water

my 2000 seadoo xp is leaking from the rear somewhere. any suggestions?

I got a seadoo from my father inlaw when he passed. It just made a clunk when I tried to start it. I have never worked on engines or owned a seadoo. So I took manifold off, took out starter, cleaned all connections, got water out of engin, put oil in sparkplug holes, ex. I finaly got it to fire...

Today before launching our Jetski we forgot to plug the holes at the rear of the craft that lead into the engine. After about 20 minutes it died in the middle of riding, and when we got back the engine compartment was flodded. Now after we emptied about 90% of the water the engine still won't...

I have been working on a 2000 GTX RFI and all is well, but there is moister/water in the speedometer. is there any way to take the cover off and possibly clean it or should I just replace the while speedometer and go on? Thanks Chris

Hi everyone, A few weeks ago I ran my tank very close to empty. After refueling and taking the boat out a different day, there were some issues with it beeping if I idled for any length of time, and a studder / hesitation when raising the throttle just above idle. The problem slowly got...

Okay, I have done a lot of work on this boat today so I will be as concise as possible. Here is what I have done: rebuilt carbs, replaced all fuel lines, added an inline filter, rebuilt pump (new wear ring, impeller, bearings, thrust bearing/washer, seals), rebuilt drive shaft (carbon ring...

Ok, so heres the deal, please help me troubleshoot this..as the nearest seadoo service center is 2 hours away. Yesterday, I took my 93 GTS out to the lake with the kids and launched it with the drain plug out. We rode it for about 20 min and then idled for a couple when we realized the boat...

I just bought my 1995 speedster this summer (my first boat) and was able to get it out on the water twice. I'm not familiar with how to describe certain areas/parts of the boat but here's what I have. On my first trip out, I went to the center floor storage compartment to get ropes to tie...

I have a 2000 GTX Millennium Edition (Model #5545) with Rotax 947 (carburetors). In June, my son left the drain plugs out and flooded the compartment which stalled the engine. We immediately put it on the lift, drained the compartment, pulled the plugs and turned it over a couple times. Did...

The Problem: I purchased a 1990 SeaDoo SP - There were several issues that needed to be corrected just to get it to start. Now that its running it seems to only run while on the trailer, and Stalls when placed in the water. Work Performed: The fuel tank was removed and flushed out, the...

Hello all. Long time reader, but first time poster here. I have an emergency situation and would appreciate any and all input! We took our '98 Speedster to the lake for the weekend and had a blast. We decided to leave it tied up at the dock overnight, the first time ever, instead of...

I have a 2002 Utopia 205. It has the Mercury 240 EFI. The last two times I took it out, after we stopped in the lake, it would not start. After a while it finally would though. The last time I took it out, I docked it and left it running, backed the trailer in, and when I was talking back...

The ski will start everytime out of the water, and in the water the first time, but after I ride it I cannot restart in the water, I pull it out of the water and it fired right up: Checked compression 150 good Checked spark, OUCH!!! good Checked fuel, plugs seamed wet when cold and dry...

OK I have done everything as suggested. The first time it happened I blew out the cylinders of water threw the plugs back in and vrooooom off it went for a week or so like a charm. Note it has always been hard starting but dealer cleaned the carbs this spring and was a bit better. Then I...

First time posting on here. Hope I'm not asking a repeat (stupid) question but I didn't see anyone had asked yet. I just picked up a '05 GTX last week and took it out for a couple gentle runs this weekend (still apprehensive after my first jet ski experience with an HX a few years back) and...

Hello there please help, I just bought my first seadoo last week, it worked fine for about 2 hours, fell a few times and got on, no problem. The last time I fell I had a VERY hard time, but got on and it would not even turn over then it just tipped over while I was just sitting on it. Well...

I recently bought a used 99 XP Limited. Upon first ride the PWC is taking on water rather quickly. I checked for any hull leaks and that is not the problem, no water enters the hull when PWC is off and sitting in water. The PWC is taking on water rather quickly at idle and speed. The exhaust...

Hey guys, My water pressure regulator valve was leaking so I pulled it off the resonator to clean it. I unscrewed the needle from the bottom of it. I know the adjustment of the valve is critical. How do I know how far to screw in the needle? The service manual doesn't state it...

Hi, I recently rebuilt my carbs on my 96 challenger. I set all adjustment to factory specs. The boat always starts right up out of the water and at first launch. However, after I've driven in for a bit at various speeds and shut of the engine to float or anchor, it consistantly is hard to...

1996 challenger trial run observations Hi, I took our recently purchased challenger out for a test run finally today. Ran pretty good overall. I did a couple of spin outs, but nothing excessive. When I pulled the boat out, there was a small (10"L) shallow water puddle in the bilge between...
