95 SeaDoo Xp700

[THG]

I recently bought a 95 SeaDoo Xp700 & 97 Yamaha Waveraider 1100. We used them for a week on vacation & had minor starting issues. I changed the plugs on both, which helped. But I’d really like to get some needed Maintenance done on these because they do seem to be in good shape for 25 year old machines. I’ve read a bunch of posts on this site & there seems to be some talented mechanics that post, so if anyone has any suggestions on any maintenance, replacing old parts or hoses I would really appreciate the advise. I’m located in Chicago & starting to realize that finding someone to work on 2 stroke engines is tough, so depending on difficulty I might do some of the work but I don’t really agree with the saying that “everything is on you tube, so you should try it yourself”
Thanks for any suggestions!

It really isn't that bad.
The most important thing is the fuel and oil systems.

If you could post some pictures of the engine compartment and ski that would help us assess the situation.
