Hello!
I'm new here, and quite frankly, a new jet ski owner. I've always wanted to get a jet ski, but never had the price to cover one, until I found a Seadoo XP 1993 for sale on facebook, coming at £500, which included the trailer, 2 engines (Original is in bits), and 3 different hoods.
I had to replace the starter solenoid, due to it not firing, I don't have any pictures of that sadly.
Also had to fix the fuel sender, the magnet simply fell out, found a small enough magnet on the fridge, and super glued it in place, again, no pictures sadly. There is more issues with the fuel sender, it only registers full, or empty. Nothing in between.
Yes, the clamps are missing, they're arriving tomorrow, which then I will take the fuel lines off, put the clamps on, and put it all back together, then install into the jet ski. I thought I ordered enough fuel line, at 4 metres, but turns out I need 2+ more metres for the return line.
I'm redoing all the lines in the jet ski, fuel, as you seen there, oil, and water. I'm trying to find as much transparent line as possible, since I believe it'd be easier to see problems, such as air bubbles and so on.
The biggest thing I got to do, that I keep forgetting to do, but at the same time keeps getting delayed due to my money going poof, is to test the engine. I need to order 2 new spark plugs, and a coolant sensor before I test it.
I have a lot more to do before the summer, hopefully I can get it done by then. Especially painting it... I've already chosen my colours, top half is going to be matte black alongside a gloss black hood, with small amount of carbon fibre wrap. Middle trim, and bottom half is going to be gloss black. Going to get white vinyl text also.
I do need some help with a part. The guy I bought it from also bought a new steering line, due to the old one being rusty beyond repair, and the fact it was bent. However, the new one seems to be thicker at the threads, than the old one, meaning it wont fit through the hole at the rear, is it wise to make that hole bigger to fit through or?
