Nice! I have only ever seen the ski-frees in videos. Looks like a blast!

Here is a photo early on in the build. All photos were taken by the previous owner. Although it doesn't show it, a custom base plate was made. Thankfully, I came across a haul of NOS parts (not your contact unfortunately), including about 15-20 pins for the impeller! Did you snag the factory...

Will have some video in the future! Put them up against a stock 2010 SuperJet. Out of the hole the WetJet was quicker, with top end being about the same for both.

Almost 7 month update: Got the WetJet running, but it was taking on water via a previous fiberglass/patch-job. Sadly, between work I didn't have the time to fix it... At the same time while working on mine, a fellow WetJet enthusiast was selling 2 of his immaculate condition WetJets on the...

That's great! Sounds like the WetJet has a solid foundation. Look in your area for people selling their WetJet for parts. Seems to be fairly common here in the midwest at least. You will love the WetBike - nothing like some vintage watercrafts to add to the collection.

Nice! It seems like parts for the Brut engine are more readily available. In terms of worth, probably a couple hundred bucks depending on condition. I know for sure I won’t be getting my money back if I were to turn around and sell it. But after the ride I had with it this past weekend, I don’t...

Well, this weekend was the maiden voyage after 20+ years! Took her out on the water for a short amount of time before the rear pump assembly came loose.. Thankfully nothing was lost as I kept close to shore. Between the SBN38 and the SS impeller, this thing is a hell of a lot quicker than I...

Welcome to the club! Page 1 of this thread has a PDF/link for the manual. Do you know which engine you have? Brut or Cuyuna?

Yeah, pulse and all. It is the new SBN38. I actually got it going - problem was the gas tank was depressurizing due to the gas cap being loose. Not sure if that is possible, but after securing it the machine fired up after priming a bit more. The new carb may need some subtle adjustment. There...

Back in business! Got the electronics sorted and double checked my connections. When I checked the kill circuit with an inline spark tester, there was spark with the lanyard attached and no spark with the lanyard off. Success. Unfortunately, I have run into another problem. For whatever reason...

Well, the new battery didn’t help.. just hear a clicking noise. Starter relay? Maybe need to double check my connections? I am at a loss.

I really wish I was more organized when taking apart the different components.. While messing around with the carburetor, I managed to lose 1 of the nuts holding it in place on the manifold. A trip Ace Hardware, and many guesses later got me a new stainless steel size M8 nut. What I was able...

Long overdue update: I have been MIA since the holidays due to a busy work schedule and COVID-related hurdles. Thankfully, life has settled down a bit and I have been able to spend some time working on the WetJet. Sorry for not responding sooner to your messages @Quinc For those following...

Sadly, I do not. I will take the cable out and measure it to get some numbers. I think it is about 36" long, but not sure of the threads. Thanks G-Body Sure! Sending you a private message.

No worries, I appreciate you chiming in. Any advice on what to look for in a new, compatible throttle cable? Or how to adjust the existing? I don’t know where to even begin.

I have a feeling I might need to change the throttle cable for the new carb. Here are some photos of my current cable/situation. Any chance anyone recognizes a similar throttle cable that would work? I have no experience with throttle cables.. Looking inside the steering column.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. You wouldn't happen to remember how you attached yours would you?

Thanks for the tip! That sounds like it would be a lot more accurate. As far as the throttle cable, I think it might just be a matter of finding a cable stop that would fit. Here is a photo from Quinc's thread (hope that is alright Quinc). From what I remember, he used the OEM throttle cable...

Hope everyone had a great and relaxing holiday! Here is my post-holiday update: Pulled a rookie mistake and purchased the wrong gauge wire for the kill-switch.. The wire running through the kill-switch circuit is 14 AWG - I purchased 16 AWG.. Since a current will constantly be running through...

Little bit of an update: I think I got the wiring under control and should have the OEM lanyard/kill-switch back in order by the weekend! I purchased some waterproof butt splice wire connectors and will tackle the wiring after the holiday. I also got tired of messing around with the fuel leak...
