I’m putting my 787 back togesther and when I go to tighten the head bolts to 30ft lbs 1 hole keeps stretching bolts. I took it apart to see if I could see anything and now I have another 2 that won’t hit 30ft lbs no matter how much I turn them. They hit 15 ft lbs on the first go through but...

Had to take apart the top end to fix a broken bolt and noticed this in on of the jugs. Is this a serious issue or can I send it?

My lift is being used by somethig else now so I had to make this! I don’t think it turned out to bad but I’ve still got a few more things to do to finish it.

I had a hole appear next to the gas cap when I was buffing my ski. What’s a good way to go about fixing it? This hull is beat up pretty good and not worth fixing properly. I was thinking of using a clear epoxy just to keep water out but figured someone here has a better idea.

I just noticed the threaded end of the throttle cable on my Spx was broken. Does it matter if it’s oem or aftermarket for the throttle cable?

I've read that SBT rave valves don't need to be trimmed back at all unless your going over 1mm oversized. Is this true?

My mpem on my Spx failed in a weird way and ended up finding one that is new old stock in England. Thought that was kinda cool and should share. I installed it before I thought of taking a picture lol

I’ve had the positive terminal on 2 battery’s crack this year. Would there be a reason this happened? Or is it just bad luck? It’s a 98 Spx and I put a rebuilt engine at the end of the season last year. I’m not sure what type of mag is in it. Also my mpem got messed up and is always sending...

i have another thread for the same question.

it has a 787 and the moment I touch the ground for the starter to the battery it starts turning over. No key or anything. I rebuilt the starter at the beginning of the season. And it has a fresh battery that’s a month old. I’ve tried 2 different solenoids 1 used and 1 brand new and the...

Going to look at a 2017 gtr x 230 on Friday. I was wonder what things there are to look out for. I saw that there was one issues in 2016-2018 but outside of that I can’t find much.

I’ve got a rebuilt 787 that’s .5 over in my 98 Spx and with the added oil in the fuel for break in it’s not running well. On the trailer it’ll back fire and if you try to rev it a little the rpm’s hang and sometimes it seems like it’s trying to run away. The water is still too cold here to do...

The nozzles for the oil injection on the rotary valve cover are blocked on my engine. It looks like who ever used this rotary valve last was running pre mix and put something in them to block them. What would be the best way to clear them out? Or is it just better to get a different cover?

Outside of making contact with the rave valve what causes this to happen?

Head is off a 787. Part of the pto piston cracked off. Is this head salvageable or should I just get another?

98 Spx has a hesitation when you go full throttle just off idle for a split second than takes off. I just set the carbs back to factory specs. All genuine Mikuni parts. Pop off is 39psi in each carb, low speed screws are at 1 1/2 turns out, high speed screws are closed and accelerator pump is...

I rebuilt the rave valves before the season and one is still leaking. Does this mean I need a new housing?

Where’s the best place to get springs for pop off? I pulled my carbs over the weekend and they both had shiny silver springs (98 Spx). The pop was 32psi and I need the correct springs but I looked on OSD part number 270500313 was right about $10 per spring which’s seems high for a small spring...

It’s a 98 Spx and the old wear ring just came out of the pump housing with little effort with the impeller still installed. The new one goes in the same way and it is soposidly OEM. And there is a gap between the ring and the housing at the bottom. It spins inside the housing. Does this mean...

I’ve been trying to figure out a water leak/ cavitation from idle on a 98 Spx. I’ve got it borrowed down to the carbon seal and have been trying to put grease into the pto fitting to get the stainless float ring to snug up to the carbon ring. When I put grease in it just comes back out the...
