    2001 Seadoo GTI won't start

    I can't figure out what's wrong. I bought this craft to rebuild and sell. Electronically, everything worked until I completely rebuilt the lower/upper end of the motor. I have done a number of these so I know that the wiring is hooked up correctly and the motor did run before rebuild. During...

    1998 SeaDoo GTI burned out the rectifier/regulator

    Just got done with a comlete rebuild from bottom to top on the 717. The only thing I didn't replace or mess with was the charging system/stator. Upon firing up the new motor and letting her run for about 15 minutes, I then shut her down and attempted a restart. Nothing happened :mad: I started...

    I just got through rebuilding this motor from crankshaft up. I started it up today (with flush kit) and no problems, ran smoothly, responsive, etc. After about 10 minutes of just idleing and giving her tiny boosts of throttle, I shut it down using the start/stop switch. I then attempted to...

    01 Seadoo GTX RFI sputters at low RPM

    Just bought this GTX. Runs great except for when you just give a little throttle - about 2000 to 2200 RPM. It acts like you are applying throttle and immediately relaxing throttle in 1 second intervals. After you give more throttle to take off, it seems to run fine. Fresh fuel and oil. I did...

    95 Kaw ZXI 750 Battery came loose while running - Need help

    I'm looking into buying a 95 750 ZXI that the owner states the battery coming loose while underway and shorting out the wiring. He says that he knows nothing about how to fix it or what to look for. I can get this at a steal if I can get someone that knows the Kawasaki ZXI's which I don't...

    New trim tabs for older (97-99) Yamaha GP's!!!

    Found a place in the NE that machines trim tabs out of aluminum for my 97 GP's. The tab mounting holes matches the old stock (plastic) trim tab holes, so installation is easy. The biz authorized me to spread the word on the tabs since they are hard to find - especially made of aluminum and not...

    Too much motor for this tunnel hull???

    Preparing to purchase a 1973 Road Marine Marathon Tunnel Hull boat with a 1990 Yamaha 250HP outboard. My fear is the obvious! I think the motor is too big for this 17' tunnel. I am open to opinions about this subject simply because I've owned several types of boats and PWCs, but not a tunnel...

    I've got this 97 GP1200 that has, or I should say, HAD a pair of trim tabs. One is broken off.
