    1998 Seadoo Speedster 787 Motor Repair

    I have a brand new rebuilt motor in my 1998 Speedster. Starting at the dock, the plastic rave valve bushing threads stripped, so rave valve dropped down onto piston, scoring it and breaking piston ring. To repair, do I need to pull carbs to get the bottom exhaust manifold bolt out? I would...

    '98 SPX Performance Update

    Hey Gents, I have a '97 SPX that has been modified. It has a Solas impeller, intake, rebuilt powerhead by SBT, aftermarket tuner pipe, etc... Now my trouble. I had it for a couple hours, and all was well. Then I THINK I sucked up some seaweed and overheated it. It suddenly bogged down and...

    Speeditwin Cottage Racer Restoration

    Just posting pics of day #1 on the Speeditwin Cottage Racer Restoration. Not sure what way I am going to go cosmetic wise, but will play it by ear as I go. It is a mish mash of parts, so no real need to stick to traditional colours. I am of course going to get rid of the steel plate head...

    Carb Comparison '76 to '77 Evinrude 55hp

    I have a '76 55hp on my fishing boat. I can get a good deal on a '77 55hp that has been dismantled. I will likely buy it for the prop and hood alone, but trying to squeeze as many parts out of it as I can. I damaged the carb body float chamber on my '76, so was hoping to use this '77 carb but...

    Troubleshooting Briggs Fuel Pump Install

    Ok, so a neighbour wanted this pump installed on his motor. I agreed. It is not labelled as far as inlet, outlet and pulse. I guessed, wrongly I think, that the lone nipple was pulse, the one on bottom of pic was the inlet, and the remaining nipple the outlet. Any ideas about this thing...

    '92 XP Falls on Its Face

    I brought my '92 XP out for it first run this year, did not go so well! It will take off fine, then after 10 secs will fall on its face. It wont die, it will keep running, just lose all power. If I let go of the throttle, let it idle for a sec, it will take off again, only to fall flat after...

    Bought this one sight unseen, only knowing that it had a wood flywheel handle. Gambled and it paid off. 1914 Ferro Rowboat Motor. Guy was a scrap collector and found it in the back of an old 30's truck he bought. His neighbour called me over when we were done and said he had a few motors...

    New Speeditwin Cottage Racer

    Just Picked this up tonight. Came with a bunch of Michigan brass props, spare prop shafts, gears, etc... Look at the size of the fuel line, seller ran it on a Sea Flea in the 50s and ran Alcohol in it. No tiller, hence the home made brackets for the cable system. Should be fun to run this...

    You Never Know What You Are Gonna Find!

    Someone emailed me about some parts they wanted, so put an old 1959 35HP Elto on the stand that I got off an old OMC mechanic that is now retired and was cleaning out some old motors. Pulled the parts they needed, then thought while Im at it might as well pull all the rest of the usable parts...

    Letter to a men's helpline... Hi Dave, I really need your advice on a serious problem: I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: if the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes out with the girls a lot. I try to stay awake to...
