Normally when we hook those up for shop testing we adjust water hose pressure till some water trickles out the pisser hole. So I guess your flush attachment maybe is too restricted to accomplish that.
But, as long as it's not getting hot anywhere you should be fine. It's not like running on the trailer makes a lot of heat, not like loaded in the water does. The pissers are actually air vents tapped off the top of the manifold jackets to allow air to escape and thus the pipe jacket to fill completely with water.
So if you want to see a trickle out of the pisser I think you need to supply more water (try opening up that custom rigged flush nozzle to allow more flow).

Cool. FYI, I'm growing anxious to see the plans/drawings for your wheeled jetski-condo(R) dry storage racks made using Unistrut (demo version). Would a 3~4ft width would be sufficient for a 3-high stack?

The carts have to roll around inside the garage area, similar to a library cart full of heavy books. This way you can get to the green ski way in the back if/when you need to fire it up, just move a couple carts around and you're there! Voila, you just moved 9 jet skis around in less than a few minutes! Surely there's enough room in your garage for three carts?!?!?! I mean heck,when us other guys come visit and drink your beer we're all gonna want a ski to ride!
So nothing wrong with owning nine running skis, that's what SAD (Seadoo Acquisition Disease) is all about, a virus like this can't be cured, only suppressed until the next breakout then retreated. So you're gonna need some rolling carts.
As for loading and unloading them from the trailer onto the cart, these are minor details that must be considered during the design phase. Show us how this problem can be resolved, nobody ever claimed contracting SAD was a cakewalk in the park!

Hahahahaha!! Yeah I've contracted it, I think I got it from one of you guys and my wife is pissed!
So I just got home from work and first thing I did was go start the yamahlog on the hose, the thing starts right up. That was a short project , not that I'm complaining, time to finish sanding the chunk the PO took out of the bottom of the xp. I'm may have to start looking for another project ski!!!
I would not want to be here when my wife finds the fourth ski!!!

Okay but slow down and hear us out for a second, let us talk you down off that slippery slope/ledge.... What I'm saying is a little bit of OCD (Obscessive-Compulsive Disorder) is the polar medicine to buffer the SAD ferver.
So you need a strategy for dealing with this as you've reached a dangerous inflection point and it seems like at this time you should begin working on a CUSTOM-TAYLORED CART SYSTEM and perfect that before proceeding.
Otherwise if you give into pressure of skipping the OCD phase and directly to acquiring with reckless abandon you'll soon discover there's no precious workspace remaining. That would not be a good way to kick off the project of filling your garage with beautiful machines, proceeding into acquisition at this point the garage could become a place you'll begin to resent and then your front yard will become the victim.
So think about some OCD before things get totally out of hand!!!

You have a super strong point, ok no more ski's until I get that trailer out of my garage, and all ski's on some sort of stand. How about just some standard roll around stands?
Sure would be nice to have a 2 stack, WAIT!!!!
This just came to me, I think I solved the loading of the stacker system!
Using the hoist, load the lower one, then stack the next rack on top, then roll back under hoist and load top ski.
Dude that would get most of my garage back to working space!! I'm going to have a minute drawing this up!

pull the reeds out and insert tube into crankcase ....waters going to be in there too ...need to suck it out
if you start it , you run the risk of water port transfer and hydraulic lock of cylinder ...very bad day will result

I've got a 1997 GP1200 with a non-PV motor. Years ago when I first got it from my brother (he bought it brand new) I was flushing the ski and noticed that no water was coming out of the pisser on the lower left side of the ski just forward of the handle bars. My '94 Raider always has water coming out of the pisser when flushing so I was a little worried.
What I found was this: if the GP1200 is tilted nose up (trailer jack jacked way up) then no water comes out of the pisser. If I lower the front of the trailer, water comes out just like I'd expect it to. Maybe this is why you don't have any water coming out???
Like the other guys have said, I would've backed your ski into the water on the trailer and run it for 30 mins or more at the ramp.

Well she runs great on the trailer, if I spin a bearing on my first ride out I won't be too sad, remember I paid 400 for it and it's a ski with 61 hours on it.
I'm more than willing to rebuild the motor, I'll be a little sad if I break the case with a rod though.
I start it every day when I get home from work and fog it after, while I do this I listen for rod and bearing noise, soooo......

Man, am I late to the thread or what? David keeps stirring up trouble out here ... non-SeaDoo???
Yep, got about an inch of rain over past weekend in Escondido. As per Murphy's law I had unfastened my solar panels from the roof in prep for roofing job, roofers did not show up, I got a bit of water inside ... fired that roofing contractor and got another ... sitting now with bare roof but temp is back in 80s.
I know!!! Full trouble maker!
Next time let me know, my roofer is in palos verdes I could have hooked you up.
Side note, you think it's a good idea to start it every day, then fog it?

So, I went out a did it again, starts right up, I get so excited every time!!!
The thing starts right up and has instant crisp throttle response, idles perfect, smokes a lot but I fog the shit out of it every night so that's expected.
I keep waiting for the "shoe to drop" but I may have got the deal of the century on this puppy!!!

I hope that fogging oil is making it down to the crank bearings?
Did you at least put some oil in the fuel to make sure the bottom end is being lubed? Oil injection pump volume is zero at idle and low throttle (sitting on trailer you can't open throtlle but for a second).
Oil sprayed into the top makes the smoke and lubes cylinder walls but might not be making it down to the bottom end where the bearings are?
Mix up a 1/2 fuel tank of 40:1 for garage testing and you can dilute that to 80:1 any time you want by topping the tank with unmixed fuel.

Yeah, that ought to be enuff. Just didn't want you running it too dry of lube.
