guys i took quick look in the back of the SJ and didnt see a nozzle to flush the ski for fresh water. does it not have one or am i looking in the wrong area......

98 SJ....

It does not have one.

Most add a fitting or back flush through the pi$$ers.

SupetJets don't have an external flush outlet but if you have all those mods on your ski chances are that you might have a quick connect flush hooked up to the engine inside. You can always hook up one if not or reverse flush it using a kit like the one blowsion sells.

You can always run it at full throttle in the driveway while running the hose straight into one of the carbs to flush it.

That works better with salt water, though.

see the red hose. this is where a flush kit goes on an sj. This picture is of my fx1 but the flush is in the same spot on your ski.

You can acutally clean carbon from your motor with water by pouring a little amount at a time down the carb...


I've only seen it done on cars, but I guess you could do it on a 2 stroke?

I would never intentionally put water in a cylinder on a running engine. Too much, and viola! busted motor. water does not compress.

On a side note, if you have ever fixed a motor in a car that had a messed up gasket anywhere near a piston...... it does look pretty neat to see a piston spit polished from the coolant/water intrusion.

[GUMP]

if you want to back flush I'll give you a list of stuff i got

 

[slickchaos]

yes its has a stock head... here engine pic..

 

[Fathom]

Yeah, your best option is to backflush straight through the pisser. I've tried hooking up a flush kit into several different places and it is always lacking good flushing somewhere.

 

[feartheride]

does someone sell something to hook up to a pisser to backflush

What's that yellow hose with a T-Fitting at the rear of your carbs for? :biggrin:
