Everything after 97 or 98 should have the anti rattle kit in it the 951 155mm pumps all do...but that doesnt eliminate it completely.
It could also be that stupid metal clip that above the carbs. There is a cotter key that is supposed to be in there I think? to keep it from rattling...im not much of a 951 guy.

Mine has the anti-rattle kit installed. During the build, I put new bearings, seals, and a Sola's impeller in and the anti-rattle kit was intact. I don't doubt some of the rattle is pump related as it didn't rattle when I first fired it up (without the impellor shaft connected) however, it really sounds like midship port side. I did think about the cotter key as a possible source but haven't fired it up again to check. I don't mind a bit of a rattle here and there but my only concern is that when I was verifying the timing, I could see the rattle in the timing light. It wasn't huge, but when it idled down to 1400, it had a bit of a shake in the idle and the rattle was pronounced. I'm thinking it's just a tad low idle or something related to the fuel injection as I didn't get the injectors cleaned. It runs like a top and if I just barely crack the throttle the rattle disappears. Only happens at low idle. Will mess with it some more this weekend to see if I can narrow it down, but it's likely just not a perfect idle.
On a side note: I don't normally endorse or try to push products as I'm not a sales rep, but given this is a forum to help each other out I wanted to express my pleasure with a product I tried. I had some water spots on the DI when I got it, doubt it had ever been wiped down after use though I truly believe it's been garage stored and covered it's entire life. At any rate, after some reading on this forum and not wanting to spend any more money on this thing, I tried a 50/50 mix of vinegar and windex and it got rid of 95% of the water spots. The only bit remaining is very tough to see and just the outline, but no matter how hard I scrubbed, that last little bit just wouldn't come out. After getting the water spots pretty much taken care of, I followed another tip on this forum and bought some Teflon wax.
Now I'm here to tell you, if you didn't know this ski was 12 years old, you would swear it's new or only a year or two old! I used some Star Brite premium marine polish with PTEF and WOW! This thing looks amazing to say the least. I spent about 2 hours washing it down with vinegar and windex to get water spots off, but I only spent an hour giving it one coat of wax and the transformation is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend the Star Brite wax. Here's some after Pix. Don't mind the garage mess! My wife is an amazing women, but she's highly offended if any of my tools migrate into the house unless it's for her needs! and I absolutely must leave one bay open so she' doesn't have cold cheeks in the morning
So I'm crammed in on one side for now. However, that wax is damn good.

So I'm crammed in on one side for now. However, that wax is damn good. Got a little inspired after the wax job and thought the padding could use a little cleaning... (maybe it was the cap't morgans, but I'll never fess!) At any rate, hit it with some cleaner and a toothbrush and wahbam! beautiful. Not too bad if I do say so. Got my son drooling a bit now as I bought him a 96xp a couple weeks ago. It should shine up nicely if he decides to get off the xbox and put some elbow grease into it... time will tell.

Looks outstanding. I had/have the white/blue color scheme. I noticed that your BRP emblem in the
center of the hood is missing.
That is so weird. I bought 2002 2 DI's and the 4 stroke and on ALL of them the emblem was missing..so unless
the kids grab these like the old Mercedes emblem...
whatever glue BRP used that year just wasn't enough!! :facepalm:

whatever glue BRP used that year just wasn't enough!! :facepalm:Didn't get a chance to mess around with it too much as the weather is like -10 so decided to winterize (garage is 50 so not worried about freezing, but may need to pull it out sometime this winter...) So start it up, spray fogging oil into the nipple and about 5 seconds later I get maintenance light and red light. I figured it had something to do with the fogging oil, so continued fogging for another 15-20 seconds and shut it down. Hooked up Candoo and was surprised to see a low volt and low low volt. Meter said battery was 12.3v but Candoo said 8.77 volts. Wasn't expecting to see that.
Did some reading in the manual and searching online and likely culprit pointed to Rectifier. Pulled the cover and tested the fuses, all good so figured I better test the stator anyways as the rectifier doesn't have a static test, so I unplugged the black/red plug from the rectifier and what do you know, Candoo now says 12.3v. Stator tested ok so I plugged the rectifier back in expecting the low volts to show up again, and it didn't.... now magically it's all healed so either a bad connection or a rectifier on its way out. Didn't test charging volts as I didn't have access to cooling water but probably should have a spare rectifier on hand or keep a very close eye on it.

Yup you are right on the money...the RFIs were notorious for burning them, the DIs not far behind.
