they figured out it had the impeller for a 750 in it so we replaced it with a stock one for a 900 and the problem is solved. it still will only go like 42mph tho i'm not sure why

so i just had my 96 900 zxi rebuilt and i don't think it's running quite right. the carbs are rich right now so i don't blow up the new motor but it doesn't always rev out. it will sometimes just...

so i just spent over 2 grand rebuilding my 96 900 zxi and it's having more problems. i did the engine break in thing for a whole tank of gas and then i tried running it full throttle. it went great...

well i got my ski back yesterday. they replaced the entire third cylinder, patched a hole in the bottom of the motor, replaced all the crank seals, and a bunch of other stuff to the tune of 2022.84....

well they almost are being that i paid 1250 for the ski haha

UPDATE:
brought the ski in to tousley motorsports. cylinder 3 is toast, real compression is 122-120-89 so they will be replacing and reringing it. also found a major exhaust leak below the motor...

what does that do?

couldn't tell much from the wash but i tested the compression again and my tester was accurate. turns out it's not firing on cylinder 3. has spark, and it's not oily, and the plug smells like gas. ...

well it sounds like i tested the compression wrong because i did not hold the throttle or the choke nor did i ground the spark plug wires. i'm gonna cyphen the gas out tomorrow and give it a full...

no, no and no on the compression test haha this is my first jet ski. how do i go about grounding the spark plug wires? what i mean is when i was on the lake i turned the fuel knob down from on to...

i guess i'm more concerned about my engine not running properly than the trim. i changed the spark plugs and seafoamed the gas and took it out and it was doing the same thing. the old plugs were...

changed spark plugs, seafoamed the gas, and took it out again today. no luck still same problem. took the new plugs out and 1 and 2 were chocolate brown but 3 was light gray with brown ring on the...

so i took my 900 zxi out for the first time this year. let it warm up for a second then ran great! i could use advice on how to use trim (haha) as i was slapping against flat water for half the ride...

so i got out on the lake today. it ran great for about 10 minutes and then it ran like crap. it would only wind up to about 4k rpms and wouldn't even plane out. at idle it was real rough after...

ha i hope so! i think there might be a couple of lakes thawed enough to go out on this weekend. it's gonna be COLD

it's a 96

thanks for the responses! i will take it out as soon as the lakes unfreeze up here! there is a spot in the st. croix river but i'm nervous taking it somewhere with a current if i'm not even sure it...

so i bought my first jet ski this january from a dealer in iowa. no test ride because everything is frozen but it was a great price so i took a risk. the weather is finally getting decent up here...
