    I checked on the price of the Duplicolor perfect match and it has jumped again to $21.00 a can now, this is getting ridiculous , not too long ago it was like $9.00 a can , then $17.00 a can and now this ridiculousness . Rust oleum high gloss black from Walmart is starting to look better and...

    You can quickly check the index on any triple crank with a dial indicator and a large vernier caliper , put the dial gauge in the center cylinder , spin it to find TDC, use the caliper to measure down to each piston, the measurements should be the same , if not it's out of index. obviously that...

    My opinion usually when that happens the crankshaft has been tweaked out of phase , if so you are only fixing the symptom , not the problem and it will do it again and again and again and again , I won't even touch one of those anymore. like you said there is no market for those anymore.

    Weird the last set of carbs I did the guys used SBT carbs on and they wouldn't pressure test and seal, the weird shaped o-ring on the pump side was about half the thickness it should have been , I replaced it and it was good to go , that was on a set of 720 carbs.

    I refuse to use anything but OEM Mikuni parts , that being said I don't use kits period, I find them to be way overpriced and they don't come with the needle and seats that you need to do the rebuild properly. I am set up with Western Power Sports and they have the individual Mikuni parts so I...

    Previously I had heard Myself mention the venom starter motors and that they have been working out really well, the other day I ran across this fuel float that Seadoo has discontinued and after doing some digging it looks like there is a whole world of venom products for watercraft out there ...

    95 sea doo xp 720 motor falls on face after warmed up and carb build

    Way too rich somewhere , I would start with a popoff test on the carbs to see if it's the o-rings or the ACTUAL needle and seats that are damaged

    Meeting the guy this morning on the GTS , it's going out the door for $2000 , I had it listed for $2300 , then changed it to $2200 so I am right at my target price, I always add in another $300 for wiggle room , sometimes I make an extra $300 and there is no price negotiation . This sale opens...

    WTB 91 waverunner 500 SBN carb

    Something isn't right , does it have a primer that might have gone bad possibly , a bad or stopped up one way valve that let it build up pressure ? BTW nothing weird about the pulse line shooting out gas if the crankcase is full of gas, the pulse line goes straight to the crankcase, that's...

    Yeah I can tell you exactly where to start , rebuild the carb with a new needle and seat , a bad needle and seat is the only way it gets that flooded.

    Let me ask you this do you have to choke it to crank it up or does it crank with no choke, if so it's way too rich, no Seadoo cranks cold without a choke or primer being used ever.
