First leave the carbs on the ski and remove the line from the pump to the engine block which is on the fuel pump carb. Many forget to put that line back on when putting the carbs back on the ski. When you remove that line make sure there are no obstructions in the line or nipples. That line...

I think the issue was one of low speed holes was clogged. I fixed issue rebuilding carb again. I cleaned it out the first time using carb cleaner and blew it out well but I didn't leave the low speed jet in when I did it the first time. When I put the low speed jet in at one turn on the threads...

I changed the voltage regulator, clipped my coil wires, changed the fuel selector and the fuel filter assembly. Issue is still occurring. It starts instantly. But idle fluctuates all over the place. I adjusted the idle up to 3000 on land but dies on its own everytime and the idle is not...

I blew the lines out with an air compressor. And I adjusted the idle. It will stay idling but once you give it gas it does still die. The rpms still want to run away from me when I give it gas. I have idle set at 2k on land.

My 1996 GSX 787 has had all new gas lines put in it new fuel selector and rebuilt the carburetor with OEM Mikuni Parts last season following the instructions exactly. Last year the unit was running perfectly when I winterized it. This year it didn't want to start so I fully rebuilt the...

Check the battery voltage while you rev the engine out of the water if the battery voltage goes up above 14 volts then you need to replace the regulator. My 1996 GSX 787 had a similar problem it wouldn't rev in the water at all but would Rev on the trailer. When I checked the voltage it was...

Last year I changed my jet pump oil and used an anti-rattle cone. I have a 1996 GTI. When I did the cone I didn't get it perfectly sealed. Next time I'll do a pressure test for sure. This year when I went to change the oil to get ready for the season there was only water in the pump. The...

The 96 gsx is a great ski by the way. Its a blast to ride, fast, agile, and much easier to ride 2 up then an XP. I love mine!

My issue was the solenoid. I changed it and it fixed the issue.

Good idea i have two skis I will swap the batteries out and see and also I will test without a load.

My 1996 GTI will start and runs perfect once started. However today when I took it out I pressed the start button and got a click. I press the start button again and got a click. I took the key off placed it back on and it started right up. I took it out for a spin for about 30 minutes. Shut it...

It looks like the carbon ring isn't pushed all the way in the boot. Push it in and reclamp and test. If that doesn't work, my suggestion is pull the jet pump off. Remove the compression clip/or rubber compression bushing(if original it will be a rubber bushing), pull the drive shaft out, make...

Rev it to 5000k rpms on land and if the voltage goes above 14.5v the rectifier/regulator is bad. My 787 did the same thing and it was my voltage regulator. It would rev on land but not in water. Otherwise I would clean raves and clean/rebuild carbs with oem Mikuni kit, change fuel lines and...

Did you use the Mikuni OEM kits on rebuild, all other kits are junk in general. Also if you have old gray fuel lines I would change them out, and did you set the carb pop off pressure? Finally seadoo 2 strokes on land needs to idle high at 3k. In water it will drop to 1500. So turn up your idle...

Fiberglass repair is not hard, just buy a quart of resin, which will come with harder and buy chop strand mat. Chop strand is easier to work than woven mat. Sand the area aggressively at least 3 inch's around the area on both sides. clean with acetone. Where gloves and a respirator or at least...

I changed the rectifier/voltage regulator and also put a new VTS trim boot on as the one that was on the ski was leaking badly and the unit runs perfect! Took it to the lake today!

Did you ever figure this out as my 96 787 has the same issue?

I pulled the exhaust hose off and it looks fine. Curious about the rave in the exhaust water box.

I reved engine to 5000 and got 15.5 volts on trailer. Im going to try the rectifier. If anyone else has a suggestion let me know

My Compression is 150 each, just cleaned raves, just rebuilt carbs with oem Mikuni kits, and pop off is set around 40 on each, new fuel lines, new fuel selector, drained tank, new plugs, and runs perfect on trailer, in water it wont run past 3k. It seems like its cavitating but wont rev past 3k...
