97 GTX rave valve spring missing

[ghostntheshell]

New to me 97 GTX with 230 hours on the clock.

Having some hard start issues (I suspect needles / seat - so OEM rebuild kit is on the way) but that’s another story.

I was was attempting to clean / inspect / service the RAVE valves - when I discovered the previous owner has lost it - and never bothered to replace it.

I sought one online - part # 290 939 136

Appears to be discontinued?

Is there differences in the Rave valve spring over the years?

I need a spring and I want OEM only. Anyone run into this?

when i lost one of mine in the hull i took the second one into bunnings warehouse and matched it up to the ones on the shelf . they were zinc coated and started to corrode a bit but got me going till i found the original

Westside Powersports Seadoo will have OEM. They typically end up in the bottom of the hull.
Don’t go aftermarket or a generic replacement.
