I'll give you a vote. :) That ski with all the performance is not going to be an easy build. I'm sure it will take some tuning but I do have the carbs and all the parts that were on there so it might not be the monster I make it out to be.

I'm asking because I've seen a ski with a big silver registration sticker on the back. It wasn't pretty. I'm trying to avoid this for him if it is possible.

No vote. I just posted the skis on my list. LOL

I'm gonna take a picture of the 97' hull with crap growing all over it. :D You're gonna make me build that thing.

A friend got his ski painted and they removed the hull identification numbers on the skis. I guess it was too difficult to paint around them. Any ideas on how to get some replacements? Skis are registered.

Sell ya the whole rig for $1500.

Man that one is probably the one I don't want to do. I have about $2k or more in go fast stuff for that ski. I'm including the mild Miller built race engine. It has buckshot carbs and intake, factory pipe with the solenoids, that jet pump nozzle everyone wants to buy finger throttle and all...

Yes indeed. With the carbs as long as they are clean and the nozzles in the throat are spraying strong. I've only replaced one carb having restored about 20 jet skis. LOL

Nope, no new impellers. How is the performance? Top speed? Out of the hole? As @RockyImminence stated (1mm) clearance is fine. I'd have to have a pretty large gap and a performance issue and I'd never buy new anything. LOL Fix the old stuff. Good Luck !!

Boy O Boy I got so many skis in the yard and I'm about to thin them out. I have a few that I want to restore just to ride them. I painted my 2000RX and that ski looks terrific so my next skis are gonna get painted and new graphics. I enjoy restoring more than riding. I want another RX - I...

2-strokes much more simple and cheaper to repair and operate. You just have to be mechanically inclined. I'm not a boater so I don't like big jet skis. My favorite all around hull is the 1996-2002 GTX with the 787 engine. Carburetors are probably a preference for many but fuel injection is...

I'm in Pearl River. I'll send you a private message.

Actually it wasn't slipping. The whole dang jet pump was destroyed. I'm still trying to figure out how that happened. Water got in but how. I loctite the 3 small bolts on the front of the pump. Strange. Maybe it all started with a bad bearing internally. They are all new now.

There are 4 beeps, then there are 4 beeps. LOL Sounds funny. If you get 2 beeps then 4 longer beeps shortly after.... you have the problem because the ski won't start. I sometimes run into this with a low battery or just plugging a battery into a ski. I don't know if it takes a minute to get...

The big hole at the top is the one where install the flush line.

You can't tighten them up??

Shaft length with both bumpers was AOK. Strange failure.

Insert the key, remove it, reinsert it a few times. You have to refill that filter. The pump is only going to run for a few seconds when you insert the key or when you are cranking. Good idea to fill the large filter with fuel before install or as installing. The system should pressure up...

Well it wasn't the hat slipping. :D Not my ski so I'm going by what I was told and the hat seemed to move really easily on the drive shaft. The whole dang jet pump was destroyed. I'm gonna check the length of the drive shaft with the buttons. I've had an issue with that on another ski. Not...

Just reading this for the first time. I don't know what you heard or didn't hear with the stethoscope but if the stethoscope doesn't pick up engine knocking (mechanical) then you don't have a mechanical issue. A lot of things could cause a knock or rattle that are not internal mechanical...
