Looking to get some new handlebar grips for both skis (97 SPX and 97 GTS) - I'm liking the look of the ODI Rogue from OSD. It is my understanding that I will need bar extenders and the OSD kits come with the appropriate extenders. However, there's a few "types" of kits listed on OSD and I'm not...

I have actually tried disconnecting the red wire since posting this originally. No luck. That crank theory is interesting though. If I were to put a long screwdriver in each plug hole, I should see one reach the bottom at the same time as the other reaches the top, yes? And if that's not the...

I had good luck making a DIY one as proposed by another member here. Crazy that the official tool costs so much considering what it is

the one that detached was only like a year or two old, and the zip-tie was still on it when i found that it had come off. I definitely used cheap walmart zip-ties. I just ordered a pack of the ones you mentioned and im definitely going to switch all of them now before this happens again. Are...

Turns out one of the small oil lines that runs from the oil pump to the intake detached itself at the oil pump. Very frustrating that something so simple destroyed my brand new $1500 engine - and I guess it wasn't SBT's fault after all

Just killed my second brand new engine on my 99 GTX (other thread about it here) and finally found out what went wrong - one of the tiny oil lines going from the oil pump to the intake detached itself at the oil pump, depriving that side of the engine of oil. I'm selling this ski because I'm...

found a leak in my test setup. pumped it up to 8psi and now it only loses 0.2psi over the course of 3 minutes. I'm going to guess that's not enough leakage to see the issue that I'm seeing. I'm just completely lost now, I don't know where to go from here. I've tried everything I can think of and...

OK so I've tried just about everything I can think of to get this 94 XP running. I have other threads on it here and here if you want more background information. Basically, it will start and idle but any throttle will kill it. I did an engine pressure test - blocked off intake and exhaust...

So I had another thread about this issue here 94 XP idles but won't rev but I kind of got derailed talking about ultrasonic cleaners.... So to recap - its a new-to-me 94 XP, it will start and idle, but give it any throttle and it will die immediately. While its idling it is shaking a bit more...

Yeah unfortunately this engine is the result of warranty-ing the previous SBT engine that failed, and the warranty is now expired. I will never go SBT again, I'm doing my own rebuilds from now on, the 787 I rebuild 4 years ago is still going strong. I put this ski up for sale as soon as it...

it seems weird to me that it would be a fuel issue - I just had the carbs rebuilt by a mechanic I trust (he used the correct genuine Mikuni parts, even refused to do the job without them) and the engine itself is brand new from SBT last season. Plus the issue started very suddenly, it was on the...

correct, its a 951 carb ski (99 GTX LTD)

150psi is the target for a "healthy" engine, no?

I checked compression a few time, since I didn't want to believe what it was telling me lol. Even verified my compression gauge reads correctly on my other ski which I know has good compression. Would a bad RAVE solenoid cause bad compression? I replaced it a while ago, but I couldn't find the...

I have a 99 GTX LTD that was running OK until it all of a sudden stalled. Now it will barely start, and will only run for like half a second before stalling again, and it sounds like there's some kind of rattling happening. Compression is 120 in front and 150 in back, so obviously that's a...

Thanks! I swear I checked SBT, idk why I couldn't find this page before but I've bookmarked it now

For some reason I can't seem to find the part number(s) for the oil tank grommets for my 94 XP. Sea-Doo Warehouse and even BRP's own website don't seem to have parts/diagrams for models older than 1996, and the shop manual has the diagrams but not part numbers. My grommets are leaking and at $10...

My experience with the ultrasonic was similar - it does a good job of cleaning the big pieces and little indents and details, but the actual passages still needed to be cleaned out with carb cleaner. I used simple green and 100F water.

Yeah mine were surprisingly clean even before I put them through the ultrasonic. That one from your pic on the other hand.... I don't even know if that's save-able lol, those look pretty rough. Did that ski sink in saltwater or something?

It appeared to be a combination of of a bunch of things. The o-rings were destroyed by the time I got them out, so they were probably swollen. There was definitely some corrosion in there, so that wasn't helping. Also, it looks like whoever rebuilt these carbs before me used a cheap aftermarket...
