Once you get it to at least crank, clean the gas tank and baffle, then change all the fuel hoses and fuel selector switch. Pull the carbs and clean them good and/or rebuild. I had so much green crud in the system I'm surprised my 97 GTX ran when I bought it. But I wouldn't do any of this...

I'll double check next time out if you think it is way off. I still have that slipping issue occasionally , probably due to the carbon ring someone had mentioned. RPMs do spike when this happens, possible I have that # in my head. Are your carbs rejetted ?

SMonster, Is this what you have ? http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/Y-MAR-MINIF-LT-AS.html

Yea, This was a temp fix like I said and got us on the water the past 3 days. O-ring would take a week and no guarantees. Both threads inner and outer didn't look that great. It's not the best design, real easy to bump while you're in there. I'd like something a little more heavy duty, maybe I...

During the course of fixing a multitude of problems w/ the 97 GTX I bought last week, I came across an issue w/ the water seperator. When I cleaned it , I didn't like the way it seated. Anyway, after the whole filter / fuel line change, carb cleaning, it would still bog at high end. So I go...

The last 4 digits are E797. Is the red circled area still a fill for this cavity that is just sealed ? If I had gotten that bolt out and no oil followed .........

Kicker, Thanks for the photos, but it appears that my fill plug is sealed, I scraped all the paint off and there is no slot. It just looks like a freeze plug. I did remove some things to better access the drain, it'll be a bear, but I can't proceed unless I can refill it. Here are a couple...

Lou, I remember someone talking about a specific drain and fill plug for the 787, - and adding 1 ounce of SAE 30. Steve

Wondering if anyone has a link to a drawing / photo of the location for the small oil reservoir ( 1 OZ. ) that has to be drained and filled when the motor takes on water. Does anything have to be removed to access it ? Thanks. Steve

I put 2 Ty-wraps around the 2 center grooves in the boot as tight as I could get them. It did make a difference, the ski hit 51 mph max. After 20 min of riding, performance slipped some and no pick up from a standstill. We had to "milk" it to get up around 40. So is the verdict to change out...

Thanks for the info, I'll do the ty wrap and put it back in water Tues night. Will that be enough to compress the carbon ring though ? I can get a hose clamp and pad it if that would be better. As for the wear ring gap, yes definitely smaller than a dime. If it matters - the edge of the...

[SIZE=2] Hi to the group, my name is Steve and thanks in advance for taking time to read my question. I just purchesed a 1997 GTX that sounded great on the hose in the driveway, only to find that it has a myriad of problems. First off, we left the hose run while checking out the craft at the...
