New Engine Install

[ginandtonic]

Just purchased a 1998 Seadoo GS bombardier 717cc rotax. The old engine was no good so i went out and purchased a re-done engine with only 20 hours on it. I took alot of pictures with the old engine in, but now when im about to go drop the new one in i look at the old pictures for guidance to where all the hoses connect and things like that but i am welcomed to blurry pictures because i had forgot to put the camera into "close up" mode. fml. Well i need a little assistance to where all of these hoses connect and things like that. I am about to go out and replace all the fuel lines because i feel that doing that is cheap insurance. If anyone could give me a hand on where all these lines connect with some pictures of their own set up especially on the carb side of the engine that would be fantastic. Thanks for looking.

Get the manual online for free and its pretty easy I just did mine. You know you got to align the motor and all its not just as easy as throwing it in like I though lol.

Well I'm on a pretty skimpy budget, so how would I go about getting my hands on the alignment tool without buying one.

Check out seadoosource.com I think he rents them but you have to pay a deposit. Also look over other things and make sure you don't need wear ring and other maintenance stuff cause your install price will start moving north. I know mine did.

Ok. Will do. I'll tell you how it goes. But thanks for the help. I won't be able to get to my ski till Sunday. Bummer.

Good luck man, just take your time on it and all and don't loose any parts and its not as bad as it looks. I did mine pretty fast for the first time.
