So about 5 years or so ago I did a "resto" of a 96 XP. She's been great but felt it was time to change it up a bit. RESTO - My semi resto 96 XP project So on the list of things was this: West Coast head with pump gas domes Ocean Pro FA's UMI New carbs....like brand new with accel pump Single...

I remember chatting with someone about parts for an extended pump. I looked through all of my PMs and apparently deleted it. Anywho kicking around the idea of installing an extended pump on my 96xp. I'm gathering all I need is the pump extension, driveshaft, and steering cable. The person I...

Looks like I've got a free-ish Sat afternoon. So plan to hit up Jordan. Plan to be there as soon as I can, but guessing around 2-3pmish. 1983 IDoSeaDoo PGHMAN You guys down?

Finally got a free day! Got my honey do list out of the way tonight and my wife is taking our kid out with her for the day, so I'm free. So I'm going to meet up with 1983 tomorrow and ride falls lake. We should be at the Barton creek ramp around lunch time. I'm going to head to his house around...

So it's time I start digging into my electrical gremlin I've created on my 96 xp 800. Towards the tail end of last riding season things went nuts with my multi-gauge. Every warning light was illuminated, which caused the beeper to go off constantly. Ran into the issue at one point where the...

Put together a really quick vid of the last 2 rides we had at Lake Gaston. I really wish summer wasn't coming to an end. On the flip side there's some issues I need to get sorted with my ski, so I'll get those taken care of in the off season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3USnDYiApFs

Anyone ever tried the WSM throttle cables? I've heard cables were one thing you could use SBT for, but wanted to hear opinions on those too. This is the WSM cable. Seems to be pretty much only sold on amazon and you can't link amazon here for some reason...

So after a day of riding. Close to about 33 miles of good solid riding and no issues with my ski. Ran flawless all day. Come back to the dock to gas up and head back out. Notice my gauges won't turn off and all the warning lights are illuminated. Oh well it starts and runs fine so off we go...

Back during my resto I bought nearly every handlebar pad cover I could find. Pretty much all of them I threw away, but this one. I got screwed more times than not on ebay. Oh well, live and learn. Anywho I paid $100+ for this one the gentleman said was in "good" condition. Obviously...

So checking things over before this weekend I noticed my longer bolt solution has failed. Guess jumping wakes this weekend ripped out the remaining threads. So gonna overnight a helicoil kit and get this fixed for good. Pitch is 1.25 right? What other information do I need to get the right size...

Let's make it happen! My ski is finally ridable. Sounds like storms may roll in later in the afternoon, so might want to do earlier rather than later.

So after time and time again of trying to get my ski tuned, pointing in every direction looking for a "problem" and coming up empty. It's time to just go back to stock. I THOUGHT I found the culprit with finding the fuel separator gasket torn with about an inch gap in it. Figured that was...

So had a spare few mins today while working from home. So started to get the ski ready to take to the lake tomorrow. I constantly have it on the tender when I'm not riding it. So filling it up with gas I wanted to see how much further I had to go. Pop on the key and nothing....no gauges nothing...

Figured this would be easier for us to all keep up rather than PMing back and forth. So far this is what I know. Ride Jordan Lake and meet around lunch time. What ramp as I've actually never been to Jordan Lake? Right now weather is looking pretty good. Only 20% chance of rain....as of...

Can't open a thread on the board seeing if it's section specific. Yup.....I can post here, but can't post in the Southeast section. Odd.......

So last year I bought a rectifier from minnetonka in case that was the issue, and never replaced it. Figured I might as well replace it since I have it. I haven't yet been able to test it after pulling the carbs and going through them again. The more I think about it the more I think it's not a...

So I'll be taking my ski out this Friday and will likely need to adjust my carbs. Given the location of the low speed adjusters not sure if it follows the simple righty tightly/lefty loosey. Basically what I'm asking if I'm looking down at the carbs on the exhaust side of the ski would I turn...

So last year after my semi restore I unfortunately worked my summer away. I only put maybe 5 hours on my ski. The first time I took it out it ran like a champ all day until I went to put it back on the trailer. It started to bog but would clear up on its own. The last time I took it out it...

Did a search and can't believe we didn't have something like this already.....either that or I searched wrong. Welp it's getting closer to the dreaded winter so you FL guys will have to carry us through once it gets cold. However, today it was close to 90* and my detail I had planned fell...

So the other day when we went to run my ski we decided to pop off the cover to the water valve and noticed the metal clamp just spinning around in there freely. So we took it out. We figured it did something.......but what does it do? It's the little rusty looking clamp in the pic in this...
