    Where do these wires go?

    I yanked my dead battery in a hurry and did not take note as to where these 2 wires were connected. Before I start tracing them and figuring out what they are and if they are positive or negative, I thought someone might know here and save me some time. I "think" they came off the negative...

    UPDATED 7-13-12: NEW MEMBERS, PLEASE READ: A Message from Dr Honda.

    As I was clearing mine out I could see the oil level in my tank going down, I was basically pumping the oil through the spark plug holes and out. It was a very expensive pump to run considering the cost of a gallon of that damn oil.

    UPDATED 7-13-12: NEW MEMBERS, PLEASE READ: A Message from Dr Honda.

    The engines on my Challenger were shot by 200 hours on the hobbs. My engines were doing the same exact thing, well, no they were worse, as fast as I cleared the oil out they would lock right back up. In the 2 cycle boat section this has been covered ad naseum. You have 2 choices. 1. Continue...

    1998 speedster stereo

    I ordered a variety of these butt connectors when I purchased my boat along with the crimping tool. These makes the job nice and neat, and seal up the connections real nice. Just a suggestion. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PHFNN8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Help!!! Im needing a oil tank for my 1800, oem or non oem...

    This is what all men think and it usually get them in trouble... of course, I am not talking about boat parts here. :D I would have to look my tank over, I cannot see why a similar tank would be a problem. As long as it functions similarly. My only concern is I thought there was a level sensor...

    RESTO My Challenger Experience

    If there was ever a polar opposite to my Mini Truck, you have it there. I think that may be 3X longer than the Mini, at least 2X. LOL!! This happened when I was snugging down the adjustment screw, not tight yet, it broke way too easy. A friend of mine that is an aviation mechanic yelled...

    RESTO My Challenger Experience

    This is my Mini Poopers favorite way to move around town. Every time I say, what else can go wrong, it surprises me with something I never though of. Like brand new rockers that are breaking in half (my latest failure) Before that? It seems the fuel jet is fed by a plastic line from...

    RESTO My Challenger Experience

    Pale Rider has never owned a classic Mini.... ask me how I know. My Sea Doo Challenger is like a Honda Accord compared to my Mini. Carry on, this is entertaining to say the least.

    Do we have a thread for boat ramp A-holes?

    I really try not to add to the entertainment. My boat is not running right right now, I suspect I have been ripped off by a couple of unscrupulous "mechanics" or at least one that charged me over $500 to rebuild my carbs and go over my boat. I suspect neither happened and the "carb rebuild"...

    Post pics of your boat or PWC in / on / around the water

    We love our boats or PWC's, we love to play with them. We sometimes take a pic. I just spent a week with mine on vacation in the keys and though there should be a thread where we can post pics of us having fun with them. Other sections on here all we do is trouble shoot them. Here lets show...

    Adjusting the carb(s)

    I should have included this info in the first post, my apologies. 2 Rebuilt engines about 10 hours old. Rebuilt Carbs, everything adjusted and set up by a Sea Doo shop as you stated above. We discussed this issue and I tried to bribe him into a water test and adjustment session. Cash, girls in...

    Looking to buy my first Seadoo boat need for some advice.

    You tube can teach you most anything today. From paying guitar to working on cars or boats. I really need to get a screen mounted in my garage. I am always playing You Tube videos of DIY how to videos when I am attempting something I never have done before.

    Talk to me about fishing.

    OP I am with you, I grew up going out with my father, we were pretty poor so fishing was almost a necessity to feed the family. We ate a LOT of fish. I hate fishing, I find it boring and my ADHD ass goes crazy sitting still being quiet for hours waiting for a fish dumb enough to take my bait...

    Adjusting the carb(s)

    Can this be done with the carb in place or does it have to be pulled? I see in the shop manual I have to pull the air box, but was told I had to pull the carb to adjust and that sounds insane to me. I would like to lean the starboard engine out slightly. It is pissed off at idle (stalls a...
