Ok experts... I put my twice rebuilt 951DI back into the ski and had a small leak at the exhaust manifold gasket between the manifold and head. It was an aftermarket gasket and I used a coat of Loctite 7657 Copper Gasket Adhesive on both sides, but not on the flanges. It is now apart (such a...

What is the consensus on where to source a replacement bendix for a 951DI? SBT is out of stock right now but seems reasonable at ~$100. Amazon has several for way cheaper, down to $20 to $30. Westside Powersports? Used OEM from e-bay? I am unable to pull the crank myself so I want to make...

2000 GTX DI. Engine blew (piston missing a chunk and lost compression) and had it rebuilt by SES. At approx 5 hrs in the break in process, I briefly went WOT and right after it started idling rough, even died a couple times. Further investigation revealed it will not idle on PTO cylinder...

Continuing the long running saga of trying to get my GTX DI running. I seem to have burned out the starter or bendix. It was turning over for a while but not sounding right, almost like the starter was quickly kicking in/out while it turned over. Now it just spins freely. I plan to pull the...

I know the forums are quiet this time of year but I am back at work on my DI rebuild that started in Sept 2019. Long story short, installed a new engine and was breaking it in and things were going well. It had an occasional miss but ran good otherwise. On the first WOT run it went like crazy...

I am continuing to fight some issues on my 2000 GTX DI rebuild. I have a CanDoo and have been experimenting with the single cylinder activation. At idle, PTO deactivation makes the motor quiet slightly and it sounds very smooth. When I deactivate the MAG, it shuts off. It will also start and...

I have a 2000 GTX DI with low fuel pressure. Original OEM pump, new filters, cleaned in tolulol. Air pressure is 78psi and holds steady when I supply air with an external compressor. Air compressor puts out over 110psi when dead head. So I am looking at either the fuel pump or the fuel...

My long saga continues with my 2000 GTX DI. Had SES rebuild my motor after it blew. Got it back together and it was running pretty well. Put about 5 hours on it, multiple heat cycles, increased RPM's each time. But it had a mild, intermittent misfire. Interestingly, this misfire has been...

I finally got my rebuilt 2000 GTX DI back together and on the water. 1.0 hr on the new motor so far. It runs pretty well but I am getting an intermittent maint light/warning at times. No limp mode (i dont think - I have only run it up to 5000 RPM at this point), and no buzzer. It only lasts for...

I am really just venting... was hoping to spend the day getting my 2000 GTX DI finally put back together. Found an engine alignment tool locally and had read that you usually dont need additional shims if putting the same motor back in. Regardless, mine seems WAY low. I guess the mounts...

My engine is off getting rebuilt so I am trying to work through some of the items I broke during the removal process. Today's project is the isolator between the throttle body and exhaust. It broke when I tried to remove it. I see a replacement is pretty cheap, but I can't get the old one...

I am making slow but steady progress to get my GTX DI rebuilt and working again. I got the motor pulled a few weeks ago but finally got the head pulled to take a peak before sending it off for a rebuild. Symptoms that prompted this were a no start and a shop that told us one cylinder was at...

My family owns a 2000 GTX DI that has a blown motor. We purchased it used ~15 years ago and have never done any major motor work to it. It currently has just under 300 hrs on it. It ran rough for several years before finally refusing to start last year. A local shop did a compression test...

My 2000 GTX DI will currently not start, ~225 hrs on the motor. For years it has idled a bit rough but would not die. Last year it was going into limp mode and I took it to a local mechanic. He replaced the regulator, gave it back, and the ski was still not running correctly. I took it back...
