whats up with the drive shaft alignment. if it doesn't wobble or vibrate, its fine right ?
How tight should the pto flywheel be tightened? just until it stops? there arent any torque specs in manual.

PTO is 81 FT# It's all the way at the end of the manual, They list all the torque ratings for the engine. Just look at the XP a 787 is a 787, doesn't matter if it's a GTX or not.

Don't forget the orange O-ring before you put the pto on.


Engine alignment, I use the SBT kit. @Coastie Joe rents one he bought to forum members or look on your local craigslist and perhaps you could buy one.

That's as far as I'm getting into the engine alignment, other members have their own devices. I bought my alignment tool close to 10 years ago probably. I know it works perfectly, if you were local you could borrow it for free.

runs like a champ , to the lake thurs to see what happens. Thank you to all that helped. now we dont have to ride 3 up at the outerbanks!

 

[NIL8er]

i did put the counterbalance access port . there is some debate as to whether its necessary or not. my take is that if it wasnt necessary it wouldnt have been added to later models . any other opinions yea or nay on this ?

HELP ran for 5 min on water then wouldnt start again, seems like no gas to motor. gas comming out of carbs in excess also. gas oil coming out of over flow port in in rear of hull in excessive amounts

 

[CReynoldsMIZ]

over flow port??? coming out of the carbs? where?

 

[NIL8er]

over flow port??? coming out of the carbs? where?

coming out of carbs near main feed . i think its bc it wont start and is getting flooded from all the starting attempts. there is a line from carb that goes to the rear of the hull and is coming from there in excess , which i imagine is the over flow.

 

[NIL8er]

the timing is probably off?? this can happen with a new crank?? i think im reading it can. Ill have to get the mpem set???

 

[Mekanix]

The mpem can set the timing up to a few degrews but wont cause this.

Wth?
Line that goes from carb to rear hull ???

Both lines from the carbs go to the tank!
The other line is a return and not an overflow!
Check your lines compared to the diagram again. Something seems to be really crossed.

And if I read that right it sounds like you have the tell tale line crossed with the carb return line. In that case the gas tank is likely full of water

 

[NIL8er]

turns out rotary valve is not timed correctly.

Oh, Cool. Good find!

But what did you mean by the line going from the carb to the rear of the hull ?

 

[AdamXP800]

Say whaaaaaa? Over flow line that runs from carb to rear of hull????? What's it do, dump excess fuel into the lake???? Lol

You need to recheck your fuel lines sir

Keep the 2 strokes alive!

 

[AdamXP800]

And I pray you don't have the pisser and return line mixed up

yup... thats exactly what i did...good thing it wouldnt run, gas to the lake and water to the carbs...hugh f up...(glad i put in filler port to block at the counter balance pto end) and sucked water oil from bottom end through the rotary holes and added fresh oil to bottom end. i think i saved it..runs really well now was lubed up really well prior to first start up. hopefully no residual issues from being flooded with water for a couple of hours

 

[AdamXP800]

I'm glad you saved it! Now go enjoy it!
