I am talking about manual positive trim systems where pulling the handlebar lever pulls the nozzle upwards to add positive trim for tricks, jumps, etc. When the lever is not being pulled then the trim nozzle is loose or floating, and I figure since it is not held statically then it can moves...

My 1996 SJ701 came to me with a trim kit. Based on comparing the ride with the trim kit enabled versus when the trim is set fixed / static, I believe at least my ski wants to porpoise more with a trim kit. Mine does not have a return spring and I have never tried a return spring but I doubt...

I have installed the cable and bracket that @tomski sells. These are both really quality products. The cable is 6mm (vs 5mm on stock) and so heavy duty for the application. High quality casings, and a very smooth movement in operation when installed. The cable has 105 mm (4 1/8 inch)...

Thanks for the reply. Those things I pulled out of the SJ700 were pretty messed up and so it was hard to tell what they were with a gauge, but likely imperial. After posting I felt more stupid to realize that I could just measure the bolt from my 4-stroke superjet, and this one is definitely...

I am changing what I think is a stock handle pole on a 96 SJ700 for an RRP cast aluminum pole. The pivot point fasteners in use were as shown in the picture. I knew I did not have a spring and bought a new one in preparation for the new handle pole installation; however, my fail, it was not...

Ok, excellent. I have them apart. Thank you so much!

Hello, These 2 wire connectors are at the end of the wires running from the SS-switch. This is a 96 SJ701 and I am in the process of switching the stock handle pole for an RRP one, and it seems like this is a necessary step. If someone would please describe exactly how they can be...

I have a more typical scupper tube running through the left hand side of the tray compartment (where most of them seem to be). You can see it in this pic: This picture is from a post (what is likely source of leak) I made in 2020 in which I was asking about leaks into the tray area, and...

Apologies if the questions are noob. My ski is a 96 SJ701. I am sorry that I do not know about it better than i do. Most of what I know about jet skis I have learned reading here, so all help is appreciated. The picture is of the back right lower corner of the engine compartment. What...

If an RRP pole with tubes cut to the recommended 23.5” and installed such that the +2” to -1” adjustability is possible, then what would be the straight line distance as measured from the centre of the bolt that mounts the pole to body up to a point even with the steering pivot?

Yes, thank you. I have the RRP steering system and this makes for quite a bend in the cable if the cable connector ball is out (further to the right of ski centerline) towards the farthest outside end as the steering plate allows. In fact, on mine it seems if I try to move the connector ball...

yes, thank you Quince and Big Kahuna, i have been following that thread with great interest since it started. Excellent stuff. I am making the over pivot steering changes for this season. That thread mentions rear sponsons but I did not see anything about front ones. I have seen some...

Hoping to solicit opinions and a bit of a discussion about the pros and cons of front sponsons for the 4-stroke superjet for various types of riding, and would really appreciate thoughts and experiences especially from those that may have already tried same.

Yes thank you. That is what I did. As well I used the part 1a O-Ring on top of the pump assembly. And, I only used one of the 2 provided parts 1 Pump Gasket; this between part 2 Pump Diaphragm and the part 18 Pump plate. The part 1a O-Ring seems to replace the 2nd of the two Pump Gaskets...

This as reference regarding my previous post

Hi So I got the rebuild kit and some related stuff from @JetManiac - excellent service and knowledgeable support. Thanks Chris! I am in the process of the rebuild - now fully disassembled, cleaned up in ultrasonic and blown out, and I am just about to start reassembly. I hope someone can help...

So I pulled the carburetor and have opened the regulator side. The diaphragm was intact but quite stiff and hard (that’s what she said) and kind of crinkly and rigid in parts unevenly so across the surface. There is no way this can have been functioning properly as regards a smooth and...

JC-SuperJet - How would I do a pop-off test that would reveal issues in the needle and seat?

Thanks smoofers

Thanks for the reply, mikidymac!
