1997 GTX Rave Valve update kit

[cloudmaster_321]

I had my 97 GTX out this past weekend. Did it's typical 6,600RPM at the start of the day. By the end of the day, it was down to 6,200. I thought the worse, ended up checking compressions, looking at plugs. No issues. Went to the raves, and found one was not actuating due to the plastic top part had unscrewed from the valve, almost all the way. It made it so the valve stayed closed.

I'm reading there was an updated kit for this machine at some point. Changed the red bellows to green, so on. Anyone have reference to this SB or the kit part number? Wondering if the kit is available any longer. I'm wondering how long this valve was unscrewing, may have been my issue for a long time. Appears to be original bellows yet.

THere is no update kit.

For ones that get stuck at 4,500 rpm the slotted rave valves that are an update help but you are not having that issue.

The bellows just changed suppliers from red to green.

Just fix what is broken.

If you have melted the threads out of the plastic caps it is typically because the o-rings have gotten hard and old and are not sealing.

Seadoo SB 97-20. Outlines the new valve, and the housing. I'm going to change over to those if i can get the parts.
