    Jumping timing mark during test

    I think all the stators and triggers are the same on Carbed 951'S , pretty sure you are looking for a 98 flywheel as it had the single coil part # 290886598 , in 99 they went to dual coils and the part number on the flywheel changed to #290887945 and it stayed that part # till 2002 when the...

    Jumping timing mark during test

    Actually you can just pull the pipe then shove something under the engine to support it while you remove the front engine mount, flywheel cover and the flywheel, do it many a time here. The problem with asking this here is there are only a couple of guys here that know Seadoos and maybe a...

    My ski's were stolen.

    I have seen instances where skis were stolen and then they rode them like a rental till they ran out of gas and just left them beached , a customer of mine found another customers ski this way , riding down the river and spotted the ski beached , he tied to it and dragged it back to the ramp. I...

    Apparently Kawasaki is now selling crate engines, click on the linky thingy.. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/motorcycles/kawasaki-now-offers-jet-ski-crate-engines-get-ready-for-crazy-engine-swaps/ar-BB1oEtul?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=f4f3e60a5d274965a3ca38b56511438f&ei=23

    Other Xlt1200 keeps melting pistons

    I did it once, you know what happened the cat went out a couple of months down the road , the customer wanted me to cover the repair for free, never again if they don't want me to fix it right then come pick it up and try someone else, there are plenty of jacklegs out there that have no problems...

    All those jetting specs are with the cat removed, it's damn foolish and irresponsible to leave it in there knowing that sooner or later it will fail.

    Fuel line! How much?

    I know Gil ran the Mcmaster carr Tygon for years on his ski, I never saw it turn brown either.

    I am thinking your cat is partially plugged up, this makes it retain heat and skyrockets the Exhaust gas temps melting down the pistons, never ever rebuild one of these without deleting that crap, Yamaha knew it wasn't going to work before they did it, they went through the exact same scenario...

    Fuel line! How much?

    I have used this stuff on several skis , so far I have no complaints , it's 3/16 and stretchy so it fits on the connections tightly and I just back it up with small zip ties , not that it needs them to seal, Emgo is an aftermarket mfg of mostly motorcycle and ATV parts , they have been around...

    My customers are on about a four year turnover cycle from what I have seen over the years.

    The worst SBT story I have was I put an SBT reman 657 engine a costumer's SPX , as soon as I started the ski I knew it wasn't right, I called SBT wanting another engine, it was a good customer and I was willing to eat the labor on the second installation, no dice they wouldn't do it , their...

    I will put one in if the customer buys it and deals with the core return there self but I always advise against it , all you get with them is a warranty which does not cover removal and installation. I have seen the barely out of warranty situation way too many times .

    Seadoo HX

    Yep they weren't speed demons , kinda like a Waveblaste ll , to nose heavy to be super fast but they carve like a mofo.

    Techniques for removing cylinder sleeves

    One more thing you have maybe 30 seconds to get the new liner fully seated and the ports lined up right , after that you will be reheating it to make any corrections. I suggest having some bolts , large thick washers and an 3/8 impact to pull them down in the aluminum cylinders with , two per...

    Other Xlt1200 keeps melting pistons

    You can run them but like I said , they don't dissipate heat well and the engines are noisy as hell . I have heard brand new SBT engines that sounded like death from the moment you started them up , I don't fool with that crap anymore life is too damn short.

    If you give me more info on exactly what has been done as far as choke plate removal and cat removal I can probably be of more help. Running that at 32/1 was a mistake with stock jetting.

    Techniques for removing cylinder sleeves

    I have done them once on a gas grill, it worked ok, but I have done all the rest using an oven , set it to 450 and place the cylinders on two bricks, most of the time the liners fall right out.
