They not that heavy
Require two people or one with a block and tackle
Two old spark plugs, break off insulation on top half weld two washers
Piece of chain and a pole , lift up and put a block of wood across the body to rest engine on
But there’s many ways to skin a cat
I do 99% of ski and boat work on my own

That's my plan. If I did this, what do you think the time would be to actually pull the engine out? Approximately? I only have small windows of decent weather and want to jump on it if I have enough time

For a novice to pull the engine shouldn’t take you longer than four hours taking it slow
You have a shop manual

That's not too bad. Thank you
I'm looking at this:
1 Ton Capacity Foldable Shop Crane
If I pull the engine in my driveway, can I roll this into my garage. Maybe 15 feet

Once it’s out and of the mount plate it’s a hand carry
Although I lift 4tecs of my work bench onto the floor but I hate doing that

pretty sure rebuilding it yourself would be cheaper, but if you wanted to send your core to sbt which is what a handful of people seem to do, it would be around 800 w/o shipping? with 1 year warranty
Yeah, that's exactly what he said to do.
But, he offered me 2 2002 seadoo gtx 951 di's yay actually run for $3k. So I'm wondering if I should sell these (the other one works great) and move ahead with these new ones instead of putting more money into these carb machines

I'd stick with ones you have, once you put the motor in your ski you're pretty much set for it to last another 20ish years.

951 DI doesn’t have carbs and relies on fuel
Pump pressure and clean injectors

So, you're saying I'd be changing one problem for another?

good decision, instead of inheriting potential problems from someone else, you know what you have, and once you dial it all in, your set.
I just read this whole thread. Your accelerator pump is not working. Pull the carbs and fix the problem.

You can here by the way the engine is turning over that there is no compression in one cylinder.

I pulled the carbs and put in a new Accelerator pump, then the engine lost compression in one cylinder. Right before though, it ran fine. It was very reactive, so I think the accelerator pump issue is fixed.
