i just checked on line, says its instock in a store i'm passing by tomorrow, so gonna try to pick it up then, and yea I have no space for skiis, plus I need to fix what i have

buy two gallons, save the trip in the future you won't have to worry about it for awhile

 

[nammer]

i thought bout that, but I'm gonna go for 1 right now, in case i never get in the water, then i woulda saved myself the trouble of returning the other one,

on another note, just wanted to confirm, this prob needs a carb rebuild kit right?

That would be a yes.
Those screws on the half moon piece in carb are usually stuck.
You may half to drill heads off and hope threaded part comes out easy once half moon is out.

Old Slippery wetsuit. Its still in good condition. Just getting rid of it because I can't find the jetski that used to go with it.

I'm turning into you guys!!! I think I need rehab. Now I have 5 soon to be 4 SeaDoos..

I ended up buying these after all. http://spokane.craigslist.org/boa/3163993921.html

The kicker is, they wrote the description wrong in the ad, and they BOTH RUN!!!

I already sold the big GTX to my employee, so my investment is $500 for the trailer and SP. Not bad for up here. It does need work though. It sounds like the pump bearings are out, and one of the cylinders is low. The mag side is 125,, and the pto is 150. Can I do a hone and rings?

I'm heading on vacation Saturday, so I wont have time to pull the head till I get back. But, I can flip this thing for $1500 by itself..

I need to never look at Craigslist again.

 

[ocod]

good deal mike.

I think everyone at some point just feels comfortable working on their skis that we take chances on salvaging another one.
If we know we are not going to lose money. Sell trailer here, engine there, computer here and everyone happy.
That way we keep older 2 strokes ski running for another 15 years.

damn it, you were right, one is stuck, and starting to get mangled

Went through it and have two other carbs that are stuck.

 

[nammer]

should I just grab a regular drill bit, and slowly drill out the head? or get a screw extractor set?

Drill bit slightly smaller than screw head just enough to pop top of screw off?
Kinda like pop rivet.

 

[nammer]

I'm heading on vacation Saturday,

the sad part is, whenever i go out of town, i always look in the area to see what could be a potential purchase

 

[spx800]

I'd offer him 300.00 and scoop that up. The parts alone resale fore more than that.

 

[nammer]

too many skiis, not enough space

got the screw out thanks to your advice! does it need s stainless screw? regular zinc? galvanized? to replace it

 

[Spimothy Leary]

edit. double post

 

[Matt Braley]

Yep, that is the stuff I shop for every single day. I would gladly pay his price if I could reach it.

 

[El Toro 33809]

thats a pretty sweet deal actually, i wish it was a tad closer, but if its still there sunday i might be taking a ride

I'm close to Tampa. If you want to make the deal, I can go by there. And I should be in Ft. Myers this Wednesday or Thursday.

not sure if it makes a difference to anybody, but it doesn't come with a trailer, not so much for the value of the aftermarket parts, but for ease of transportation
