Picked it up last week and it needs some serious TLC. Starting off trying to get the motors running well. They are newer SBT rebuilds with 10 hours or so on them. The motors run very eratic....the carbs were rebuilt with aftermarket carb kits and I believe the neddle and seats etc were not changed so we will rebuild them right and go from there.
The gas gauge was not working so I pulled the baffle and it looks like probably the old original float was in it. It would test ok while in the full location but once the flat slids downwards an inch or so it quit reading so maybe a new white float will fix that. My initial question is that the PO's have bypassed the fuel selectors and are just running a fuel line out of the RES nipple to a pump bulb, to a fram type filter, then a T to each motor. I am trying to decide whether it is worth it or not to rerig the fuel selectors and seadoo filters. Since the baffle only shows one return nipple I assume the additional motor carb return line should be hooked up to the vent nipple?
The PO's also disconnected the oil system probably because of the new engine recs plus they put a full size battery in it and the way they put it in probably hit the oil tank....... I probably want to hook it back up but all I have is one pump so I will be on the look out for a tank and another oil pump.
