Terrible. If you have a black rave solenoid on there you have to replace it and don't waste time trying to troubleshoot.

To go a bit further on this, I'm not sure why they don't work the same. Perhaps the internal port routing are different. I mean all it does is open and close ?? I think some experimentation would benefit. :D I have 2 or 3 spare black ones but only one spare green one. I caution EVERYONE to...

Absolutely. the black one doesn't work the same. I tried the same thing as the green one was $100 used at the time and black ones were cheap. :)

If you're getting 107 psi and it is steady that is all you're going to get. I'd bring it to the water hole and see how it works. :D Might want to replace the oring on the fuel pump side of the rail if you didn't. Some other things to consider is... age of fuel, fuel filter replacement...

Check for air leaks. Block of the line and see how much the pressure rises. You need 107. I connected a air hose to the fuel rail and pressured the system. The engine ran fine. Good Luck !!

Depends on the pressure you're seeing. Did you check the o-rings on the fuel rail? Leaks on the line going into the rave solenoid? Are you getting 27 psi at key on? Just looking, difficult to tell if that is your problem. The ski will start without the compressor working properly but it...

The Tygon I bought wasn't true Tygon tubing and it deteriorated so the compressor wasn't getting oil from the injector pump. Lucky for me it was the only line that fell apart. I spent a long long time getting it spotless inside. I always check the lines before I install them but from this...

Remove the jet pump and flywheel. No other way to remove the cover with the flywheel in place.

Try a Dremel with a cut-off blade and make a slot for a conventional screw driver. The fact that it broke off isn't good. Must be corroded in there. Maybe drill it and install a Helicoil. Very tedious job. The make left handed drill bits. Nothing guaranteed.. Good Luck with it. I have...

They were just a bit more than rebuilt at the time and I could get one in 4 days with no core. :D I have two brand new WSMs for 717s waiting to be built. I restored the skis and sold them so I can't say how long they last. I liked them.

Freakin SHOW OFF !!! :D :D Looks Great !!

Not gonna do any good to install a valve if you do not know where the leak source and location.

Do you have the cover to the mag removed and if so and the lip seal is leaking you'd see oil "inside" the mag housing. If you have a bad oil leak past the seals internally, the engine will lock up. I never worry about excess smoke. After sitting for 6- 8 months my wife's ski will fog the...

If the inner seals are leaking only then you should NOT see oil on the outside of the engine. Check your oil lines. You could have a leak by the fittings. If your oil pump is connected but not installed on the engine, your pump could have a leak because the bleed screw is not properly...

I paint mine the same color so that doesn't happen. :D LOL

I'm curious, what is the significance in the engine color?

GREAT !!! Glad it started for you !! For the tattle tale at the back of the ski. Water should shoot out pretty good because you're under hose pressure. You might have a plugged fitting at the pipe connection or the hose. I use a air hose with about 40 psi. and check all the hoses and...

Check the pins in the plug on the front of the mag. Verify your ground is good there. Check your ground on the plug that goes to the coil. It is the single black wire. I mentioned this on the other thread but check all the plugs on the MPEM. They get corroded and oxidize. Power in are the...

My two colors are "running" and "not running." :D :D

I write some stuff up later. I fought the RFIs extensively. They can be confusing. Great skis though.
