now if i dident break both my arms and could test ride it...ohh the irony

it worked!!!! i havent taken it to the water yet but it dident backfire :) i think the two pulser wires were touching them selfs...so stoked to see the 550 alive again..at least i wont run into this problem again hope this helps someone else out there..

im going to re wire the whole stator back because it is a 20 plus year old machine see where that gets me then try to figure out how to use a timing light on it.. i dont know how to control the revs like it says to time it but we will see...

did you ever figure out what it was cuz mines doing the same thing... the things i did to try fixing it was changed the spark plugs and cut back wiries then i looked into timing took off the stator cover and noticed oil so i changed the crank seals and why i was in there did a top end and put...

ive been able to fix every outher ski that ive come in contact with but not this one... so mad i cant figure it out... im about to just throw it in a fire pit lol

im stiil lost on this ski...a new year and i still cant get this thing running... so stumped just bought a carb rebuild kit just for the hell of it and still no diference...it olnt back fires when revved up?? and back fires thru carb?? whats up with this rev box thing im thinking of overrideing...

could it be a twisted crank??? one i havent thought of....does any one know how i could check that??

prob a sheared flywheel key...

the wires are on the right plugs and ive been through the whole stator...i have the timing marks lined up but it still backfires...thanks for the input tho...

how does the rev limiter work???..would that have anything to do with it??

hi i have a 1990 550sx that is a piston port motor ..it keeps backfiring through the carb and even a flame shoots down the pulser line...i figured it was timing related and pulled the flywheel off and the keyway was good but i noticed oil in the cover so i replaced the crank seals and thought it...
