717

I have a 96 SeaDoo GTI and I pulled it out of the garage to take it out this year and it doesn't want to turn over when the spark plugs are in it, but it turned over freely with them out. Ok so check the compression, 160psi and 150psi. Replace the starter, same thing. Try and jump the...

Hello All, I have a 2002 GTI LE into which I'm swapping a new SBT 717, but I'm a bit worried about the rotary valve cover. It isn't gouged or grooved anywhere, and the surface seems relatively smooth, but it seems to be wearing unevenly. Looking at the outside edge, the surface appears worn...

I was having starting problems with my 97 Gti. I haven't worked on 2 strokes much and was having a hard time figuring is out. Would run good the first run but after shutting it down, would always have a hard time getting it to start again. Would always eventually fire up and then run good but...

I bought a 97 Speedster last summer. Long story short, Starboard side motor runs great, Port side motor misfires back into the carb. Carbs were professionally cleaned, new fuel, plugs, etc, I even switched the carb and ignition coil from the Starboard side to the Port side and it still...
