    2020 GTI Cracked Hull

    Hmm. This is complicated work. Not for a novice. I remember the tech saying to me that something like three inches holes could not be fixed. I now understand why.

    2020 GTI Cracked Hull

    I’m not sure how the dealers are doing it but that can be fixed in my opinion. I discussed this with a tech a few years back before buying my GTI. I think it involves heat.

    My 2018 Sea Doo Spark Partially Hydro Locked (Showed No Symptoms or Issues), Then Blew Rod Later!!!

    This and the towing speed. A capsized Sea-Doo or broken should never be towed at more than a certain speed. Was your towed? At more than 13 mph (as per my 2018 model), your engine my have been filled with water. I saw someone towing another Sea-Doo a few days ago and they were going much faster...

    speedometer

    Do you mean the display completely or just the speedometer value? The older models had a wheel spinning on the back (like for my 2003) but really, I never actually asked myself the question on newer models. Somehow I think it was related to the integrated GPS. There is one thing you can verify...

    Reliability - Naturally Aspirated vs. Supercharged

    They are now maintenance free but as Scotty was saying in Star Trek « The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain. » A friend of mine had a 2015 supercharged unit for a year and it worked with no issues.

    Hull damage

    This hull is gone I think. I had a discussion about that last year with a dealer. More than three inches was a problem in his opinion. There is a guy on the Spark forum who replaced his hull by himself and it was very complicated. And Spark hulls can be unscrewed, not these GTIs. Must be...

    Reliability - Naturally Aspirated vs. Supercharged

    I think the dealer’s reputation is a major factor. Bought a new unit in 2018 and there were several manufacturing issues and the dealer fixed everything. Came back like new. A guy around here bought a brand new Yamaha last year and I wasn’t impressed at all by the looks. Looked like a 10 year...

    Launch issues Seadoo 720 1999

    I tried this procedure on my 2003 GTI and the problem with these DESS posts is that they’re acting intermittently are first with inconclusive results. As I wrote in French, if no dealer is around and that only one key is available, maybe replacing the DESS post first is the best course of action.

    Launch issues Seadoo 720 1999

    Sorry for writing in French... Je crois que la première étape serait de changer le terminal DESS. Quand le terminal se met à mal fonctionner, il devient très difficile de faire un diagnostic. Cela peut aussi être la clé elle-même. Vérifier pour la présence de mâchefer en-dedans et nettoyer...

    Watercraft swerving to the right with straight handlebars.

    I have a similar issue with my GTI 90 but nothing serious. I noticed that this phenomenon is increased/reduced with wind. I suspect that my ski is slightly unbalanced and I told myself I would ask the dealer this year when winter is over. Could also be related to my weight distribution as well...

    Look here: https://www.ngksparkplugs.ca/tech-info-spark-plug-faq.cfm "Q: When should I use a resistor spark plug? A: NGK "R" or resistor spark plugs use a 5k ohm ceramic resistor in the spark plug to suppress ignition noise generated during sparking. NGK strongly recommends using resistor...

    what ?????? spark plug???????

    I read on that as well yesterday, these plugs can be upgraded to a better model but basically you have the right model as long as you have the hard top. Also, check this upgrade list to see if you can figure out numbers: https://www.ngkpartfinder.co.uk/files/NGK_Upgrades.pdf

    what ?????? spark plug???????

    Morale of the story: do not fully trust Sea-Doo manuals... The 2018 operator manual says that the GTI 90 and GTI 130 require the same plug model. This is not true. It is a different plug. I also purchased the service manual last year and the latter does not have that mistake (just checked). They...

    what ?????? spark plug???????

    The ones I have now are solid post ones. It means that you can’t unscrew the top part. When you can unscrew the post you will see a thread inside just like a screw. I have never had a machine that needed the post to be removed.

    what ?????? spark plug???????

    Just checked the Sea-Doo Spark 2018 manual with the 900 HO engine, same engine as mine. Model of plugs to use is... cr8eb... My experience with Sea-Doo manuals is that they are not always precise year over year and contain several mistakes. So for a 900 HO engine, one manual has a certain model...

    what ?????? spark plug???????

    Number 8 is very important here. This is the heat tolerance if I am not mistaking. Both plugs are very similar.
