96 Seadoo XP Carb rebuikd kit

[b250r]

Yes I was wondering what size carbs are on the 96 Seadoo XP? I would like to rebuild both carbs and the fuel pump. Does anyone know where I could go on the internet for the rebuild kit for the carbs on the 96 XP.

since you have an 800 motor... your engine should have a pair of SBN40 carbs. The rebuild kit is the same as the SBN38.

BUT... let me say this. There has been issues with the aftermarket kits lately. Save yourself a headache later, and buy OEM Mikuni rebuild kits. They cost a few $$$ more, but they are worth it in the long run.

Dr Honda, thanks so much for the reply. I will get the kits ordered for the SBN38. Two years ago I went through the carbs, cleaned the jets and the filter screen, but I didn't replace anything. It helped but this year the XP800 is not a happy camper. I have been reading up on the pop off pressure and I checked both carbs. One carb goes to around 15 PSI and pops off. The other carb will not hold any pressure. For a needle valve of 1.5 pop off pressure should be around 36PSI - 40PSI at least that is what the book says. The fuel pump seems to be ok, I'm debating on rebuilding the fuel pump. Thanks Brian
