So I got back from deployment (about 2 months) and went to do some work on the ski. The battery was connected to a battery tender the whole time. I turned it over just for fun then began my work. I disconnected the battery did what I had too (nothing engine or electrical) then went to...

So I have ran out of shims. Does anyone know if it truely matters to use OEM shims (outrageously expensive) for the engine or pump? Found some on MacMaster for much cheaper. Anyone have any problems using non-OEM ones or suggestions otherwise?

re-installing my drive line after paint on the ski. Noticed when I was shimming the engine that there was a much larger then normal gap between the couplers (definately out of the 2-4mm) tolerance. Pulled the midshaft housing back off and realized the shaft has been pushed back through the...

Pulled the engine to do a leak down test while getting some hull work done and the fun begins. Leaked like a siv. Split the cases, cleaned everything up and sealed it back together. No leaks. (by the way "leakdown test" tech thread is very helpfull). Here is my question though...

So I just finished rebuilding my 800 SXR after a busted rod. New trued and welded crank, new (used crankcase), new V Force 3 reeds, new (used 1 season) cylinder and pistons, brand new wrist pins, bearings, c-clips and piston rings. In addition I am running a TMB non girdled head with limited...

Here is the leftovers of my TBM Limited SXR after the back cylinder rod let go. Not sure of the cause but there was enought pressure or impact to push the spark plug out of the head when it happened. Final tally: broke rod/bent crank, destroyed V Force reed cage and petals, chipped piston...

Here is some pics of the carnage to my leg from the last ride I had this fall. The ski faired a little better, only bending the steering cable and losing one of the back corner "bumpers". I guess the trick is to not let the ski land on you in the surf. Not a bad scar though for a shin digger...

I searched the threads and just kind of confused myself. So looking for clarification. I have dual Full Spectrum Carbs with an external fuel pump. I only have one fuel line from the tank (what use to be the reserve) feeding the fuel pump with dual lines from the pump, one to each carb. There...

This is is shout out and thanks to all the members of the 615 that welcomed me and made a great riding experience. Between all the tow backs, parts, gas runs and advice the riding would not have been possible without all of you. Hopefully I will be traveling to that area once in awhile and can...

Looking to switch to an enclosed trailer. I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas for making one jet ski friendly. I would like to fit three standups (2SJ's, SXR). With room in the front for tools, beach cart, shelves, storage or whatever. It would be best if loading and unloading can...

The little black rubber nose cone on my impeller (Skat Trak) keeps coming off the impeller end and sliding around on the drive shaft, what effects does this cause? Will this cause larger problems later? What is the easiest fix?

Quick question for anyone wanting to answer and I am sure there is a lot of opinion out there on it. My 701 is running 185 psi in both cyl's. Is there any reason to go to an aftermarket head girdled or ungirlded if I want to keep running pump gas? The stock head was shaved (don't...

Developed a problem today on my 97 SJ. After getting it upside down in the water I tried to restart it. After several 15 second starting attempts the battery started to die right when the ski was starting to fire back up. The next time I pressed the start button nothing happened. I released...

I have a 97' SJ with a 62T case and 61X cylinder. When I took off the flywheel cover it is stamped on the inside with 6m600. I need to get a new stator coil. Which one will work? Is there somewhere I can look on my electrical system to know the differance? Is there a differance?

I now have to replace the seals on my crankshaft for my 97' SJ. This is going to be my first time tearing down an engine. Excited but a little nervous. Not to mention pissed off that I can't ride right now. Anyways,.... Is there a good list of parts/supplies to get prior to starting this...

I pulled my flywheel today on my 97' SJ to check my timing setting/stator and found a potential problem. First, there was a little oily liquid in the area below the flywheel. Second, the crankshaft oil seal behind the stator coil is starting to tear under the shaft. Is the oily liquid...

I am looking to get a new ignition is my 97 SJ. I was running an MSD enhancer with stock flywheel but the enhancer crapped out. I am debating as to go with an T3 advent or MSD TL. I am new to electrical systems and not real good at tuning so weary of going with a TL. Also, in searching...
