1996

My post is going bad in my 787 1996 XP. I have a post from a 1998 GTX and a 2000 GTX Millenium Edition. Will either or both of these work? Thank yall! :D

Hey guys, sorta new here. I've been browsing without an account for a while now, and I'm finally giving in to asking for some help. Prepare for a short saga. 10 (?) years ago, a relative was purchasing new SeaDoos, and didn't want anything to do with his old 96 GTS. Since he tends to have a...

Just purchased 2 seadoos and trailer, a 1996 Gtx and a 1996 Gts....only had them 2 months, have not put them in the water yet! Any tips on getting the top of these skiis to shine again? The white is dull and has mild fallout.....what does anyone suggest to use for washing and getting the shine...

Alright guys so to be blatantly honest... I'm sitting in my dorm trying to burn time until i can go home (tomorrow) and start dewinterizing my ski (and maybe go out for a quick test run). So I figured I would make a tread on my entire rebuild of my 336 Hour 1996 Used and abused GTX. Day One...

So a deal fell through that I was looking foward too. I am in the market to buy. I am looking for sometihng nice with a spotter seat, preferably one engine but could possible deal with two. I am looking to spend around $3000. I am located in Green Bay, WI. Please feel free to reply if you have...

I know theres probably a thousand threads about this , but what does everyone think about SBT's standard engine quality? I spoke with a local powersports shop that works mostly on Doos and Kawi's and he said he only offers SBT as a cheap alternative to him rebuilding it himself. He said that he...

I bought two brand new 40mm carburetors for a 1996 sea doo gsx. The carburetors fit on the jet ski perfectly however there is an extra assembly on the left side of the pto side that looks like some type of fuel pump. There are also two small injectors that look like they are for the choke...

First off, THANK YOU, to everyone on this forum. The information that I have gained has been priceless! I do however have a quick question, 96 GSX, bought early summer, changed fuel lines, clean carbs and filters, new batt, new plugs. Started and ran great on trailer, took to the lake and...

Hey! I'm new to the SeaDoo Forum and am currently doing some cosmetic touch-ups. I have a 1996 SeaDoo XP. I've already taken the pink decals off because I thought that they were kind of ugly. Also, I have taken the handlebar cover off and I've painted the handlebars black. I put a bar across...

i want to get rid of the nasty yellow pad and i dont know if it has a bar across that i could put a renthal bar cover over, i think it would look much cooler.

hello, i have a 1996 seadoo gtx and i have been working on it for a while to get it running. i put it in the water the other day, and it will accelerate fine up until about 25 mph and it will then just bog down to idle speed. i already did a rectifier test, and the rectifier is still working...

Hello, Wondering if I could get some help on an issue I am having with my ski. I operate in brackish water and the starter nose/bendix assembly are evidently getting wet while the ski is being ridden. Once the ski sits for a day or so, the starter will spin, but the bendix will not move...

I have a 96 Seadoo XP that starts and idles properly (slightly on the high side), but as soon as you press the throttle it misses heavily, coughs out some white smoke, and then eventually dies. When it dies, it is very abrupt. There's not time to let off throttle or pull the choke to try and...

Hi guys i'm new to this forum. I just picked up today a 96 Seadoo 650 XP for unbelievably cheap. The problem is, is that there is no motor or jet. I'm thinking about building up a motor and taking away the oil tank and straight mixing the gas with the oil so I know that it is getting the oil...

What's up everyone? Just joined this forum today. Not really too familiar with Sea-Doo boats so if this thread is posted in the wrong section I apologize in advance. I was thinking of picking up a 1996 Sea-Doo Speedster as a project boat. The boat has 170hp and is a twin engine jet boat. The...

UPDATE: Ski has been rebuilt by a Pro. Everything is in 100% Like new working condition. It is a NEW Ski!!!! All said and done $4000 into it. 11/2012

At first I thought WOW this thing is going to be great, its FAST on my first run off the trailer to the beach. Then I let me wife take it for a spin, it seemed to run fine, until she came back at only 4000 rpms and barely moving, lots of smoke too. If I left it sit for an hour or two it would...

Hi Guys, I'm going insane. I have a 1996 Seadoo Challenger with Rotax 787 dual carb. After pulling it out from winter I've found that when starting it up the boat was stuck at WOT. After pulling apart the throttle assembly, found nothing wrong with the cable. I've since decided...

Has anyone built their own ski pylon? I am wanting to drill a hole and put it on the side of the engine cover latch in the hull. Specifically I want to see the brackets you made for the tube and how you mounted them. I want to make a tube within a tube so I can lower it when not in use. What...
