New to Jet Skis-bought 95 gtx not running

[woodenbote]

I just bought a 95 gtx, not running, has been sitting for a while.

Was told by seller that engine had good compression but wasn't firing.

I downloaded operator & shop manuals available on this site but they make no mention of gtx or 95 year model.

Are 95 & 96 identical? Is gtx similar to one of the other models that are listed?

Number on rear deck is 5863.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Sorry...!

Sorry for the inconveince on the shop manual. No, you can't use the 96 manual for the GTX, they went with a bigger engine that year. But the 1996 Explorer has the same 657 cc that you have. So for the moment, you can use the Explorer shop manual for engine issues and the 96 model shop manual for hull issues. I say hull, which includes pump, etc.....the electrical layout will be different. If you have an electrical issue, the basics on the Explorer should be the same..........
Again, sorry for the inconveince. I will do a bit more research in trying to line you up with anything you may need to continue your work.
