Getting right to it...ski sits outside but double covered through winter 1) Put freshly charged battery into ski this past Sunday (small compartment, big hands, PITA) 2) press SS button ONCE...get WELCOME message on display...ski has electric power 3) Install key....ski chirps twice, key is...

Is there any way to clear this message from the ski (after the service ...OF COURSE ;-) ??? other than having a dealer (or someone with a Candoo system) plug into the ski to clear it? I'm not paying a dealer a $105.00 to plug into the ski to clear a message....that's BS.

Forum dudes...your thoughts please..... '96 GTX [164 hours] finally back on the water, starts fine in the water, REVs like a beast (in Nuetral), etc..... So Friday evening I take her out for MY first ride in a LONG time (I've been waiting patiently after much fixing, etc).....slow putter for a...

OK...quick story......went out move the 2017 Spark 2UP (floating at my dock). It was started and launched 2 weeks prior with no issues. Pressed the Start button to wake her up....NOTHING.....dead.....should have gotten the WELCOME message on the center guage. Battery is good, all fuses...

OK, so after MUCH trial, tribulation and frustration....the 1996 GTX is finally back on the water. The last piece of the puzzle was the rectifier/regulator...the 3rd one was the charm. I had re-built the carbs back to factory specs last winter (Thank you MIKI for the sticky post and ALL the...

OK, I don't own a '96 XP but am helping someone out with one....I see some "strange" items on the wiring diagram, so questions: 1) What is this "Battery1, Battery 2" - Pins 2-19 & 2-20 in the MPEM? 2) What is "Power Supply / Ground / Ground" - MPEM Pins 2-6, 2-12 & 2-13 respectively???? 3) What...

Hi Guys, Looking for some help....I can't seem to find this particular part shown anywhere on any parts diagram. I'm looking for the Start/Stop Black COVER piece (oval shaped plastic part with a hole in it for the red rubber cover) that goes over the red rubber button that goes over the actual...

OK guys...I'm at the tipping point....the '96 GTX is starting to irritate me. The ski has had it's issues since I OWNED it...no RAGrets so far...but lately....she is starting to piss me off. So, I rebuilt the carbs this past winter, YES - followed MIKI's post like gospel.....first time...

OK, so my 2017 Spark 2Up was showing an iBR fault....iBR wouldn't work, but bucket was in the UP position so the ski could go forward (but no Brake or Reverse functions). Long story short....I had rebuilt this ski (from a broken hull situation) and simply swapped everything from the broken hull...

I read stories of guys (or gals) finding and buying (always great deals?!) NON-Runners of the mid-90's vintage of skis and I'm really curious as to WHAT you would consider a fair price for a non-runner. Of course, exterior condition, interior condition, negotiation skills, seller...

OK, so I've been working on & off on my '96 GTX - 787 for quite awhile now . Two seasons ago I THOUGHT I had it sorted and it ran pretty well until one day my son was riding it and it burped some black smoke and shut down. It started right back up and he drove it back to the dock. It would...

OK, so yesterday afternoon 4:00pm, I finally got the carbs installed on the '96 GTX...its been a long time a comin'.....anyway, I got everything re-installed (less spark arrestor, etc). Battery is good, compression is within 2 to 3 psi between cylinders, put a little squirt of MMO down the...

My apologies if this is a silly question....BUT......when you say "turn the LOW speed screw OUT 1 turn":....what does that REALLY mean??? The low speed screw has a T handle on it...is 1 turn OUT a 180 degree turn (1/2 twist = 1 turn of the handle) OR is 1 turn OUT a full 360 degree turn (1 full...

I THINK I've been chasing my own 12V low problem all wrong....my version of the '96 GTX has the integrated CDI in the MPEM (called a MAAP on my wiring diagram - I'm using a '97 diagram which matches my ski)....anyway, the wiring diagram shows the rectifier RED going into the MAAP and 2...

I'm curious if anyone out there has even contemplated a conversion/modification from the old DESS post system to the new RFID ball post system? Is it even possible or realistic to consider? Not really sure myself but I think the ball post might be molded into the ski body parts (so may not...

I am stumped/curious.....my '96 GTX wiring diagram shows me a [DC-CDI] module...supposedly in the top half of the front electric box . IT IS NOT IN THERE. The only thing in the top half is the rectifier. The bottom half contains the ECM/MPEM. It is definately not in the rear electric box...

A pointer to the MPEM diode replacement instructions would be appreciated. I keep having a 12V low problem (I think) with the ski....everything else checks out that I can determine (stator output is good), but I'm not definitively convinced that I'm getting 14.4 V dc back to the battery...

The WPRV on my '96 ski is leaking from underneath the black cap. I've taken the exterior spring off, the black cap off and the spring under the cap comes out easy. The rest of the valve guts move up and down "fairly" easy. I've looked at the parts picture (cooling system) of the valve and it...

'96 GTX....I have a rogue connector coming out of the electric box in front.....Purple/white wire, 8" long terminated with a single pole connector. It is not attached to anything. I have the '96 GTX wiring diagram and there is NO Purple/white wire shown anywhere, so I wonder what that COULD...

Yesterday while getting the ski squared away (carb issues...finally resolved)....I was running the ski on a garden hose and realized the ski was not really flowing water like it should, the exhaust pipe was getting hot. I shut the ski down but NOT the garden hose. I pulled the water supply...
