    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    On the no start thing I figured it out. Had the keys crossed up. Didn't realize they were specific to each ski.

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    Also, I looked closer at the fuel lines and the ball valve on the oil line. The fuel line is grey and looks factory (I gather that is not good?). The ball valve is a decent install and is on just the line to the rotary valve. I talked with my friend and he said that it would leak oil into...

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    I am at the lake now and was going to fire these things up and hopefully have time to drop them in before I leave (I.m just getting things ready for a family trip next week). This has got to be the stupidest question ever, I can't figure out how to start them. Put the "key" on, get one beep...

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    At the moment, I am really shooting in the dark. I'll take a better look at it when I have time and see what exactly they did and if I figure out why and hopefully return with knowledge. Thanks for all the info!

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    That's interesting. I'll have to look at it more closely and ask him some specific questions as to why it was installed - leaking oil into the hull or the crank filling with oil. From the parts drawings I see online it looks like there are two oil lines from a fitting at the bottom of the tank...

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    That is good to know, I will definitely check them next chance I get and will run a FullSyn API-TC oil via the injector. An odd thing that I was going to address in another post but might throw it out here. On one of the skis, the mechanic my friend used installed a brass ball valve in the...

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    I did get them down to our lake house but didn't have time to drop them in the water - hope to do that the next trip. What might the fuel line color indicate? I don't recall the fuel line color but will check that next time down. I think pretty much all two stroke engine oil is API-TC (...

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    Will do. When they work well and are reliable oil injectors are nice from the "keep it simple stupid" perspective and with lake beginners using them throwing in as few variables as possible is wise. Thanks again and I will update how they run once I get them on the water.

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    Thanks for the reply and information. I pulled them apart, cleaned and reinstalled them this afternoon. There was some carbon build on the guillotine but not excessive. There was more of an accumulation of thick oil gunk, as if there is too much oil mixing with the gas. I know some brands of...

    1997 GSX Won't Run up top unless release throttle and then full, RAVE?

    I recently purchased 2 '97 GSX (standard) PWC from a friend. Fairly lightly used and well cared for. He was not mechanically inclined and had a local "lake mechanic" maintain them. When you first ride them after not having being ran for a period of time they seem fine down low but won't clean...
