    Super Jet pop-off leaks (no 'pop')? How to tell L spd. jet #?

    When checking my pop-off presure the needle seemed to leak rather than 'pop' out at 15-18psi consistently. When I pushed the down on the spring and arm it would release the rest of the pressure. I was expecting more of a pop from the needle, any thoughts? i did plug the pulse and lubed also...

    Super Jet run-away motor question

    so I went to start my SJ on the trailer before putting it in the water (trailered it further than normal and I turned the fuel selector off when I normally leave it on), and put probably 4-5 shots of primer which is more than what I normally shoot in. The ski ran away and rev'd out of control...

    FX-1 Ski dies after 100 yards or so.

    Had my FX-1 out tonight. Ski would run 100 yards then engine would die. It didn't bog down..........just died. It would start right back up and run another 100 yards or so and then just die. I think its my ignition coil. Anybody agree? I've also had some issues with intermittent starting...

    FX-1 Intermittent starting problems

    I recently bought a FX-1 and it runs great most of the time. Once in awhile when I hit the green start button, nothing happens. It doesn't crank, click, nothing. At first I thought the plugs that run from the start/stop switch to the CDI box were faulty, but they look good, I even put some...

    Super Jet woodruff key replacement

    I am going to be replacing my flywheel this week with a lightened one. I have read on this forum that guys say to replace the woodruff key, why? It seems that the old key would work just as well as a new one. Last time I had it apart, I just put the same key back in and have not had problems...

    Super Jet solas prop interferes with solas prop?

    I ran into some spacing issues with the prop and the solas mag pump. I have a solas concord prop that does not fit up to the solas pump. When I went to tighten down the prop, it pinched between the prop and pump. The hub diameter is larger on the solas pump versus the oem pump, also the pump hub...

    Super Jet pressing shaft off pump

    I am replacing the pump stator on my 2001 sj with the solas mag setup. I have it pulled apart, just need a little guidance on pulling the shaft out. Can I leave the prop on the shaft when I press the shaft out pressing from the exit direction? The manual seems to show pushing the shaft out from...

    Super Jet towing question

    When your ski breaks down in the water and you have to be towed in, does that flood your engine with water? A friend of mine put shut off valves in his waterlines incase he breaks down. wondering if that is necessary? does it matter if you tow the ski backwards or forwards? Thanks.
