12mm socket, is pretty much all you need make sure u disconnect the stator before u pull it. your able todo it iwth the exhaust on it and the gas tank in atleast thats how i just did mine.

They come right out...just follow everything coming out of the motor and take it off...carbs and pipe should be able to stay attached...

Disconnect battery cables and red starter wire coming from electrical box.
Disconnect all both fuel lines and two cables up front.
Disconnect water lines. (Including water intake line coming from back of ski)
Disconnect wire going into electrical box. (two 10mm bolts on top of box) then unplug.
Disconnect exhaust coupler.
Pull the four bolts holding the motor down.

Slide the motor forward a little...put a towel on the side of your ski to protect it and lift it out by the pipe and manifold under the carbs.

Should take about 45 minutes the first time.

Turn it upside down and start shaking. Eventually the mounts will give. Then it's just the red starter wire and you're good to go.

Happy new year.

How did you find this thread?

hmmm...from a couple years ago, but forgot to say take off throttle and starter cable and all fuel lines...you can stick a 10mm bolt in fuel lines so they don't drip.

It's easy. Just start into it and it'll make sense.
