Hello,
I am new to this forum. I have a pair of 2002 Yamaha Waverunners Model: FX1000, 140HP, four stroke. These Waverunners have been in storage since 2013. We live in Colorado and have kept them either in our garage or in my shop. My shop is not heated but is insulated so it they haven't been exposed to extreme cold conditions but I have had water bottles freeze in there. We are looking to get them operating again and I was just wondering what I might need to look for prior to starting them. I plan on changing the oil, replacing the batteries, draining the gas and using something like Sea Foam or ? to add to the first new tank of fuel for each. I did add some Sta-Bil a couple years ago but I don't trust the fuel now. I will check all of my hoses and lines. I did a quick inspection and there are no signs of mice camping out in them. I do have a service manual for them but I just wanted to get some input from some of the PWC owners and mechanics on this site to see if there is anything particular to these machines that I need to be aware of.
I figure that if I start going through them now that I won't be scrambling once the weather gets nice here. Thanks in advance for any help or advice that may be offered.
