restoration

I’ve been messing around with this 95 XP, it seemed like there was a strong fuel smell when I took the seat off. It has clear fuel lines held on with zip ties. I bought a back to OEM carb rebuild kit from OSD marine thinking that the seats where leaking causing the fuel smell? I took the carbs...

I'm making this thread to keep track of my progress so I know how to put things back together. I have never owned or worked on a Sea-Doo or a 2 stroke. I currently have 2 1997 GTI Sea-Doos. I bought the first one in Key Largo (further known as KLDoo) for $350. Here are the issues it has: The...

Does anyone have or know of a source for 'fresh off the assembly line' pics of a Seadoo LRV? I am specifically interested in images showing the original routing of the Vent Hoses (part #s 291001473, 291001441 and 204070575). I have checked the parts diagrams and service guides and it is not...

After purchasing my Challenger in March and not being able to enjoy it due to purely cosmetic issues I'm happy to say it's done enough for this summer anyway. Still many little nitpicky things I want to do but it's headed to the lake this weekend for some fun. This is after a full color change...

Bought 2 PWC for cheap, not running as they had been sitting for 12 years. I have since rebuilt the carbs, ran new fuel lines, changed spark plugs, re-covered seats, and cleaned em. That's it. They both run pretty damn good, wish I had seen the carb rebuild sticky here before hand but things...

Happy New Year everyone. Quick question... I'm looking at buying a set of mats for my speedster. I noticed the engine cover is different on the 1996 Speedster vs the 1997 Speedster and the mats are different. The 1997 mats do not have the large pieces that cover the sides of the cover like the...

Hey! Just joined the forum today as I prepare to start working on an old Seadoo that I just acquired. I ended up paying a grand for both a 96 Seadoo XP800 and a 93 Seadoo SP with a double trailer (both skis run alright so I feel relatively confident in the fact that I made a good deal)...

Hey Everyone! So, I do kind of have a habit of getting into something new and REALLY getting into it. So, I guess it is Sea Doos now. I live in Kansas City and my late Grandfather had a cabin down at the lake of the Ozarks about 2.5 hours away. Last summer we noticed an old Sea Doo across...

I have just recently picked up a 93 XP and a 95 HX that I'm planning to restore (pictures below). I'm stripping all the decals to recondition the gel coat and will be needing decals to put back on them. I've searched all over for some decals, specifically "XP" and "HX" decals, but I'm having a...
