    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Snagged the part number. It has been a while since installing and didn't recall there being one. Took the electronics apart again today just to make sure. CDI part number is 01-143-22 with 2018 underneath it. I take it that is the year it was put together/tested?

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    While figuring out my kill-switch predicament, I started cleaning up the little things. The weather stripping around the hood was in rough shape - not surprised after 33 years. Decided to remove it and purchase a new strip with 3M backing. Here is how it is going. Trying to figure out how to...

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Unfortunately I do not. I purchased it from a vendor that deals with Cuyuna engines in general. I'll reach out and ask.

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Unfortunately, no green wires. But I would not be surprised if I could interchange parts. I have no problem installing a new kill-switch, but only concern is where to incorporate the new wiring and whether I should use an OPEN or CLOSED kill-switch. Here is a universal OPEN switch I found...

    Yes, the Nippondenso 070000-0640 CDI is the original. The replacement only has 6. Not sure if it is the same part number or the vehicle the replacement came out of. Maybe the CDIs are more universal that I originally expected?

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Went ahead and made a new gasket for the flywheel/mag cover. The original ripped in just one spot.. just my luck. Goal this weekend will be to get the fuel leak under control and have her running on the hose for a short time. Here is the area that is giving me the issue. It seems that when...

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Good eye! My only fear is interchanging the parts and causing an electrical mishap. I have considered purchasing similar parts that appear to be interchangeable, but do not know if it is worth the risk. I am glad it brings back some good memories. Even with it sitting in my driveway, I always...

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Thanks G-Body, that definitely helps me visualize things. I figured I would post a photo of the diagram. I highlighted the wires of interest. The yellow/black kill-wire is no longer present on the new CDI. Only the red/black is. Where should a new kill wire be installed in this case? From my...

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Interesting - thanks! Would the solution to my problem be simply to install a kill switch from the single red wire coming from the CDI? I have never installed a kill-switch before, but assume that it just interrupts the series circuit.

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Yep! The Nippon Denso CDI is what I have. It has 3 connections that come off of it. A triple plug that goes to the stator, a double that goes to the external/excitatory coils and a double that goes to the kill-circuit. Here is a photo I took a couple days ago. Thanks for the diagram!

    Post pics of your ski......

    Happy to hear it brings back some memories/nostalgia! It might not be the fastest PWC on the water, but my hope is that it will be the most unique.

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Thanks for tagging along in the restoration! I am looking forward to getting the ski out on the water come spring. Once I got it running earlier this month, I was tempted to take it out on the water. Sadly, the 30 degree temperatures are too frigid for a wetsuit! Not surprised! I can't help...

    can someone ID this prop?

    Yep, 14/17. As previously stated, the 4 and 7 give it away. Can't go wrong with a Skat.

    Happen to have a parts list? I am hoping to make one myself. The price on these things are nuts.

    Here is a unique one I recently added to the fleet. Currently going through a restoration this off-season to bring it back to its former glory!

    I think someone may have pulled a skier or tuber at some point as well :rolleyes: Yikes.

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Will do! Working on it. Figured I would include some more close-up photos of the bodywork I have ahead of me. You can tell that at some point, someone attempted to "repair" the gel coat in certain areas. No worries - should be a relatively straightforward fix with a lot of wet sanding. There...

    WetJet 428 L/C Restoration

    Great, thanks! I will look into it - I think I found one on Amazon for $145.38? Not sure if I am allowed to post links up here. Surprisingly I came across an OEM ski mirror on eBay that was an accessory part for the WetJet back in the day. I snagged it as soon as I saw it. Not that I plan to...
