Long story short, I have a lead on a free 2002 RX DI Seadoo. He said the engine seized a few years back, pulled the engine and was going to have it replaced but never got around to it. Still has all the parts.
So...I did some reading and I know these machines are very expensive for parts and difficult to find the issues. That said, I think it would be a fun project that I can take my time on over the next year or so, maybe have it ready for next season and have a reliable machine.
I won’t be picking it up for a month or so, in the meantime I want to make a list of stuff I should fix, replace etc. If anybody has any recommendations, please post them up! I’d like to replace or test anything that typically causes issues with these. Thanks in advance!
List so far(yes I know there will be way more):
1. Ship engine out to SES
2. Test fuel pump, replace if necessary
3. Rebuild air compressor
4. Possibly replace fuel pressure regulator
OR: Is it worth swapping to a carbed 951 engine since the engine is blown either way?
