u gotta take a few pics of these 6 seadoos, pretty soon you'll be looking like a dealer
All you need is 3 more for each day of the week...thought I had alot of ski's wow..
I can match that ski count but it's another good deal that I'm hungry for. Spim- your on fire!! The best deal on cl up here is my 95XP on a single for $1100. I've got to throw some feelers out to try and shake one of these old racer's part stash loose.
the garage is full, here's 4 of them

Check out mikidymac answer on reason OP stalling out after few mins of running on last page.
Is it similar problem?
ocod, I think you were referring to me right? the on land part sounds like me, and that nasty black stuff did spew out, and I did have the needles out, no idea if they are leaking at all, and it had a hard time starting at first after the carb rebuild, and I prob did have it flooded, but once I clamped the line off, it started and now it starts great, just wont run in water, nor stay running without giving it a tiny gas
Yup,
It was for you.
If it starts religiously but have throttle issues its the carbs.
You'll have to take them apart and check how it is now.
I know when I started I confused the HS (zero turns out) and LS(1 turn out) settings and it would idle but no throttle response or died.
Check HS and LS jets / FF / check valve in pump body.
I just wanted to post a special Thanks to member FLKustom for a hot tip on an add on CL. Owner had it advertised as a 1991 seadoo with no model, turned out to be a 1998 GTXL in pretty dam good shape and I got a real fair price on it. After some hassles with a flat trailer tire in the owners driveway, i picked up a $35 tire this morning and over lunch, swapped it out and its now in my garage !
Now I have 6 ski's, 3 of them 951's so now I know what I'm going to be doing on my nights and weekends till Mid September.
Great Thread !!!
Should I be impressed
probably, i mean it is in mid condition
