This 2003 GTI has been a true pain for me. I've been working on it for a gentleman who probably shouldn't own a 2-stroke jet ski. :) Been up one side and down the other. He flipped it over a few months ago so now..... Electrical gremlins confirmed and I only know "what it isn't." LOL I've...

I don't know how to describe the feeling it but I now have a clear area from my house to the shop, no jet skis, trailers, or boats. I can actually use the whole driveway !!! It's awesome!! Shortly I will have room on the back cement slab of my shop. Oh the possibilities !!! My first...

Funny thing with my GTX that I haven't ridden in a year.... LOL sad but true. I got everything spot on, new/rebuilt engine and everything works. I went to start it up last month and it was ornery but finally cranked on it's own, ran like crap in the driveway then cleared up. I figured that...

Thought I'd post a few pictures of my 1996 GTX. I didn't think mine were that bad and I am more concerned with the mechanical end. My wife always does the graphic install, I do the prep. I clean the ski, polish with Meguiar's cutting compound. It brings the finish back quick. Sticker...

Fuel lines and hoses.... important stuff. Just finishing up doing an engine install on 1996 GSX. Testing the fuel system I couldn't get a vacuum with my hand pump so I did some checks, replaced the fuel selector, tested the water separator, ended up installing a rebuilt baffle due to crushed...

1996 GSX complete rebuild, Let's just say I checked everything and I've been fighting these "new carbs." They have accelerator pumps. The ski is difficult to start. When I gave it more fuel through the low speed adjusters it improved a degree but still very difficult on the low end. I moved...

I have a 1996 GSX 787 and I want to verify if the mag is bad but I'm not sure how to measure the voltage on the yellow wires inside the gray box. I pulled the connectors back so I could clamp the multi-meter leads to the yellow wires. Where do I connect the leads for the test? Here is what I...

Having a few electrical issues on the Speedster. Port tach reads above 4000 RPM but not below. I swapped the tach input with the starboard engine and the port tach reads properly. I'm guessing it a signal problem. Looking at the wiring diagram I see a 20k resistor in the line that comes...

Oh Boy, new carburetors with accelerator pumps on a 1997 GSX (787 engine) I'm troubleshooting this new engine install. I figured I'd go ahead and trust the new carbs the owner purchased and didn't disassemble them and the ski is running like crap on the water... but it FLOATS which is always...

Remember what you are competing with... There is no reason to sell at low prices. This is the crap that people are buying. It does not compare with your work. Your skis run properly and are reliable. If you price your skis alongside these you are doing yourself a disservice. Most of you...

I'm starting this thread for discsssion of Aftermarket MPEMs. Like aftermarket fuel pumps for DI's the journey can be difficult. I have a couple of skis with the aftermarket MPEMs installed so that means I am going to try to figure them out. If others have worked on them and had and or...

What is the likely candidate for the starter staying engaged after hitting the start button. Stick to the weird stuff. A friend brought his ski over and I'd like to fix it as quick as possible. :) I doubt that will happen... but I can hope. LOL Could it be the MPEM, Start/Stop switch or a...

I decided to take a shot purchasing an aftermarket MPEM for a 2003 GTI. Ski has electrical issues I'm certain but I wanted to rule out the MPEM. Skis starts and runs but is temperamental. Sometimes it won't do anything when I install the key. Then after I unplug the mpem, mag plug it beeps...

I posted some used parts on Marketplace and a local guy was looking for a MPEM for a 200? 951 carb. I told him I had one but wasn't sure if it worked but to bring his ski. Oddly enough, after some tinkering on his part we got a beep out of my MPEM. I programmed his key and the ski started. I...

I think I'm finally done with this ski. :D I painted it about 18 months ago and have been waiting for PWC graphics to help me out with something nice. 18 months of waiting was enough time for him so.... I found a guy on Ebay that is took care of me quickly more than once. I'm very happy with...

I know not everyone works on these skis but I know some do or have done so. :D I want to buy a few Connecting Rod Bolts that secure the connecting rod onto the balance shaft. I was told by an engine builder those bolts are 6mmX1.0mmX30mm "hardened." I'm having issues identifying the hardness...

I have to say my most miserable Bastid award goes to my current project 1996 Seadoo Speedster boat. It is at the top of my list because I don't like working on boats so it is an enigma why I even bought it. You can't get to parts without hanging over the side, and this SOB had too many idiots...

I'm posting in this forum because it is most read by the 2-stroke junkies. :D After my battle with the Seadoo Twin Engine Speedster engine alignments.... which were "spot on" when I got done modifying the engine bases, I encountered issues with the engines being difficult to rotate after...

Since the Speedster has transitioned from an ugly pile of greasy corroded junk parts to a sleek stiletto water carver :D :D I decided to begin using the cover I bought over a year ago. I remember from my Son's Speedster in 1997 the cover will fill with water and stress it. We had to figure...
