Re: Seadoo 2000 LRV carbs frozen
yes but I would be sure of the compression in the engine before you do anything , it sounds like it was sunk or rolled or something, if you don't go through the carbs totally you will have a lot of problems later on I am sure of it. I use atf for a lot of things including removing water from the block or freeing up stuck pistons it is amazing how it will loosen things up and it actually mixes with water so getting salt water out of a crank case after it has been submerged is one thing it really helps with. I assume from your description it has a 951 engine in it, the exhaust manifold gasket is supposed to hold to both sides and it is a beast to put back in place especially the stud with the 17mm nut, I learned to change the nut to a 15 mm or even a 14 mm with a flat washer and a box wrench will then fit on it to tighten it, I have heated and bent about 6 wrenches just because of that stupid nut, also with that ski you better totally clean the entire fuel system and remove the fuel selector switch and clean it out. just my experience with those and be sure if it has a accelerator pump that it works properly as they get clogged up. pull the fuel pick up tubes out of the tank and clean that as well and the filter, I usually replace all the fuel hoses as they deteriorate internally if you see any goo when you disconect the fuel lines it means they are needing to be replaced, just take your time with it.
