    RESTO 1996 Speedster MPEM Fuse Holder Identification

    Can anyone identify the 4 fuse holders on the mpem? The service and operators manuals and all online images are for a different year I think, seadoosource is the only site with a picture of this computer but the fuses aren't labeled there either. It's 2 horizontal one above the other, then 2...

    Do I need SBT Break-In oil?

    I wouldn't use SBT oil. The way they bend you over and ass rape you, I don't think I'd trust their lube.

    SBT Cylinder Prep

    Wow, I really expected better. SBT has been hyped up so much for OEM parts, I really thought I was gonna have a better experience. The whole point of buying from them was Wow, after all the hype I've heard about them, finding a reputable place with OEM parts, etc... I expected a lot better. I...

    SBT Cylinder Prep

    Really?? I mean that lines up perfect with my experience, and I know 90% of guys think these skis run on black magic and OEM-Only decal kits, but SBT was the place every single post recommended

    SBT Cylinder Prep

    Is this pretty normal for SBT Cylinder Exchange?? I've had nothing but problems with them so far, so par for the course, but I went this way so I could avoid needing machine work on my cylinders... I just noticed this one, so I'm gonna have to go through all 3 I guess. I'm not really worried...

    Stalled then clanging noise when trying to restart

    I'm with the guy with the loose starter. Assuming the stall was sudden and odd with no other crazy symptoms, look for what's changed first. You have a loose starter, maybe a wire to the block, etc and it's hot making a poor connection, that can cause a lot of weird issues. The pinging, is it...

    Trying to pick a ski

    I doubt there's any new opinions, but I've got a Js550 and 650SX both in front of me right now. I really just want something I can get the most out of in flat water. I rarely have more than chop to jump, so I was leaning towards the 550 thinking it's lighter and simpler, probably takes less to...

    Rough Spot In Throttle

    All of that is good except I haven't done the coil side of the wires though because the wires are built into a clip that attaches to the coil. I know it's running a little rich and loads up with the low speed out 1¼, so I'm wondering if it's flooding. I had more power with the airbox off but...

    Rough Spot In Throttle

    I've been playing with my carbs since I cleaned them, got great advice, it's going pretty well, but I've got one spot in my throttle that my ski just runs really rough. It's like it's missing on every other stroke or one cylinder isn't firing maybe. I can't say that's not it's typical feel, it...

    Plug Reading 787 GSX

    I can't back my high speeds out anymore, and backing out the low causes it to load. I know it's counter clockwise to enrich the mix, but then I immediately find one guide that says the exact opposite, so maybe I'm wrong? It runs faster than ever this year, and it's a lot smoother at ⅓/30mph, but...

    Plug Reading 787 GSX

    Really? Every tuning guide I've read on here tells you to idle for either 5 or more common the 2 or 3 that get linked here all the time from PWC, GH, etc that say "at least 15 minutes or more"... I finally just adjusted my low speed to run right at like ¼ throttle and accepted that it loads up...

    1¼ Out From What?

    Hey Miki, can you double confirm this again for me? I've been trying to dial mine in all day and getting kind of inconsistent results, so I decided to run them in and back out to start over. I found my MAG was set about ¾ out and looking pretty good, but it struggles a little and seems a little...

    Plug Reading 787 GSX

    Got it perfect. As long as I never want to give it gas. I had to back them out about ⅜ each to get rid of the take off hesitation. But it's running pretty damn good tbh. I guess I'll.... Run a couple more sets and check the plugs at ¼ throttle? Then work up to WOT? Idk, maybe I'll just keep...

    Run 3- MAG side looks perfect to me, PTO still a little wet but noticably less. Adjusted in ⅛ turn, gap set at .022 Gonna lean that one cylinder out another ⅛, one more pull to check, then a ¼ throttle run. If all goes well, on to the high speed adjustments which may be off on one carb up to a...

    Follow up run, 7 min at idle. As you can see, they're still coming out wet. I'm gonna lean it out another ⅛-¼, but I'm a little concerned it's gonna be too lean at ¼-⅓ throttle, which is the next step. It was difficult to get it started. I think the increased gap may be a bit much. Hard to...

    Plug Reading 787 GSX

    My read on this is good on the PTO side, MAG side is rich fouled? Or is that oil fouled? I'm getting light white smoke out the exhaust at idle Oh, forgot, I also closed my gap to .020ish from closer to .023+, so maybe I'm not getting a clean full burn as well...? I can't back my oil pump much...

    Cavitation After Fuel System Work....?

    +1 for stupid theory... I got it to hook up, I don't think it's running full speed but I can break 40-45, haven't pushed for more yet. But any condition that strains that jet seal- hard acceleration, sharp turns, etc- and it breaks free and limits out until I back down and smoothly transition in...

    Cavitation After Fuel System Work....?

    I've been chasing a slight miss all season and the last time I took it out I pulled the seat to find the entire engine shaking, (Misfire on one cylinder) so I just pulled out since it was the end of day anyways. Figured enough was enough, pulled the carbs off and stripped them. Sure enough, both...
