Yes the 951is a twin coil, I’m not so sure about it not being a wasted spark though…I’ve never tried to to see, but it only has one pick up coil and the flywheel only has two protrusions so how would it know whether it was on cylinder 1 or 2 to fire. The only point I was trying to make was if...

Ok, then it’s likely working, you want to have some play in the arm for the accelerator pump or it could leak fuel through the circuit. If you haven’t checked your pop off pressures you definitely need to do that, not having them set right is basically the same as not setting the float height on...

Is you accelerator pump actually working?? It helps the transition between low and high rpm, when you open the throttle you should see fuel squirting down into the throttle body If you pop off pressures aren’t right it won’t run properly

Yes you can do that, anything with a nylon lock nut doesn’t need it but nylon lock nuts are supposed to be replaced and not reused so if your reusing them loctite would be a good idea

You can get it to turn over but it won’t turn over??

I don’t have any access to technical documents right now, if I remember in the next day or two I’ll take a look.but an RFI runs at a high idle until the water temp sensor heats up and then it drops because it runs on one cylinder at an idle, I can’t remember what years but early rfis run on the...

It won’t have anything to do with your stator or trigger coil or regulator, your engine fires both cylinders at the same time because there is only one trigger coil, so if you have spark on both cylinders it should run on both, if not you likely have a issue in the carb of the cylinder that...

oh I see, all the more reason to use sealant on everything, the sealant will help dampen any vibrations in the intake grate. just use a dab of loctite on the bolts going into the pump support for the intake grate.

See the pic for the bottle Jack placement Sorry I was thinking you were taking it apart because it was leaking, anyways same process for what your doing, once you get the ride shoe off your going to try to separate the pump support from the hull, again cut whatever sealant you can with a long...

Yes, I would seal up any edges or seams with sealant I would use a small bottle Jack set on the top side of the ride plate and use a piece of wood to Press against the fiberglass on the top side and put a bit of pressure on the ride plate, apply enough pressure to start stretching the sealant...

Well, unplugging a sensor should bring up a fault, it might change your overheat message your seeing….I’m not used to diagnosing it that way because I would just hook the computer up and read the fault

Usually there is a part number on the impeller that should verify that

Yes if your going in there anyways, there are two parts to the boot, 271000516 rubber boot and 271000517 outer ring, both are about $9 cdn And both are still available

There is a rubber boot that goes on the front side of the impeller that the driveshaft goes through, with it missing it isn’t going to make a difference to your cavitation issue but it may create some ventilation in the jet stream, over time it may erode the impeller and your Venturi if it’s an...

The 950 carbs don’t have an exhaust temp sensor. The only way to know which one is causing the fault is to hook it up to a computer or test the sensor and circuit and see which one is out of range.
