Cooling question

[Gary pope]

I have a 95 speedster that has the 657X motors in her...I have one question, now I know the cooling for the motor goes from the jet pump directly to the exhaust pipe and then enters through the exhaust manifold which in turn goes into the motor, I guess one question is will it hurt the motor if I just put a Y adapter into that and not necessarily reroute the cooling but add a Nother line that goes to the top of the motor right directly to the head, which normally is where you would hook up a garden hose to, just throwing this out there to see what you guys think

If you have the greaseable driveshaft seals... then you can add a hose fitting if you want. Just make sure that you start the engine before turning on the water !!!!!!!!! if you start the water first... you will fill the engines.

Yeah I understand that about having to start the motor on these Sea-Doos first before you turn the water on. Both my motors have crucible fittings on them so all I was really wanting to do was just put a little Y in the hose coming from the jet pump so it can cool the top of the more better is off.

There is no reason to try to change the cooling flow of that engine. As said before if you are overheating you have something wrong.

OK... didn't know he was overheating.

Knowning this... I would pull the heads. I'm guessing you will find the cyl's half full of hardened sand from years of running up on the beach... or running in shallow water.

No, the one motor is brand new. I just thought thought I could put a y adapter in the hose because it runs super cool on the hose.
