Hey Guys, New to posting but have been following posts on the forum for a while. I recently picked up a 97 GSX 787 project. The guy who had it before me had fuel issues and long story short he ended up picking up brand new carbs for it but never got around to putting them on. I went ahead and...

I am going on my second year of owning some pre-owned PWC's and at this point I have had nothing but problems. Right now the main problem keeping them out of the water is a 12 Volt low sign with my '96 GSX. I don't know if this is a rectifier or a battery. I wouldn't be surprised if I needed a...

Hi Can some one confirm what the Head Pipe Ass'y (274 000 161) is made from? I think it may be cast iron. A hole has developed in one of the plugs and I need to get it welded. Just want to know what it's made from before I start asking for prices. Thanks in advance. rhonus

Backstory: Bought the machine last spring, was working beautifully. Took it out on the water a couple of times. By the third outing, it was having trouble keeping an idle. By the 5th, it would unexpectedly roll back from full power to stalling mid run. I thought that it was a combination of...

I purchased 2 1996 Seadoo GSX's a few months back, one with a "jet issue" and the other with no motor but came with a replacement motor from SBT. After much blood sweat money and tears, here is the problems I am having. Ski 1: Fired it up after new battery, tested it on the lake. Ran fine...

Hi Guy's To cut a long story short. I sank my ski, cleaned it out with WD40 and got it running again. When testing it on water it ran for a while (not at full power) then conked out and wouldn't restart. I put it into a dealer to fix it and they blew the engine and washed their hands of it...

Hello everyone. I am writing this because of several reasons: So that my experiences will not be lost and maybe some out there, other than me, can learn from them. and besides that, I just need to ventilate and my girlfriend is sick of me talking about the Doo. In the spring of...

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...
