Another thing to mention for ARTR's post is the low side of the test. When you rev up to 5500 RPM you should see the voltage jump up into the mid/upper 13Vs to the mid/low 14Vs. If you stay in the 12V range of low 13V range the rectifier is not performing correctly. Most people see low 14V...

Did you bleed it? There is a bleed port at the pump. It is kinda slow going, but that should take out the air. Another thing to do after bleeding it the best you can is take spark plugs out , ground the spark plug wires, hold down the throttle and crank it a little, this will help purge...

Some info needed. Has it been sitting longer than a season? When was the last time the carb was rebuilt? If you recently replaced the gray lines verify your routing and connections. How did you clean the carb? I would do a compression test while your tinkering around. I would also get rid...

I will tell you that no water is probably impossible, there is a bilge system in the ski for the bit of water that does collect in the bottom. That much water isn't bad IMO

Just to cover all bases, your drain pugs were in...right? ;) Question, is the ski running while this is happening? If so, have you done it without it running? The two things I think of doing are putting the ski, while on trailer at a high angle and filling it with water slowly to see if the...

Most of the auto parts stores will "rent" you a tester. Wont cost you anything but time.

Do you have an Academy sports near you? I know they have a synthetic blend there as well. Just don't know if it is duel rated or pure.

This is what I use and I've had no problems. I get it at Academy sports. It is hard finding oil now a days. I think it is about 40 bucks.

Something easy to do is take off the cylinder head and take a look at the pistons and the walls. Send us a pic, we may be able to help. If it is /was binding you should see why. Just make sure you look at the parts manual(free online) and get the parts required to put it back together...

My 98 sat for nine years with no winterization. Went through her and lubed everything before I fired her up, for me it worked out well as far as the engine, I had a few things to fix still...dang Rat. If it is the rattling you are referring too, mine rattles like crazy until she is under...

1996-gsx if you would give us updates as time goes on, especially this summer when I am sure you are going to break everything in :D. Aftermarket MPEMs are notoriously unreliable. As Burt has said the OEM inventory is getting less and less so we are eventually going to have to go aftermarket...

Just curious, did you buy an aftermarket unit or OEM?

I'm not saying your are wrong, but did you meter check the regulator? Most of the aftermarket electronics for our skis are junk, a friendly comment to double check it. If you can get OEM too, OSD is good as well, still verify though. They tend to be much better. As Moayad said grounds are a...

One tip, make sure the gasket(s) between carb and intake are on their correct, they have a tendency to slip and it they are not on right it will leak air and cause running issues, double and triple verify gasket placement prior to full torque.

I can tell you my 98 GTX LTD does but sometimes its very little. I would say get it on the water and ride it or put it in the water on the trailer, run it and see how she does. Also, as a friendly reminder, don't run the ski long on the hose, it doesn't cool other part of the ski. The...

Things I would try, 1. first have the battery load tested to verify it is good. Voltage check is only one thing that needs to be right. 2. I would also test the DESS post and verify it is good 3. Clean the key contact so you know you are getting good contact. 4. Press the start button without...

My bad....the English language is hard...lol

I have used a pressure washer, with the low pressure tip, just don't hit the cab area directly. Mine was really dirty thanks to a rat! 99 % came clean with a couple of scrubbings. I used simple green mostly, does well on stains and heavy soiled areas. I also removed both tanks and yes it...

On the oil I would disagree....mine is blue and API-TC. I use the Lucas brand. The main point is make sure it is API-TC rated.

If you haven't already, get the parts manual for your ski, free online. It gives pictures of where things go and connections, it will answer most of your questions too The gas looks like something that has set for a long time or they added a red oil to it., I wouldn't use it in your ski. The...
