    1996 GTS 587 turns but won't fire

    I could really use some experienced thoughts as I'm short on time. I usually have no trouble starting my '96 GTS after winterizing and a long break. This time (only here 2 weeks), it momentarily fired up, died down within a few seconds and will no longer start. The engine turns over fine and...

    1996 Seadoo GTS 587 Engine -- filling in holes

    Hi all, Doing some engine work on a 1996 GTS with a 587 engine--finally got around to removing a few bad bolts which prevented me from getting past the cylinder head. Major corrosion removed, and part of the wall holding the O-ring (pictured) had broken away. :facepalm: Anyone know what the...

    1996 GTS overheating

    So, straight to the point--my 96 GTS is overheating after only short runs (20-30 minutes). At first I thought the temperature sensor was going bad, I got a replacement used sensor, seemed to test out fine (boiling water test--no continuity even at 210 F), but I'm still getting a continuous...

    '96 GTS cranks but won't start

    So, this waverunner was able to start up without issue as recently as last night. The temp sensor failed and I removed it to test it--forgot to screw it back in. I took it out for a short spin (about 10 minutes) and I heard an alarm wail (obviously couldn't be the temp sensor--what could it...

    96 GTS steering cable replacement: identify tool for star-nut removal

    Hello all, hopefully someone can identify the tool needed to remove the star-shaped nut (see photos) which is described as a "half-nut" in the shop manual (part# 25). Looking at the replacement cable (see post #2), it looks like this star-nut actually screws into the hull. I'm trying to...

    '95 580 coils compatible with '96 580?

    Last year my 1996 GTS 587 completely locked up because it wasn't properly flushed (please don't ask). Will a 1995 SP 587 engine (complete working pull) suffice as a replacement, or will the ignition coils not match-up with my '96? My original '96 CDI box is fine, and I don't want to swap it...
