Need a couple parts for this, sooo [MENTION=29781]Spimothy Leary[/MENTION] [MENTION=51824]Matt Braley[/MENTION] and [MENTION=41828]Minnetonka4me[/MENTION] I need an oil cable and the throttle cable bracket for the mag side carb. Figured I would ask you fellas before I look on ebay.

 

[Spimothy Leary]

I don't have any of those, sorry

I'll get the controller in the mail first thing in the morning.

So how's the engine looking? I can see some faint score marks probably from when it blew up last time. Is that tub and tile caulking that they used as sealant? Lol

 

[Jetskigoodies]

The pistons and rings are new, the cylinders look like they were just honed but it looks ok. With the sealant it looks like yamabond or something of that nature. The head gasket was definately reused but the exhaust and carb gaskets looked new with the sealant added.

Glad to see this project in the right hands, another example of how terrible messes happen. Good thing it never made it to the water, hope not too much else is completely wrong.

I'm curious to know more about the paint job, the inspiration and story behind it and all.

 

[Minnetonka4me]

I should be able to dig those parts up....throw me a PM.

 

[96spxpos]

Oh- My - GAwwdd!
That literally DOES look like either shower caulk OR Colgate toothpaste..
to be honest, I am NOT familiar with that motor, but the FIRST thing I noticed was the toothpaste protruding out of the mag housing.

 

[96spxpos]

oh

by the way, I found the inspiration behind the paintjob that Spim was looking for

 

[AdamXP800]

Your ski is in good hands. Are you going to clean that bilge up nice JSG?

We cleaned up the inside today

Remember it started out like this

The entire hull looked like this.

 

[Jetskigoodies]

We are waiting on the gaskets and then we will pull apart the motor and reassemble it correctly and then finish the install.

 

[jammin777]

looks like new! the op will be very happy when he gets it back.

 

[Davidgsx]

Wow, what did you use to clean it? Looks awesome!!

[Jetskigoodies]

Degreaser, powerwash with hot water, scrub brushes, scotchbrite pads, and some elbow grease

 

[Sportster-2001-951C-Stock]

Anybody got a part number on that permatex synthetic elbow grease?

 

[Jetskigoodies]

Got you covered

Part Number 1027

Real product and real part number, it is just not for what you would think.

 

[Seadoobuddy]

hot water with a power washer???.....I think I have a sticker on mine not to use hot water.

Looks great.....

 

[Jetskigoodies]

Lol, we have had this discussion before. Just be prepared to replace seals quicker than usual. My Old boss owned a couple car washes. Hot water is needed in the winter or all the lines will freeze. I have used the same powerwash for the last 4 years with super hot water running through it. The seals will swell and shrink and will need to be replaced. We are still running on the original seals.

 

[Jetskigoodies]

Also I do not run hot water through it for long periods of time. Only like 15 minutes at a time plus it is only 40 degrees out. Cold water is needed to cool the pump. I am not recommending running hot water through your pump. We are willing to and know what could happen. We are actually thinking of changing out our seals now.

They do however make hot water power washers with burners. They are more expensive though.

 

[Sportster-2001-951C-Stock]

Ha, "hot" water by the time it makes it all through my hose was warm at best.. Could be, my hot water wasn't really very hot to begin with?!?!?!

I've used those kerosene fired pressure steam cleaners before, those are nice and now I want one for Christmas.

I have to note, that bilge no longer looks as though it's been vandalized.

 

[Jetskigoodies]

Well today we tore the motor down and found a couple issues.

Took the studs out to remove the jugs

Just put 2 nuts on the stud and tighten them together.

Then put the wrench on the lower nut and loosen the stud.

After we pulled all the studs we pulled off the jugs and there was more of the bath tub caulk lol. The base gasket looks to have been reused. There was silicone holding the gasket together where it had ripped before.

New wsm pistons

This is a big problem, it would not have ran had we just hooked everything up. The pickup was covered in the same goop that is all over everything.

This stuff was even on the cup.......

There was not a seal on the mag cover, just globs of sealant

The bendix is missing the bracket to hold it in place. Another major issue.

 

[Jetskigoodies]

Popped off the flywheel

New seal but the housing is filthy

Cases were nasty as well

Mostly cleaned up

We will hit a few spots again and then reassemble. Tomorrow I am wire wheeling all the bolts and running a tap through all the holes.

The outsides of the cases turned out nice too, just forgot pics.

Here is a crap load of sealant and old gaskets that should have never have been reused. Even the orings from the studs were reused.

The counterbalancer and crank look good. I will get some pictures up next time I hit the shop.

That is utterly disgusting. Talk about a grenade just waiting to explode. Great work JSG!
