carb

So I bought a couple of seadoos 2 yrs. ago. Last summer my mother (crazy) in law wanted me to leave them at the cabin to play on, stupid me I did. The next day they brought them home to me and told me, " I got to the middle of the lake and it flipped over on me, I couldn't get it flipped back...

Your awesome advice to get my 96 GTX running again got me motivated (bad rectifier causing it to bog down - for the last 5 years). I even used prior posts to fix my LCD InfoCenter (I can now see the gas level) and replace the buzzer with a unit from Floyd Bell. It's a blast having a working...

My first jet ski - Just bought a used GTX Ltd. 74 hrs total, 1-owner. Starts well. When sitting at idle you can hear an engine tick or flutter kind of sound. When running wide open, only get 35-37 mph. 1st time out this year. Any ideas on flutter sound? Looks like fuel lines are gray...

I was breaking in my '97 xp and it starts bad while cold because of the oil mixed with the gas im guessing. I premixed the first tank. It idles well as soon as its warmed up. The idle is a bit high (cause the speed is about 5-6 miles an hour) but ill turn that down. I dont know what the rpm is...

Hi All, I posted this in the 2 stroke boat section without a reply, but this would apply to Ski riders too, so thought I'd post here too. Recently got the 96 Challenger out for it's first start up after a couple of months to get ready for Summer (Australia). Did the normal prep. Boat was...

Hi All, Recently got the 96 Challenger out for it's first start up after a couple of months to get ready for Summer (Australia). Did the normal prep. Boat was stuck on full throttle, diagnosed the issue as a seized throttle shaft. I'm since removed the carb, fixed the issue and reinstalled...

I have a 1990 Seadoo SP with the following problem. When I go to crank it the motor floods with fuel. And when I say flood, I mean it goes into the exhaust, and spurts out of the plug holes if they are not in tight. I took off the carb, which is a Mikuni BN-38 round body, and there was literally...

Hi Guys, I'm going insane. I have a 1996 Seadoo Challenger with Rotax 787 dual carb. After pulling it out from winter I've found that when starting it up the boat was stuck at WOT. After pulling apart the throttle assembly, found nothing wrong with the cable. I've since decided...

Title says it all, I was doing my first ever carb rebuild following qstorms guide and I stripped one of the regulator block screws and the other one is really rusted. No idea where to go from here. Should I use PB blaster on the rusted screw? What should I do to remove the stripped screw without...

This is all very new to me and I'm a Rookie so please be kind. I just picked up a 1994 Seadoo XP that had been sitting in a garage since 2006. The guy said he doesn’t think it was winterized before it was stored so I can only imagine what’s wrong with it. When I picked it up it we couldn’t even...

I have a '97 Challenger 1800 with a problem in the starboard carb linkage. I though I had a faulty throttle cable at first, but then tried to move it with my hand and it took a LOT of force. It is very hard to move. The port engine is really smooth and easy to move by hand. I'm not sure what...

Ok, I'm also suffering from the old grey fuel lines. Thus far, I have changed out the fuel line, cleaned out the fuel selector valve, removed the old gas and cleaned out the tank, etc. This was enough to build up my confidence, so now I am going to go for the Carbs. I have a 1996 GSX...

Last season I blew the drvier side engine so I replaced the pistons, installed a carb rebuild kit, and cleaned and installed a RAVE rebuild kit. All parts were bought from SBT. I took it out last year when it was complete and it ran fine. I didn't winterize the boat this year...I know really...

Hey everyone! I bought a 2002 XP last week that runs fine once it is started, but is very difficult to start. It took me about 30 minutes and 1-1/2 batteries to get it to start cold. After it starts for the first time it easily restarts and runs fine. I got it fairly cheap and figured that...

Hi everyone, I have tries to find info on going premix on my 2000 challenger 2000 I just bought. Low hours on rebuilt merc m2 jetdrive 210hp carved. Oil injection works at this time. What is best method to convert to premix on this engine? Does the oil pump deliver oil to the engine...

I just bought a 94 XP from a guy that eliminated the oil/gas mix, and has it set up to physically mix the oil and gas. I have heard that this is a good idea due to the fact of the oil pump going out and not letting the correct amount of oil into the carbs. My question is why do I have a...

I just traded for a 93 SeaDoo XP that supposedly has "bad" carbs due to deteriorated fuel lines? Is this usually just a carb cleaning/rebuild or will it require more? I may have found a set of good carbs. Does the 1993 XP use the same carbs as the 1994 XP?

i have a 1989 seadoo thats been in storage for 5 years. I have changed Spark Plugs, Oil, gas and it started right up it sits idle for a few seconds and then goes straight to full throttle. then when you apply gas it almost kills the engine. doo you think its the carb or is it something wrong...

Hey just another newbie who needs help I just purchased a factory pipe for my 96 hx 720 - I have stock carbs, with 130 mains and 75 pto jets, 1-1/2 needle and seat w/ 65 gram springs. The only after market parts are a Skat-Trak impeller - unsure of pitch and intake grate. I have ordered a...
