild so bypassed the fuel selector, and blew into the return line and then the gas was flowing finally out the feed line to the carb. It starts now and will be taking it out on the lake later in the week to see how it runs...

    98 GTS Fuel Vent/Check Valves (2) Operation

    Looked for info but what I found wasn't clear in its explanation, so question is : on the GTS the fuel vent line has one line that has a "T" on it, with one line going to side hull under the rub rail (very hard to blow air out or suck air in) and the other line off the "T" going up to a valve...

    96 SPI Turns Over But Won't Start Mystery

    Cranked without the plugs a few times, choke on, throttle held on full, and she ran a second. Then tried again with choke off and she fired and ran. Started and ran multiple times, woo hoo! Thanks all for your help.

    96 SPI Turns Over But Won't Start Mystery

    When you pull the rotary cover, can you re-use the gasket? Also heard that when you pull the cover to make sure something doesn't come off with it (rotary valve?) so you don't have to redo timing?

    96 SPI Turns Over But Won't Start Mystery

    Yes on the rotary valve. Looked up the brass gear, will try to borrow a inspection cam as I saw you can put it down the carb throat and check if the valve is turning, which in turn means a good brass gear apparently? Any other way to check if the brass gear is sheared?

    96 SPI Turns Over But Won't Start Mystery

    Worked on the SPI tonight, compression tested again and both cylinders are 140psi. Spark plugs are wet so gas is getting to the engine. Quarter tank of no ethanol fuel. Both spark plugs have correct gap and strong spark and battery was fully charged. It will turn over all day but not fire even...

    96 SPI Turns Over But Won't Start Mystery

    First start attempt for this year, has run fine the last 4 years except for the odd hot start issue a couple of times after running all day last year. Plugs are wet so has fuel, has compression, has spark. Tried to start and turned over but wouldn't fire up. Switched to Reserve and fired up for...

    Carb Check Valve Rubber Gromets

    Thanks guys, told my buddy and he's ripping his carb out and redoing with the old grommets. I'm rebuilding my carb as well and just finished doing this, very frustrating - tried to work it in with vaseline and using a small screwdriver to pull the edges up on the other side but didn't work...

    Carb Check Valve Rubber Gromets

    Just helped a buddy rebuild his carbs and when he went to do the check valves he went thru the rubber grommets with the small allen driver. It starts and he is water testing it on the weekend but what will the effect be on performance with small holes thru the little rubber grommets?

    My 1996 SPI Resto

    End of season update on the SPI, last ride was mid September and it was a nice warm evening of dooing, had a bonfire on the beach to close off the season as well. Refresh on the backstory of this Seadoo : bought from the previous owner in 2018 after he had partially sunk it 3 times the previous...

    '95 SPI (587) carb removal

    Not kidding, its tight but I just use a smaller open ended wrench. On the side with the linkage that's in the way its more difficult but having the wrench on a downward angle gives me enough room to remove. I have read where some use a slightly bent open ended wrench on the linkage side but I...
