I've always used the Sea-Doo brand mineral oil in my 95 xp 717. The container has been white. I ordered oil online, and received a black container with a new label. It 'appears' to be the same thing with a new packaging, but before I dump it in my tank, I wanted to verify that they...

My 95 xp 717 - Starter is spinning, but I hear no "click" and engine obviously doesn't turn over. I'm assuming the Bendix isn't engaging. I'm going to pull the starter out today and bench test it. I'm assuming I'll be ordering a new starter. Is there anything else I should be...

Starting a new thread since the other has a misleading title. 1995 XP 717 with the original impeller. So I bought the wear ring from ebay, Bayareapowersports. Cut the old one out, hammered the new one in, and the impeller won't fit into the wear ring! This it the original SeaDoo...

I removed my pump this weekend to replace the drive shaft bearing, and found that the wear ring is pretty beat up, cracked and split. What are the recommendations for sourcing a wear ring for a 95 XP? I see prices from $80 OEM to $35 on ebay. I don't mind spending the extra for quality, but...

After sitting for the winter, I fired my 95 XP up for the first time this weekend, and smoke starting coming out of what I believe is the seal carrier bearing. I stopped the engine as fast as possible. Obviously something seized up, and there is something black that has melted out of the...

After sitting for idle for three weeks (it ran fine three weeks ago), my 95 xp 717 wouldn't start today. It's making a 'ticking' sound, and like something is spinning. I'm not getting the 'CLICK CLICK' like when the battery is dying. This is coming from the electronic module. I pulled the...

After all the cold starting problems I've had with my 95XP, even after the carburetor rebuild, I'm wondering if it's not worthwhile to just get another carburetor from Ebay, rebuild, and drop it in. Is there ever any reason to 'replace' a carburetor? This is a freshwater only craft that I've...

First post of the 2013 season, and looking for some help from the experts! My 95 xp is having a hard time starting. I started having the problem last year, but it’s time to do something about it. It runs fine once it’s started, just seems take a lot of cranking to get it here. This happens...

Greetings all...weird problem on my 95 XP. After a full day of riding, burning almost a full tank of gas, I had a weird throttle 'blockage' problem. Intermittently, the throttle would only 'pull' about a quarter of the way, then would stop as if hitting a physical obstruction. The throttle...

I'm about to install my Hydro Turf on my 97 SPX. I just want a final opinion on what to do in the footwells. I read Lou's instructions on cutting the heads off the rivets, and filling with epoxy after removing the old traction pad from the rear. However, this model never had the traction...

I seem to have this issue every year, but this year is a bit worse, and two times the trouble since I bought a 97 SPX at the end of last year (the other is a 95 XP). They are both doing the essentially the same thing...turning over, won't start after sitting all winter. Both have had the...

I just replaced the jet pump oil for the first time on my two Seadoo's. This is probably going to be a stupid question that I already 'know' the answer to, but I'll ask anyway. When I pulled the cone off, I noticed there was a red 'locktite' like buildup where the cone meets. I scraped it...

So, I replaced the gray Tempo fuel lines on the 97 SPX I just bought. Cut a couple open, and found they were in VERY good condition. Slight 'green goo' at the connections points, but nothing near what my 95 XP looked like when I did it last year. Most of the fuel lines looked perfect, other...

Is there any such thing as a double trailer that will fit in a standard, 8 foot, single car garage? Seems all the doubles are 100" wide. I have two X-4's, 42 inches each currently on single trailers. Do I have any options here? Hoping to do this as cost efficiently as possible. Thanks!

I've got 120 psi on both cylinders of my 95 XP. Brand new guage for auto zone. What's included in the top end rebuild, and is there a procedure on the forum somewhere detailed? I didn't find one. Also, funny thing is, that I got the compression tested by the shop back in 96 when I first...

Anyone have any experience with this product? With all the starting problems I've been having, the thought came up that it could just be the ethanol in the gas. I've never drained the tank. It's cheap enough to make it worth a try, but don't want to do anything that could cause damage. Is...

95 XP with a 717 engine. I have replaced the gray fuel lines, cleaned the selector switch, had the carbs rebuilt and adjusted them to spec. Brand new spark plugs and a good battery. The thing just does NOT want to start when it's cold. Once it's started, it runs fine, although it may be...

I've got a 95 XP 717 engine. The temperature beeper is going off constantly. The high temp light on the dash never comes on. The engine doesn't feel excessively hot to the touch. I pulled the hoses off to see if water was going into the engine (ran it for only a couple seconds without...

I am a novice mechanic replacing the carburetor on my 95 XP 720 38mm carbs. The reason I am replacing - after replacing the gray fuel lines, wanted to rebuild the carb. One of the bolts is basically fused to the carburetor (PTO side) and will not come out. The top and bottom of the bolt have...

I had to remove my exhaust system to replace the manifold (95 Sea Doo XP, 717 engine). I tried to order the sealing ring that goes between the tuned pipe and the pipe cone (item 38 in picture), and apparently it's been discontinued. Any suggestions on what can be used in it's place...
