1996

Good afternoon all, I recently purchased a 1996 Seadoo XP. At the point of sale, it fired up immediately and beeped twice as normal. Seller mentioned it had not beeped once for him just recently, but it went away and suspected it was a DESS issue. Before taking it to the lake, I had swapped...

TL/DR: Two head bolts broke while removing. I can’t get them out (even with threading the top and using nuts) What would you recommend doing. About a year ago I starting fixing this 96 xp (787). I did everything I needed to get it running (new plugs, rebuilt carbs, replaced fuel lines, etc)...

Ive been working on my 1996 seadoo sp trying to get it ready for the summer and I rebuilt the top end(has 145 psi on both cylinders) and changed all fuel lines and rebuilt my carb which I pressure tested and it meets specs, I’ve also got new gas in it aswell and it starts up but dies shortly...

A little backstory first. Earlier in the year I took the jetski out and near the end of the day could feel what I thought was jet pump cavitation. I would rev the ski and it would have problems reaching mid speeds and higher. I could hit max rpms, but the ski would just hit maybe half speed, as...

I just bought a '96 Challenger (mint condition!), it runs great but the speedometer and gas gauge don't work. This first thing I'm going to do today is the check the fuses. But if those are OK, what would be the next steps? BTW, The paddle wheel for the speedo is intact and turns freely. Thanks...

Hey guys I have a 1996 speedster . Couple years ago put 2 new motors in it. Now I have lost the original mpem in it. It keeps blowing the 5 amp fuse. I’m looking into getting the new retro fit kit from seadoosource.com. I have talked to the guy a couple times about doing it but just curious if...

Hi everyone, I have been reading forums here for weeks now trying to figure out this 1996 Seadoo but I’m a little lost where to go from here. It was given to me, it sat for several years outside not used & exposed to the elements but the inside is pretty clean - no mouse nests, water sitting...

No spark on both plugs, both engines. I replaced the two small pwc batteries with a larger single battery, which required taking the exhaust off. upon doing this I saw the starter was bad, so ordered and replaced it. Yesterday I put the exhaust back on and plugged in the hose to try running it...

Hello. New to the forum and trying to get my 96 XP on the water. Symptoms-Starts and idles fine out of the water. Revs out of the water. Hard to start in the water. Does not rev in the water. Sometimes hear burst of air coming from the carbs when running. Here are the things that I have...

I recently rebuilt both of my carbs for a 96 GTI with the OSDMarine kit that specifies no need to set popoff pressure (return to OEM kit i believe). At the time I rebuilt my carbs I thoroughly went through and cleaned everything. Yesterday, I started the engine fine by pouring a splash of gas...

Have a 1996 GTI I've rebuilt alot on. I've replaced the buzzer and start switch with high quality options from osdparts.com. I also replaced the info gauge from a reseller on ebay. All the multifunctions of the gauge work. I rebuilt the fuel baffle so gas level would show properly. Temperature...

Hey all, are there any work-arounds to replacing the entire MPEM? Which component(s) generally blow? And can I order them? My little sister thought it was ok to jump/charge the boat battery while the car was running. Just trying not to spend $500 on the entire thing. Thanks!

Hey everybody, I got a 1996 GTI at the beginning of the summer and it ran great all summer and then I went to take it out during Memorial Day weekend and it does not beep when I put the key on the post and doesn’t even crank over or even click. Battery is fairly new I got it less than 2 months...

I just bought a 1996 GTX and it is missing the front nose bumper. The part was 921000223 but it has been discontinued and I’m having trouble locating one. Is there another nose bumper I could put on instead that would be a good fit?

Hello, I was just given a 96 GSX with a seized motor and a rear electrical box full of water. I freed the motor and checked compression (shockingly it had 162 165), replaced the starter solenoid as the post was corroded, the two smaller ring terminals that go the the battery cable post, and the...

I feel dumb but I can't figure out where this connector is supposed to run to on my '96 Challenger. I don't see anywhere that it could potentially plug in under the steering wheel compartment with all of the lights, bilge, blower, and ignition switches. Any ideas would be appreciated!

I read many forum's but once people fix their issues they don't follow up on it worked out or any details on any other issues they worked out. So I am sharing my experience . My issue when I bought a used 1996 sea-doo GTI 717 5865 . I own a lakehouse so I have a advantage of trial and error...

INTERESTED BUYERS ONLY. Title in hand. This is quite possibly the cleanest 1996 Sea-Doo GTX in the country. 2-owner, highly maintained, 112 hours. All original. Runs excellent, EVERYTHING works. Problematic grey fuel lines have been replaced. Carburetors just cleaned, RAVE exhaust power...

Last time out on the water, when I would turn off the engine, intermittently upon putting the key back on the high temp LED would flash a few times, then whole info dash would turn off... take out key and try again, eventually it would just work as normal. Now it seems to be indefinite. Will not...
