Hey im new on here, I have a 1997 GTI and the fuel gauge doesnt work just wondering if anyone new of a quick fix or anything to check the wiring looks ok. And another question can you flush the 1997 GTI? or need to? where would you hook it up to water? I just bought this ski last week did not come with owners manual....
 
With the fuel gauge you porb need a float. it is inside the tank. mark and remove the 4 hoses on the top of the tank, then disconect the wire plug, then loosen the hose clamp and slide out the fuel baffle. You may need to remove the small stroage area under the handle bars. Then once it is out on the bottom is a palte it snaps off inside is the float. Check two things one does it float. Use gas to check most bad ones will float in water but not gas. Next plug the wires back up and put the float in the sending unit and move it up and down so the float moves up and down the tube. With the seado on see if the fuel gauge moves. If it does you need a float. If it does not they you may need to buy a sending unit. You can get a flaot on e-bay or at some dealers. Most will ty to sell you the whole sending unit but they make just the float. Also sreach seadoo fuel gauge on the forums there are several post about it. The hose goes in the back at the jet pump left side, if you are sitting on it. Look where the black nozzle is and there is a small pipe with threads there it is easiest to make a short hose to fit it and then put on a garden hose, but you can put the hose right to it. Hope his helps.:cheers:

I had both a blown fuse and fuel in the float. A quick test before you disassemble if you have an ohm meter. Unplug the connector going to the fuel baffle. Measure the resistance between the two wires going into the baffle. If it reads infinite you probably have a bad fuse. If it reads ~85ohms you have a bad float.

Good luck

Fuel Float

Hi,

I got my float from xxxxxxxxx.com they sell the float only. They also have a great pictorial on their site showing how to change the float, and why its bad. The float they sell is much improved over the original. It's not cheap but it works.

Idle Speed

Hi Jeremy,

I have a 96GTI the idle speed screw on my ski is on the linkage of the first carb. (the one toward the front of the ski). Turn the screw clockwise for faster idle, counter clockwise for slower.
