You have to test your fuel pressure. Good that you are getting the injectors cleaned. Giving them throttle to start tells me you don't have the idle set correctly which means you'll have to reset the TPI. Did you replace your spark plugs? What is the quality of your fuel? Put some high...

Amen to that. I never trust a crank because you never know how many hours are on the engine or how it was treated. :D Only way to tell is disassembly and inspection. My point is that I wouldn't not "skip doing the top end" after disassembling the engine. Merry Christmas brother.

I believe a lot of that talk of replacing everything was just shops covering their azzes and making money and I will never cop to that methodology. This BS started in the mid 1970's with the two stroke motorcycles. To me you just test troubleshoot and replace/repair what isn't working as it...

I'm cheap :D :D and it was a pain in the ass. I was not able to find any info as to the location of the diode and no pictures to tell me where to look so I started digging. LOL I posted pictures on the internet so others could find it, they are on this forum also. I ended up making (2) test...

I may have an MPEM that would be useable in the ski. I've dug into them previously. :D

I know Matt Braley could set a timing curve on certain model ski when programming a key. I'm curious if it is as you say or it is not someone one would notice. In the end... Who Cares?? ... you got it running. LOL

Hmmm... I thought the MPEM had a timing curve for the engines. Well.... glad you got it working !!

So the relay shuts down the engine?

It does have some weird plumbing. :D This will be an adventure for sure.

Dug out the parts box and putting it together. It's dirty but I'm getting the engine ready for install. Cleaning, checking, tapping out the holes, rotary valve installed. I'll make it look nice. :D I'm not dropping it in until the pipes are cleaned and painted and it's all ready to go...

Maybe give it a try. I kinda gave up on the fuel systems as it's easy enough to pop the hood and have a look. :D . That large gauge is so expensive and difficult to find. I wish some gauge manufacturers would get onboard and make something compatible. I like it when everything works.

I've worked on a number of Seadoos where the pink wires go directly to the fuel gauge. I guess it depends on the year.

I'm pretty sure you can get remove the sending unit. You might have to get ugly with it. :D

Old wires change color so that is difficult sometimes. Generally 2 pick wires from the fuel baffle send the resistance measurement to the fuel gauge. Usually the purple and black wires see power. Black= common, purple = 12 volts.

If you are speaking of the large 3-1/4" gauges those are difficult to find and when you do they are expensive. Prices are very unfriendly. I'd check the fuel baffle first to make sure it is sending a good signal to the fuel gauge.

It would help if you state where your measurement probes are connected. Check your ground wire resistance to the engine. You may have a bad connection or a damaged wire.

I have never noticed that. I don't like it but... I wouldn't replace it. :D Good Catch !!

I hate that o-ring manifold. It may well solve one problem but the channels corrode and it needs to be replaced. There is no repairing that thing. I have 2 on my junk pile right now. I'll take the old ones.

I had a 96' XP which had the 787 engine. It ran about 57mph. Plenty of power. This ski is likely the same thing pretty much. I just happen to have all these high performance parts just sitting around. :) I'm gonna build it only because "it deserves to be built." Otherwise it's just junk...

Upper hull is sanded with a 320 grit dual action sander. It looks good from a distance because the color is more uniform. There were lots of uneven surfaces under the graphics that I figured I'd sand smooth. I just get my trailer bearings from O'Reilly's Auto when I need them. I saw bearings...
