Then I pulled one out of the...

    While I had the cover off, the beeper was dead , most likely because of the giant dirt dobber nest inside of it , also the switch was toast , I had a set of handlebars out of a 4TEC laying around with the beeper still on it , all Seadoos use the same beeper assy. from 88 up to now , I cut the...

    The DESS key on this was past being shot , it actually crumbled when I put it on the post and fell off what was left of the cord , amazingly it still worked as long as you held it on the post. I was digging around looking for parts at the lake and I came across a ski with a dead engine that I...

    So the impeller is done, only the front edges needed attention , nothing a few passes with the angle grinder can't fix , the jet pump oil what there still was of it was nasty and chunky and about 100 hrs overdue for an oil change , I cleaned it out with Berryman B12 carb cleaner and reassembled...

    Pine -sol, purple stuff and Castrol Super clean all work really well, I haven't tried it but LA Awesome cleaner undiluted would probably work well also. Replaced the oil lines, I use Tygon weedeater fuel line for oil lines, they are a little thicker on the wall size of the tubing , I resuse the...
