Used to own a couple of 650's, still have a small assortment of parts (skat props, new gasket kits, top -ends, nuts-bolts, starters and flywheels) is there much of a market left since Kawi moved on up thru the 750 to the 800? Was going through the garage and need to get rid of the stuff one way...

Last Wednesday a friend from the mainland, VA, came to visit and we planned to do a lot of riding and reminisce about our riding/racing days. Prior to his arrival I went through the boats eye-balling for loose bolts, broken motor mounts, new plugs, compression checks etc etc. All good. So...

Both suggestions were on my own list of possibilities. Question: Will a solenoid from a 93' SQN SJ E/box be direct replacement? I have both a starter and an E/Box lying around.

"What we have here is a failure to..." turn over with the every push of the Start button. Boat: 93 Blaster, second owner on my third year of ownership. Symptom: 1) Sometimes pushing "start" yields nothing (not even a sound) but then re-pushing it would get it to turn over. 2) Sometimes when...

All excellent tips above. I bought a 93 second/third hand and though it's minor sounding, my first rides were plagued by the loose inlet/outlets on the water box that leaked exhaust fumes into the engine compartment. Not enough of a problem to not buy the boat but worthy of a spot check and...

I ride 100% surf. My easy non-motor mods were: 1) Stock Ride Plate - DIY "D" cut. 2) Intake grate (a single vein style with the shovel like a JD or the Riva) found on Ebay. 3) Bilge(s) and handlebar mounted switch. 4) M/X bars and locking grips. 5) The turning nozzle pivot relocation...

Unless I'm way off base the water fitting in the picture (which is connected to the blue hose) is the Entry point for the water coming in to the engine from the outside, it's entering the exhaust manifold which means the other end of this hose connects to a fitting in the Bulkhead. This is how...

I can relate to all of your symptoms. I ride in the salt 100% and it will play havoc on your electrics. I've had the intermittent power problems on different boats throughout the years and these are some of the things to check. Plus a Blaster that I picked up last year had three electrical...

It's been a while since I owned a JS 650 but I think the 89 had the little 28 Keihin AND it had a separate fuel pump mounted on the bond beam rail. The holes in that cover are meant to be as they are...no attachments, I believe they allow the atmosphere to equalize. The rusted screws probably...

Beside Kawasaki Dealers, does anyone know where to get these or how to manufacture/purchase a subsitute? On stock JS 650's it held the pipe to the manifold. The Kawasaki Jetski Part numbers are 92160 and 92160 A.

Aloha, I too have '93 Blaster, on my second year with it. It came to me with a Coffman Rocket Pipe, stock ride plate and intake grate, dual 44's/Proks, beat up Skat 14-17, chipped veins in the pump and Renthal MX bars and ODI Ruffian Grips. For additional power: Exhaust System: The...

Have I been out of the loop for so long that rubber O-rings for cylinder heads have been replaced by copper wire? I want to try out a used aftermarket head (1 piece single unit) that's cut for O-rings around the domes but has copper wire in the grooves. I got the copper out and its like a...

Aloha, Had the same problem. Just received a new Punp Shoe from XR-Tech. Go to: www.Xr-tech.com and click on the Pro Shop. Easy to do, uses Paypal, excellent shipping and fast.

Thanks to all of you for the advice. After searching OEM parts finders to cross reference the waterboxes of the various ski's I'm getting a box from a '97 XL 760 along with the connecting hoses. Plan on mocking up the plumbing possibilities to also include the use of a B pipe that I picked...

Thanks for all the advice guys, I like the idea of moving the noise to the rear with the w/b. Need to sign up at PWC Today and look at the article & pics. Does anyone know if a w/b off a 98 WR 800 GP ltd. is similar to the GP760 w/b? I have the 98 WR and can pull it out to set up the...
