Now im working on rebuilding a whitepiped 99 motor and trying to...

    1999 Sea Doo GTX RFI - Where can I get a @!*# Starter that FITS?!

    From what I can tell, it looks like on the table you have a nine tooth starter, I mention this because there is a nine and an eight tooth version for different 1999 GTX models. After you verify the correct hardware for your RFI 1999 set up, I suggest checking out the listings in the link I...

    Do you have any knowledge about why 98 gsxl routes to the head-pipe then cylinders and the 99 routes cylinders then headpipe? Im reading a lot of speculation regarding shocking cylinders with cold water first versus warm water from the headpipe jackets. running a hotter tuned pipe for...

    Cooling System Tuning, quest for knowledge. (not hard-jetting)

    I have rebuilt a GSXL (5629) and a (5845) snd i was wondering if anyone knew the effects of routing one of them like a 1997.5 GSXL (5625) would produce altered (beneficial) performance. Wether that means reliability or stabilized hole-shot cooling for B/stinger and so on… This idea would be...

    787cc melting rave pistions

    Definitely looks like you have the incorrect rave assembly, maybe try looking up the part numbers and searching them up that way. There are free pdf files for manuals online if needed! Good eye, Poorman! Tell us what you find out, as well. Cheers

    White smoke and gray oily substance, excessive oil consumption

    Diagnosing my no-spark runaway 951

    I have taken your words to heart so many times before but i was a dummy and had bought the parts to do “Ben’s Mods” three years ago and just so happens i didnt want to buy and wrestle that damn box off. (Again) Lesson learned! Would you happen to have a spare black box sitting around? Think...

    Diagnosing my no-spark runaway 951

    Im on it, gonna go through all of my vacuum and carb stuff and poke around elsewhere if necessary. Im wondering how the engine was drawing enough air to run over 7k with the throttle shut and didnt slow down after i backed the idle screw off to close carbs. That was a wild experience, especially...

    Diagnosing my no-spark runaway 951

    Here is everything i can think to share about the build and event conditions: EVENT 1. After idling under load for tuning purposes, i took the ski (98 GSXL) home to flush. Experienced a high 4500 rpm idle on the trailer so i backed off the idle screw. ~3000 rpm 2. Idled on the hose to flush...
