I'd check to see if the flywheel became mis-aligned with the key way during assembly. While monitoring piston travel for TDC, rotate crankshaft, by hand, while watching for flywheel timing "nubs"...

PM sent regarding hood decals.

From the photos, the hull appears to be in good shape cosmetically and the seat it is not ripped. Shine sells. I did one last year that needed an engine, but the hull and seat were OK---at least...

You don't have to replace the canister head piece, with the broken nipple. Just seal it off and perform the alternate FPR reinforcement detailed here.

By the time you pay shipping back and forth, you're well on your way to owning the Metalwerks version offered on ebay.

From what I understand, the MSX140 EMMs were later in production and had better electrolytics. Some of the other issues would typically surface by now, if they were going to happen. So, if it ain't...

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I stated "likely". My 40+ years of electronic component servicing has commonly seen electronic equipment remain in reliable service for far greater spans...

I disagree. The EMM can and likely will have age related issues--nothing that cannot be repaired affordably and will likely be trouble free for another 20 years. Carburetors are perpetually...

Be sure to reinforce the fuel pressure regulator (FPR). It is known for literally falling off, inside the fuel tank. When this occurs, fuel pressure drops to near zero and the mixture becomes quite...

It would seem very odd and an extreme coincidence that you would have two defective "paddle wheel" sensors. Not to insult your intelligence, but does your ohm meter read zero or near zero ohms when...

To verify the injectors are on the correct cylinder, you would only require DW, not a QR code reader. The injectors have S/N on their labels which are also displayed in DW. The only instance a QR...

bspanovic is the other Australian member. I believe he resides in Sydney. I don't know if that is close or not.

swan is a member in Australia and I'm pretty sure he has DW. I do't know what part of the country he resides within. He's a great guy. Utilize the forum's private message to reach out to him

We...

He indicated he was from Australia. We have a few members there who have Digital Wrench (DW), the diagnostic software. With that and a cell phone QR code reader, you can determine if the injectors...

Yes, I suggested it and provided the bill of materials to a member who had broke off the return line hose barb from the nylon head piece, last summer.

I've also encountered a near identical...

It's more of a yellow. It is Valvoline X-All grease. I apply a coat to the hose barb to aide with seating the hose. It is especially helpful when installing 1/4" hose on a 5/16" barb---which also...

I've been working on my 2020/2021 winter project PWC, a 2003 Virage i. Upon removing the fuel canister and visually inspecting the fuel pressure regulator (FPR), I thought I had received a "free...

See post #3 of this thread for the link.

I have a project Virage i that has a crack in the cylinder casting along the mold line, from top to bottom. I'm seeking a serviceable replacement.

No good deed goes unpunished. I had a complete...

I should be able to supply that. $20 shipped. If you're interested, PM me and also let me know which color you need, black or creme.

PNs forthe fuel line and clamps. Link to the fuel line source.

Could be contaminated fuel. See this thread.

Here is what you need for hose and clamps. I just copied it from another thread. Maybe k447 would include it in his info pages as I've sent it a number of times to various members:

You'll also...

I've never had an issue with them, but I don't twist or pull on the hose to remove it. I remove the injector retainer bracket and then pull the barb fitting from the injector. I lay the...
