Greetings to all on the forum.
I am a retired Brit, living in the Philippines. I have a really nice private beach property fronting on the South China Sea on the island of Palawan, and have two older jetskis - a 1997 Seadoo GTX and a 1997 Seadoo GSX. I enjoy tinkering with these watercraft, it's a pleasure to actually be able to do some mechanic work without a computer, reminds me of my youth! The only downside is all of the bending over that goes with working on the engines. Easily remedied, however, with cold beer!
Neither of the two jetskis were in very good condition when i purchased them, but both are now mostly functional. Current task is replacing the carbs, both jetskis had very stiff throttle shafts on the MAG-side carbs.
I joined the forum while searching for info on Mikuni accelerator pumps, very useful, I now think that I understand how to hook them up. Unlike the original carbs, the new replacement carbs that I obtained from Atlantic Jet Sports have accelerator pumps on the PTO-side carbs, and this was a bit of a mystery until I found info here.
Can someone provide me with a pic of the fuel lines that go from the accelerator pump to the carb throats, so that I can have a look around locally for something suitable?
Much appreciated.....
