When to replace xp handle bar cover? I have the same problem with the handle bar cover and hand grips, its not sticky its gummy then transfers to anything and everything it touches What are people do to replace them? Will stand handle bar grips work?

water coming in Here is something else to try: Look inside the pump in the back, there should be two siphon tubes this could be the problem if the trim is down past the limit IE broken VTS. There are two pickups just to the left/right of the drive shaft to the pump. Just use some tape or...

I maybe reading this wrong but It sound like you are turning the wrong screws. IE the mixure on each carb to set the idle. There is an idle screw that is next to the throtte cable on the carbs. This is the one screw you should be turning for the idle. Here is a basic set of questions to...

Had a simular problem on a motorcycle.. The bike sat outside for a couple of years before I got it from a neighbor. The carb nuts were rusted that caused the air leak. I used carb cleaner to find the AIR leak. I would use wd40 or foging oil now. I hope you find the problem with poorly...

Thanks for the update. Read backwards in this post, for where to get the Strong magnets.:redface: Maybe you can get your girl friend to get them for you.. I have not needed any glue because there so strong...

The rod that your looking for is inside the vts unit. To take it out do the following: Looking at the pump from behind the ski, you can see one end of the rod. Disconnect 10mm bolts on rod then remove the boot. From the inside: Just take off vts cover then the three bolts from the motor...

If you what to buy a new stand cylinder you can put in a stand piston. The cylinder needs to be bored out to the size of the new pistion that you provide them. Some of the other people on this forum know more about motors than me. My guess is only replace pistons in pairs or you will do the...

It only has two pistons replace both so it is balanced or it will NEVER run right IMHO.. A couple of years ago I bought a pair of bigger pistons for about $200.00 Then sent the piston and cylinder to a machine shop. They punched out to each cylinders for $25.00. The only other cost in...

It sounds like a problem I had last year with my 96xp. Wife picked up this ski for a good price at a local Fire Department yard sale. Ski was sold as is. My first mistake was I used only my jumper battery to try to start it up. It would crank but once in a while it would stop cranking...

VTS warning The earing trick did not fix my current VTS, major bummer.. The motor still works, but when set in the down position, it takes on water via the suction pickups. Solution, Bypass the suctions pickup at pump. Just disconnect both pickups at the pump and loop back to itself...

Thanks, It was way to late last night to keep beating that dead horse. I have 8 springs and will test everyone to get the best pair to start with. What is the leak down test? Is this like a compression test that you spin the motor by hand? Today is a new day, after going for a foil...

Had to set two carbs on one ski this was easy at 17lbs pop off.:hurray: But settting the second ski for a pop off at 30lbs is very slow.:( I had to cut springs and cut springs but still can get the setting 23-43 set. My gauge goes to 30, so this was my target. can't seam to get two...

If the problem happens at idle or sitting, I can help I noticed water coming into the hull from the siphon pickups (two black things next to the pump) If the trim is adjusted up just a little the water stops coming in. Found two problems, 1) missing part the holds the trim unit to the...

Thanks for the suggestion, After looking online at new and DIY tools I figured out that I may have the gauge in one of two tools at home. Radiator pressure tester or a vacuum/pressure gauge. I hope my vacuum gauge does both pos/neg pressure, my guess it will be the most accurate. It has...

Sounds like I need to make a POP off tool and get a rebuild kit from a Seadoo dealer. Do think a pop tool can be had for less than the parts to build? Thanks,

I to have replaced the fuel lines and all filter. One per carb and one main filter under the handle bars. I have tied turning off the gas while we sit and talk, did not help. Thanks in advance

VTS Tool for big black nut When taking the VTS trim unit off there is ONLY one nut holding it to the hull. This nut is black and just behind the rubber boot. I can get it off easy enough but back on is another story. If the pump is off this is no big deal but it your not going to take the...

Starts great cold but Not when hot 94xp After looking at lots of threads can't find the answer to this question. Starts easy when cold and warms up quick. But after running it 45min. stop to talk for some time. The longer you stop the harder it is to start. If it gets cold again it will...

Yea, post your electronic results. I got my ski back together over the weekend and have lots of problems, two out of three gauges don't work, bummer. I still have more electric problems besides the the trim gauge not working. Found a bad gas leak, NOT GOOD, Could be the tank filler neck...

The first pic will show the size of the magnet The second shows the before installing the magnet The last is ... Ask to see the cheapest pair and told the Lady at the store I only need one magnet. She had a damaged pair and gave me a couple extra magnets. Cool. Cheap fix...
