hey guys... i've narrowed the low idle/engine bogging problem that i'm having down to a bad rectifier... so i'm going to grab one and replace it... if anyone has one let me know! thanks in advance... also i would love to know what this voltage rectifier/regulator does and why it makes...

and.. i forgot to mention that i cleaned the rave valves today but have yet to run it...

quick question guys... my 96 xp has been having a problem with goping up to full idle.. it works when it wants to lol which has lead me to believe it is an electrical problem... in my last thread, it was suggested that i remove the red wire from the rectifier. i did this and it improved the...

i have the same problem with my 96 xp! try disconnecting the red wire from the rectifier and let us know what happens.. also i'm going to clean the rave valves.. i'll let you know if it helps at all

you are probably looking at a faulty stop start switch.. that's my guess.. from waht youve said the white wire apears to be a ground wire (how the engine shuts down) so the stop start switch is constantly grounding it out, causing the motor to not run. when you start it you are interrupting...

ok guys heres the update... so this morning i removed the carbs and cleaned them tediously.. i found about a tablespoon of sand in them... i have absolutely no idea how sand got in there... ay ideas? could it have been from a mistake flushing it out after riding? (i dont think i made one but...

i'm going to take the carbs off tonight... is it possible that i caould just get away with cleaning the filters or is it necesary to go through it all.. they were just cleaned imaculate the night before the first ride.. so within a week thanks

peirek- i'm 99% positive that all the lines are correct beacause i only removed one at a time lol so unless i really screwed something up they are all where they are susposed to be.. as for the fuel switch i replaced that last year because it had frozen up on me over the previous winter... so i...

ok so far i'm gonna clean the raves and put new plugs in.... is there anything else under the sun that you can think of lol i've been messing with this for 15 months now and i'm going to do everything i can possibly think of.. cost prohibitive of course haha

yeah i checked the carbs.. they were from the exact same engine and i double checked all the settings they were spot on.. as for the raves... i havent cleaned them yet... and i removed all the grey fuel line because i heard that over time it broke down..

andf the black cap you are refering to is most likely the fuel selector indicator.. it tells you where the fuel valve is set to. like if its on res. on or the off position

its probably because the ski is out of the water... there isnt a load on it so it idles higher than in the water... i think some where between 2500 and 3000 rpm if i recall correctly...

ok so this has been an ongoing problem with my seadoo xp.. last year i took the ski out once it ran perfect but took a little bit of water do to an un knoiwn leak... the next time i took it out it would not go up to full throttle.... so i took it to the dealer and they got it working so that...

i'm out of waterford... as long as i get everything up and going i'll be happy too... karl- i removed the pump shaft because the ski sat for a while and i was unsure as to whether or not the oiler was working. when i began the pjct of putting it back together again i didnt want to risk not...

karl- thanks for the help its greatly appreciated... i'm going to get on that this weekend hopefully... btw i forgot to mention that i converted it to premix fuel. will that make a difference?

unfortunately last summer i was unable to winterize my 1996 seadoo XP at the end of the season due to a broken leg... just my luck right... so now i am just getting ready to get the ski ready for the summer and i'm planning on having my work cut out for me. the last thing i did to the ski was...

hey i was wondering if any one knew where the engine drain plugs were on my 96 seadoo xp? i looked in teh service manual but all they give is a general area. thanks a bunch in advance

the compression is fine. my concern was that the salt water may have entered when the intake, gone through the carberauter, and fouled something up. teh ski took in some water in to the hull unpronounced to me. i proceeded to ride, and the ski began to cut out at about half throttle...

hi guys im new here and i gotta quick question that i hope you all can answer. my xp was running great last friday. until it took in a little salt water. i fixed it up and it idles fine. when i go to give it gas, it wont run. it sounds as if it is flooding itself. i think it is the...
