What’s the downside of the RFI? I’ve only had carbureted Sea Doos. I’m looking at a pretty clean 98 GTX RFI. I’m a automotive mechanic so I’m not afraid to work on stuff but I do enjoy the simplicity of the old carb models. Just don’t want to jump into a constant headache.

Sorry this might be long. Two summers ago my 96 gti had a dying issue I thought it was electrical and chased the wrong way. Finally the pto cylinder seized. So I figured it was a lean condition. So I pulled the cylinders sent the top end to Full Bore including pistons and plugs. 10 months later...

Who makes a good quality safety switch for my 95 xp? Spent last week on vacation and both skis ran great but my xp kept having the switch pop off. Tried a couple of different caps one was oem but still happens. Wrapped black tape around the post and it worked good enough. Figure the post most...

I need some clarification,my top end had small O-rings around the top of each cylinder basically as the head gasket. The wsm kit has the same o-rings but the manual says loctite 515 in the o-ring groove. Is that with the o-ring or in place of the o-ring. The manual makes no mention of 515 and...

I pull the motor out of my gti and got the top end apart. This is what I found. The question is why? My motor had maybe 20 hours on it. I purchased it from a shop near Lodi ca. When I did the install I new nothing about sea-doos and I didn’t go through the carbs. However it ran great. Started...

I rebuilt the carb on my 97 gti. Used the carb thread to the letter. Replaced strainer , selector valve and fuel lines. Osd kits, pop off was good. Overall it runs good. Idles perfect, but I have a bit of a hesitation from idle to mid throttle it’s worse cold. If I feather it a little it’s fine...

I am rebuilding my carb using the carb rebuild thread. I am at the point of checking pop off and I can’t get pressure. I must have a leak somewhere. It’s a single carb 717. I am holding my finger over the return line but just can’t get the carb to pressurize. I can get pressure from the pump...

So my 96 gti dumped the pto cylinder last Sunday. I leave on vacation in 2 weeks, so instead of trying to rush a repair I picked up a almost perfect 97 gti. I just gave it a quick shake down run and it has a slight bog off idle and again at wot. I can work through both by feathering the throttle...

End of last season my 96 gti died 3 times like I pull the plug. Then would start back up and run. Today I took out to see if problem was still active. After about 90 min of running it acted up. Just shuts off. Not like fuel but like pulling out the lanyard. If you try to restart you get one long...

So I took my skis on our weeklong houseboat trip. On the second day the buzzer started going off on the 95 xp I didn’t think the buzzer worked. After checking what I could I couldn’t see a reason. Ski ran great and no lights were on. Didn’t seem hot at all. I unplugged it. Day three the...

I reinstalled the oil pump on my 96 gti a few weeks back. Replaced the filter and the small lines. Opened the bleed screw until good flow came out with no air bubbles. Today I pulled out the ski to run it and bleed the air from the small lines. I just keep getting little bits of oil and air...

I finished my 95 xp project. I put it in the water today. This was the second time in water since I’ve had it. The last time the trim wasn’t working and I had it where I thought middle was. It sucked air on hard accel coming up on plane. I fixed the trim and now when trimmed down the ski works...

I have a 94 xp that was part of a purchase of 2 skis and a trailer. I wanted the trailer and the 95 xp. The 94 needs to be gone through. It runs but on start up with fresh fuel it basically goes to 5k rpm. It responds to throttle but never runs below 5k. I’m thinking carbs need to be rebuilt. I...

can anyone tell me if there is suppose to be a sealing ring between the impeller housing and the spacer on my 1995 xp. My 96 GTI has one but it doesn't have the spacer. I pulled the pump and there is only the o-rings for bailers. Couldn't it suck air between the spacer and the impeller?
