    Handlebar grips

    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...

    DIY oil line checker/alarm?

    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...

    94 XP crank seals?

    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...

    94 XP idles but won't rev (pt 2)

    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...

    GTX LTD bad compression

    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...

    Part number for oil tank grommet 1994

    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...

    Needle Seat stuck in carb body

    I'm trying to rebuild my carbs, so I have a new needle and seat set from OSD that is the correct set. However, I just cannot remove the old seat from the carb body. As you can see I've basically destroyed it trying to get it out, and it won't budge. I've tried: - heating it with a heat gun to...

    94 XP idles but won't rev

    Just got a '94 XP for a decent price, but it has some issues. Engine will start right up no problem and idle for about a second or two. During that second or two if you even think about touching the throttle it will instantly die, won't even try to rev up. Previous owner said he has done the...

    Re-installing oil injection

    So I got a great deal on a '94 XP with some issues. The previous owner took out the oil pump and converted to pre-mix (no idea if it was done "correctly" or not). I would really like to put the oil injection system back in, and he gave me a box that supposedly has all the original parts that he...

    A look at the INSIDE of that black plastic 951 airbox

    Ever wonder what a 951 airbox looks like on the INSIDE? Me too, so I rented a bore scope to get a look at it. I got this one off '99 GTX LTD junkyard ski that had been sitting for who knows how long, so I was also searching for bug nests or other things that could restrict airflow. The 951...

    Is my bendix toast?

    so the starter on my 97 SPX is having some issues, and I suspect the bendix. When I hit the start button it sometimes engages and starts the engine, but usually just makes a whirring noise and doesn't crank the engine. My guess was that the whirring noise was the starter motor spinning but not...

    Brand new engine failure

    So I'm warrenty-ing my brand new SBT engine (951 carb'd) that failed only 2 or 3 rides after I finished the engine break-in procedure. It began to stall randomly, and then would not start at all. Compression had dropped in the mag cylinder to around 50psi, pto cylinder was fine at around 130psi...

    99 GTXL not idling, backfiring

    I've got a 99 GTX Limited with a brand new SBT engine that will not idle, cannot reach max RPM, and is backfiring out the exhaust. After installing the new engine, I did the break-in procedure painstakingly correctly (followed SBT's break-in procedures EXACTLY). It worked totally fine for the...

    99 GTX LTD rollover, down on power

    So I rolled my 99 GTX LTD last weekend, and it's been giving me troubles ever since. Made sure to flip it back over the correct way according to the sticker on the back, and once we got all the water drained out of the hull and engine (pulled spark plugs, shot water out of cylinders, put in new...

    97 SP Steering Nozzle on 97 SPX

    There's a guy parting out a 97 SP, does anyone know if the steering nozzle from the 97 SP will fit on my 97 SPX? SeaDooPartsWarehouse uses the exact same diagram for both skis, but it looks like they might have different part numbers.

    Battery for a 99 GTX LTD

    So I just got a new battery for my SPX and it looks like I'll also need one for the GTX now too. For the SPX I got the Odyssey PC625 battery, which has been spoken highly of in many places on the internet, this forum included. I also really like the side mounted 10mm bolts instead of the top...

    Water ingestion on first ride after rebuild - what now?

    So after finishing my rebuild I went to go out on the very first ride to start the break-in. Not even 10 minutes into the ride it starts sinking, water got up to the air intake and obviously the engine stalled out. As soon as I got it out of the water and drained, I pulled the spark plugs and...

    Battery mounting issues

    So the season is fast approaching and I'm hopefully finishing up my 97 SPX project this week. Yesterday I went to go start the 99 GTX LTD and was reminded of an annoying problem I've had with both skis since owning them. The new style AGM batteries that they have do not fit in the original...

    Rebuild - next steps

    So I'm finished assembling my 787 engine for my 97 SPX on the bench, and I believe the next thing for me to do is to put it back in the hull and align it. I have some questions as to what to do after that. After I get it aligned and all the hoses and everything hooked back up, am I good to...

    Going through crankcase - questions

    So I'm taking apart the engine down to the crank, as recommended on this forum after my RAVE valves and pistons blew apart and got chunks of metal all in there. I have a few questions now that I'm in the process of actually taking it apart. 1. Will I need new outer crank seals? I'm thinking...
