I have a 2001 Seadoo GTX RFI I bought it not running with a locked up starter. I replaced the starter and it cranked for a little while and would even start and run for a few seconds before dying. Now it doesn’t even crank all I get from it is a hum from the solenoid. I’ve tried swapping...

Hi. Summary: 12v low on display...won't start in water...started on trailer then backed into water...kind of ran, but not to standard max rpms. Compression is fine at ~145. Okay, so, checked fuses in rear electrical box. One 20amp was okay, the other 20amp was blown, the third fuse was fine...

I am looking for a shop that can help with my 2 stroke RFI in Austin, TX area. I have called all the places and none will touch it. Guess they don't have the expertise or just don't want to mess with the RFI skis. If it was carb'd there would be several options. Hoping someone can point me...

Hello All, I was helping a buddy rebuild the top end on his '99 GTX RFI (Rotax 787 Motor). One of his pistons blew apart and scoured the cylinder, so we ordered new cylinders, pistons, top end gaskets and seals, wrist pins, and wrist pin bearings. I had seen that the replacement ones he...

Hello everyone, New to the forum and I've been diagnosing some issues on my 2001 GTX RFI so I thought I would share. Bought the jet ski and it was running a little rough and fouling plugs so I cleaned the RAVE valves and it was running like a dream. Before taking it down to my house on the...

Hey guys new here just purchased my first jet ski 1999 seadoo gtx as a project I’m a big diy person, I picked this ski up a couple days ago for a great deal and the previous owner said it had some electrical issue but wasn’t sure and didn’t want to deal with it so what’s happening is no beep no...

Hello all, I've been reading and researching a ton so I thought I'd make a project thread and see if I can get some insight from all the geniuses on here. I know it's a bit of a novel, but I thought it better to roll it all into one post for continuity. I have a 2002 GTX RFI with ~130 hrs...

Hi everyone...I am having an issue with my gauge on my 2000 seadoo gsx rfi. Currently Ive been riding the ski with the gauge disconnected. When it is connected it displays "888" (like it's resetting or something) and everything is lit up on the gauge. It also stays lit up like that when the...

Got a 2003 Seadoo GTI LE RFI from a friends family who had purchased new ones. It had undetermined issues, but had been garage kept whole out of the water and is physically in great shape. Recently installed a reman engine from SES. Also replaced the starter and starter relay, coolant temp...

Hi Forum, Many many times i have read in this forum that around 200-250 hours on a 787 GTX-RFi you need to have the head rebuild and around 300hrs the cranckshaft. Now i was wondering is this interval based on experience or prescribed by the manufacturer? I can not see this in the shop...

My jetski was trailered on my driveway for the past two seasons. When I summerized it, it started right up with the hose connected and ran fine for a few minutes. When I took it to the lake, it powered off the trailer (normal thrust) but overheated after a few minutes. I flushed it again, and...

Hey everyone, First let me apologize. I DID try to use the search button, but as GTI and RFI are 3 letter terms it seems the search engine won't accept them and shows no results. So I'm at a loss on how to find threads about this PWC without scrolling through 500 pages. So again. I apologize...

So I pulled the engine from my 1998 GTX RFI to repair a cracked lower water channel. While it is out I rebuilt the starter and am going to clean the RAVE valves. What else should I service while it is out and easy to get at everything? I can't remember if read somewhere about cleaning the...

I'm looking for some input from Seadoo engine gurus to shed light on a failed engine. I recently purchased a 99 GSX RFI fixer upper pwc. I am not knew to PWCs but this is my first Sea-doo. I didn't water test prior to purchase due to a damaged impeller but engine started easily on the trailer...

I have a 98 GTX RFI that wont start. Had a new engine put in last summer. Ran fine for remainder of the year. Was stored for winter. Brought it out this year ran good the 1st couple of weekends out. This past weekend, wouldnt start. It cranks, and there is fresh gas in it. I replaced the...

I need to remove the starter motor from my 2004 GTI LE RFI It is the 110hp, fuel-injected, 787 RFI-engine, I think. I've tried to follow a procedure I found here, but it might not apply to my specific model. It mentioned removal of a black negative cable from the starter that I didn't have...

A fan of SeaDoo PWCs, I bought 3 new, still have 2. My 2004 GTI LE RFI was unbelievably fuel & oil efficient, a dream to own. Here is background for it's issues now: In 2012, the pump bearing failed. I removed the pump, bought a pump rebuild kit + wear ring, planned a spare time rebuild. Then...

I have a 787 RFI that will not start. It turns over fine but will not fire. It has good compression and spark. I verified timing with a timing light and compression is about 155psi. The plugs look very wet and the engine looks flooded. If it sits for a while it will fire and run for a few...

trying to track down a fault on my 3D RFI. only runs on 1 cylinder constantly. Connected candoo pro and when individually activating coils with plugs removed and earthed can only get 1 to spark. Tested resistance in wiring between coil and ECM and both test perfect (0 ohms), but only 1 will fire...
