    2000 RX Graphics

    I always use automotive base clear as I have a few colors around. Black metallic is my goto as it goes with everything. :D I find the best match is just using a paint chip. Nothing better than the eye for matching in my experience and I've tried everything.

    2000 RX Graphics

    Seadoo RX Graphics I ordered a set for a GTI from him and he changed the colors for me and had them out in a week or so. I looked high and low for graphics for the RX and wanted some red in the graphics to make it pop a bit. I don't think the RX graphics I purchased are a special set but...

    2000 RX Graphics

    No, I'm not keeping my GTX even though it is "cherry." I have kept the set so my wife and I can easily ride together. I'll just have 2 different skis now. :D Mine will just be almost 10mph faster. :D :D :D They do look pretty and since the picture I painted my wife's handle bar cover.

    2000 RX Graphics

    I think I'm finally done with this ski. :D I painted it about 18 months ago and have been waiting for PWC graphics to help me out with something nice. 18 months of waiting was enough time for him so.... I found a guy on Ebay that is took care of me quickly more than once. I'm very happy with...

    Could be the rectifier. Check your voltage.

    2003 XP-DI Help

    Check the Battery and charging system for proper voltage. It can be a wire or connector. These skis are very sensitive as everything is managed by voltage.

    Speedster Boat Cover

    Cool, I'm mulling over which ones I should buy. :) So the goal is to have the water shed from the cover onto the ground outside the boat. My concern is that the water will pool somewhere on the cover and damage the cover. Currently I'm considering 2" x 4"s :D :D I've made some rigs with...

    1995 Seadoo Spi 587

    Is there any liquid in the pulse line chamber? If there is any liquid in the it will diminish the pumping capacity.

    Fuel Injector You have to send both fuel and air injectors for the DI. Good Luck !

    98 Challenger Project

    This should give you a good look at how they wear. The shiny inside section is where the tool touched. That meant I had to remove more material. You can see how it cleaned up. I use solder to check for proper clearance. (.032") I've run (.017") with no issues at all. I've seen some pretty...

    2000 Sea-Doo Challenger, 5672; Hi-Lex Throttle Cable (Turn Acceleration)

    On a side note I was wondering if the cable is the only difference between the boats that have this feature and those that do not. I was wondering if replacing the cable alone would give me this feature on the 96 Speedster as the later model 1996 had the slow rpm turn assist feature.

    DI Issues

    Did you remove the fuel canister and replace both filters in the fuel tank? I often wonder if anyone does this. These filters can deteriorate and break into small flakes. I'd send off all 4 injectors, fuel and air and have them cleaned. fuelinjectorman.com Good Luck !!

    2000 Sea-Doo Challenger, 5672; Hi-Lex Throttle Cable (Turn Acceleration)

    I'm still breaking in rebuilt engines on a 1996 and I can tell you that in a sharp turn the boat will slow down a lot but what boat would not when changing direction. My son's 1996, which he bought new would increase engine RPM if you were at low speed and turned the steering wheel all the way...

    1997 Seadoo XP High RPM-but struggles to plane out.

    Ski should blow through 47mph like nothing. As a few have mentioned, the wear ring is bad or you could be cavitating. Check wear ring first and make sure you have the correct impeller. Good Luck !

    1996 Seadoo XP "Rev-Limit" at 3800 RPM

    Rev limiter on the MPEM. I had a RFI do the same thing at 4170 RPM. I'd play with the throttle and coax it. One out of 20 times I could get it past 4200 and it would shoot up to 6900 and run great. Soon as I let it drop off below 4000 it had the problem every time. I try swapping MPEMs. Or...

    98 gsx limited 951 carb adjustment

    Accelerator pump system. You can delete that by installing larger jets. I have never deleted it but sometimes it is difficult process to clear the problems and get good flow and pressure retention. There are good thread on the forum concerning this. For instance there is a small orifice in...

    2001 GTX 951 DI air throttle circuit

    Did you check your fuel pressures? If you have not done it previously it might be time to replace the filters on the fuel canister. First, check the fuel pump pressure with key insertion, then check pressure with the engine running. Make sure the air lines re connected to the rave solenoid...

    2003 XP-DI Help

    On a side now the "old" fuel injector guy was very hostile to any type of injector cleaners for injectors. He said all that did was damage the injectors. For the money I send all of mine out and I have spares as well. $25 each it's just worth it to me every time. I'm sure they are good with a...

    951 DI Compressor Bolt

    I know not everyone works on these skis but I know some do or have done so. :D I want to buy a few Connecting Rod Bolts that secure the connecting rod onto the balance shaft. I was told by an engine builder those bolts are 6mmX1.0mmX30mm "hardened." I'm having issues identifying the hardness...
