I have a 1995 720 XP and 1996 Seadoo 800xp on a Tandem Trailer, I am considering letting go to a good home. I have unfortunately come across some hard times and they have been left to sit for too long and need a good owner to spend a little TLC on them. Asking 2000 as is. 1996 XP ran great at...

Hi All, I have recently decided to sell my seadoos and buy a boat. If anyone is interested here is the craigslist add! Respond there as I am not on the forum very much. The Skis are running great and fire up every time thanks to all the wonderful information i have learned on this site...

Alright guys so I havin a problem with my XP. From idle to half throttle it runs great. Good throttle response. Then from half throttle to full sometimes it won't rev up. It kinda seems like it's hitting a rev limiter but other times it goes just fine. I can't figure it out. My high speeds are...

Hey guys, So I may be moving to San Jose in the next couple months here and I was trying to find some places to ride! Preferably fresh water. Any San Jose Riders on this forum? I have two 2 stroke XP's and I know lots of lakes in CA have banned them.

I haven't cleaned the race valves, I wasn't aware that was a possibility? What do clean them with? Also the high speeds are set to 0 turns out that's what the factory calls for.

Got the Skis on the water today!!! They both ran great! the 96 800 was running a little rich at first (kept having to wait for it catch up) turned the low speed needles in an 8th of a turn and it cleared right up! great throttle response and acceleration until the end! Towards the end it was...

I cannot get the steering cable to budge from the back of the hull. I got the nut and washer off with no problems at all. but I cannot get the rest it out at all. Am I skipping a step?

Alright... I started to tackle the VTS issues on both the Skis. The 95 is completely shot. The whole motor is corroded. The 96 was bone dry but kept blowing fuse's when I tried to use it. I found a huge tear in the boot and even though the inside of the VTS is completely dry something must have...

Update! I was rebuilding the carbs on the 96 and whoever had gone through them before stripped the shit out of the pilot jet. The new one came in from SBT and I got them back together and in the skis. Put some new fresh gas in them with some Marine Stabil. Got the new battery's charged up and...

Anyone know the part number for this guy? it's part of the choke assembly on the carb it was broken when I first got to the carb. I'm thinking about drilling a hole sticking a cotter pin in it and calling it a day

so i cracked open one of the carbs on the 95 and it has all brand new components and it looks like its never been run at all. Should i crack open the second or just bolt them back on and see if she'll fire up?

Alright so I started cleaning out the mold around the motor as best as i could without pulling the motor. That super clean is amazing. The spots of the hull that I could get to are like brand new. Anyways heres some photos. How do I take off the rivets in the footwell? do I have to drill them...

yea definitely going to pick up some super clean tomorrow. Will that help with the mold as well or should i stick to bleach or simple green.

yea I've seen a couple people talking about these threads I've yet to find them but im on the look out.

Hi guys I'm new to the forum and to the sea doo world. I just became the new owner of a 96 XP and a 95 XP. Both need a lot of TLC on the cosmetic side and hopefully im able to to get these motors back up and running. They were running before they sat in my grandfathers backyard for 5 years...
