Hi guys, long time no talk. Life took a turn, I only rode three times last summer and came REALLY close to dropping dead in November. But things are going good now and I'm looking forward to getting on the water. I had a 91 and 92 xp(s) pretty much given to me when I bought a two place trailer...

Does anyone know if the mag end of the crank is a tapered shaft or straight? I've never been into one of the ace motors and need to know if I can pull the flywheel straight off a straight shaft or do I need to bring up some tension with the puller and give the puller bolt a sharp tap with a...

Hey there guys. Hope everyone is doing good. I'm hoping someone can give me a pointer on using the candoopro to program dess caps on a 97 gtx and 98 xp ltd. Back ground here is The two machines run perfect, I only have one dess cord programed for each machine and want to set up all my machines...

Hi guys! I might be pulling a "Dr Evil" here and creating something that has existed for the last 30 years. My everyday machine is a 94 XP that I have done a bunch of "custom" things to but have always thought it was really sluggish on the low end with things feeling loaded too heavy. ("Custom"...

Ride Sober Ride Safe Ride Hard Post up some weekend pictures. Show DOOs, where you are at, who you are with, it doesn't matter. Harding Lake Alaska, 3:53AM.

Ok, the back ground story. I have a 98 XP LTD with the 947. I bought it last year with water damaged pistons, rebuilt it 1st over with oem pistons. On the 7th ride the air box fell off, water got in and scored both pistons. Rebuilt the top end at the start of this summer using Weiscos and...

Hi everybody. So I had some bad luck with my fresh rebuild on my 98 xp limited with the 950 in it. After being gentle on it for two tanks I was ready for the first real shot of wide open at the end of the second tank. I was already at cruising speed and edged it to wide open, ten seconds later...

Had a couple day "window" to run Slough through town. The top half was blocked so I got skunked for riding the entire length (again). The bummer is on the run up I had a tree hop out in front of me, break my hood and rip my mirror off. I got lucky and had everything land in my lap so I can piece...

Hi guys. I'm getting around to rebuilding the 98 xp Ltd I killed last year. This is the second bore over stock and I want to make sure the clearance for the valves is safe. Right now I do not have any contact of the pistons or rings with the valve assemblies stock and bolted in place. Can you...

There's an open channel in the river. Time to ride!

Hope everyone had a good season!! AK

Found out where the water is getting into my 94 XP. A crack in the fiberglass.

When I was test running my 98 xp rebuild a gentleman watching struck up a conversation with me at the boat launch. I told him I enjoy fixing/rebuilding old machines and he said a friend left a broken ski in this man's yard, at least, 20 years ago. He said I could have it if I wanted. I went by...

NUTS...... My 98 XP that I just got going died today. I think I seized it 4 times. It felt like it might have been a fuel starvation shutting the motor off, but the compression and visual check says otherwise. The damage is identical on both cylinders. It is concentrated on the opposite side...

Running my new, to me, XP 950ish is absolutely awesome. But I did the math and according to Einstein the speed the gas is getting sucked through the main jets at wide open should be warping time and space enough to make a black hole......... Ludicrous Speed!!!!!! (keeping just below plaid to...

Hi everybody. I just put a brass liner in my 155 pump on my 98 xp limited. It was only done because I needed my machine running RIGHT NOW and it was the only one in the garage that would work. I have heard many people speak against the stainless liners saying it will only increase impeller...

Solved the water leak. Finished the break in. Cranked her up for the first time today.

Had a guy down the street say he had an old DOO sitting in the trees that a friend left in the yard a long time ago. He said it didn't run and I could have it for free. It's the same 94 XP I ride every day. All the parts are there, the pump and motor spin freely by hand. This machine is...

Just wondering which model used a brass pump liner? I'm guessing it is brass or something similar. I have a 155 plastic body pump that was given to me with broken mounting tabs and a metal liner. I needed a new liner for my 98 xp and realized that brass one is the same dimensions. I know there...

Quick background. I bought this machine in running condition but had low compression so I only started it on the trailer for 30 seconds to make sure it was a runner before I went into the top end. Cylinders were bored/honed, OEM oversize pistons in, all new gaskets, a little sealant on the...
