She will go over 60mph on flat water, full tank of high octane gas, just don't hit 60 and make a sharp turn... Call me after and let me know the good/bad and hopefully not the ugly, but if so I blame the garden hose...LOL, we won't be riding it hard probably, we'll leave some for you @Tbishop. Don't overlook your offers, BTW.
Just a newb here, but if you "flushed" it without it running, through the rear hose connection, it probably back filled the engine with water. I'm pretty sure that's a possiblity.There's a few videos on line about it.
I'm doing the top end on a 947 that was 110psi per cylinder. Did I labor in vain?
My problem is this, I find a certified Sea Doo shop/dealer, they tell me there is water in engine and it will be around $4000 to get it running again, might want too well it for $300 to someone they know for parts? Thank God Jim is decent/nice enough to say let me take a look, gets it running (I am going to take care of him). I looked at comp new one, with new trailer and I am looking around 20K???
So let me get this straight, I pimped out my girl, you rode her hard/broke her in and used oil/lube on her...I'm telling you, come get your ski @Tbishop, please! I've had my fun with your girl.
Update:
Turns out the water event occurred just before taking it to the shop.
Question. With 110PSI per cylinder... how healthy is the engine ??
For me compression is one of the easier things to address. I like it where it needs to be.
Guys -
This is an awesome thread, and i have a similar situation
Someone nearby me is selling this exact same Ski "needs a motor" for $1k
I offered $600. Hull looks like its in good shape.
What would a new engine cost me with installation??
