I had to park mine about a month ago because of school. I'm either doing some glass work to fix a rather large crack from the previous owner or am gonna sell it now that it's working.
I had a situation kinda like that with my WB1 where I saw a puff of smoke cone out of my ebox. I checked all my electronics (solenoid and such) and it all checked out. I eventually needed a new starter but as I recall that was the direct call. Search in the waveblaster forum for smoke from ebox...
I don't think the pm I tried to send you went through so PM me because I'd like to see if we can work something out. Might be able to check it out this weekend depending on location.
My blaster has a 93 engine in it, still runs strong. I really can't think of any modern ski that would have a similar ride. I think a big part of that is that they are alot lighter and shorter than the modern skis and narrower too.
First off, Matt I owe you a huge thanks as you always seem to respond to anything I post.
I was told the PO had some carb issues and I know I should have but I never counted the number of turns on the screw. All I know is that it's probably close to 4 full turns out. After I did alot of...
Checked the switch last night and that was good. So this morning I pulled the ebox out and what did I see? A loose ground for the starter relay/solenoid and whatever else gets attached to it. So that's the good news fired right up.
The bad news, after running for about 15 minutes it's bogging...
Ok well with everything together I hit the green button and everything seems fine. Just put it in the lake hit the button and nothing! So I pulled it back to the house (150yards) and tried jumping the connector on the ebox side. Again, nothing. I guess tonight I'll pull the ebox out and check...
Ok well I just have to put the switch back together now. The contacts on the start button were pretty green/brown so hopefully that's the issue. If not, thanks bllewis394 because I'll try that next. Hopefully there is no next, as I've been having to order something new after each ride.
I'll...
So I was only able to work for about 10 minutes which included figuring out how to open up those switches. Door was left open on the garage and the mosquitos were feasting on me.
I looked at the stop switch only right now and all the metal seems clean. Didn't have any di-electric grease on...
I was recently in need of a new starter and after researching on here the best option was ordering one from Jetmaniac. People seemed to have mixed results with the rebuild kits and most people said stay away from the non-OEM starters. Several stories here and other places of them going out after...
Dmvmechanic I wondered about that because like I said it does runner hotter since I rebuilt the carb and replaced all my cooling lines except it's taken anywhere from 12-48hrs to restart. The engine was cool long before this.
Jays333 thanks I'll check that out too as thats a pretty easy one.
What lake were you at? I spend alot of time on a that has one of those cut off time in MI but no one really seems to agree on the time even when I've looked it up.
Seriously, if you guys were staying away from him he really shouldn't be bothering you.
Ok so as I've had a variety of issues that you gusy have fixed I've done a bunch of searches and don't remember anything quite like this.
First, I got the tuning pretty good so ski will start on 1-2 cranks but here comes the problem. I take the blaster around the lake 1 or 2 times and either...
Hey guys figured I'd give you all a final update. After I reconnected the electrical system everything is working no smoke. New starter from Jetmaniac installed and started it up again with no smoke and this time no noise (a problem from previous posts).
Except for the 2 hose clamps I forgot...
Looks like a nice find.
If it's like my Yamaha maybe try checking the fuel filter. Once I got all the air out of the lines after putting new lines in it it ran fine. But, I also had mayjor air bubbles in the line.
