If you take on the job, let us know and I’ll make a suggestions list of tools to have on hand and what you might need to know to make it easier instead of stumbling through learning as you go.

If you run a shop and have skills and tools, I’d say you could have the motor pulled, swap everything to the replacement long block, and reinstalled in about 6 hours if you kept at it. That is...

My man, I’ve encountered people that have “gone premix” and deleted the oil injection on their FICHT Polaris.

To those reading this: Stoich aside, the fuel injector ONLY spits on the top of the...

When it comes to machines, I always say, when the engineers that designed put something into print, it’s probably good to follow the word.

With regard to premix on a FI 2-stroke, think about that...

I have a sneaking suspicion that you have a bad gauge, slow starter, or some other factor giving you a false idea of what your compression is. Were the original numbers even amongst the 3-cylinders?...

the chain tool is nice, but I’ve rebuilt many by using a hammer to peen the new link. I like to use the inertia of a weighty pry bar gently positioned behind the rocker tower to go behind the new...

If you don’t neglect the maintenance and don’t do anything that’s obviously detrimental to a marine vessel... or machine in general, they can keep going and going and going. For instance, the...

For those reading this:
“book value” on a 15-year old PWC is a bit of a joke. 9/10 jet skis that are sold are reported to the local tax collector as being sold for $300, regardless of what was...

I enjoyed doing a quick boost control solenoid swap and oil change on our fella’s 1-owner, mint condition MSX-150. I pointed him on to Weberpower.com for the bracket for the wastegate solenoid and...

Ye ol Salty Dog is currently gettin salty in Cortez, FL, but shoot me a message and let’s get together next week. I’ll fix it for you

That’s great!! So did you manage to work out the smoking/mechanical engine issues? Sounds like you’re well on your way. Yes, bypassing the SIFB is a great “mod” to be done in the name of reliability....

The PPU and module are up under the hood, under the storage bucket. The PPU is the throttle position sensor, it’s hanging under the handlebar side of the opening. The module is hanging on the wiring...

it sounds like you may have a failed PPU module. Try unplugging the PPU module and the PPU itself. Then try starting the engine. You won’t have throttle response, but does that make it run smoother?

You can test it, but I bet if you take it out you’ll visually see why it’s dead. On the bottom where the circuitry is potted into the heat sink, you may see corrosion visibly disrupting/breaking...

Greetings Wilson,
it sounds like your voltage regulator/rectifier has died. Once the voltage regulator died, the ski ran on battery power without the alternator being able to charge the battery....

Greetings Wilson!
Sorry to hear that you’re still battling that thing. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that the turbo isn’t the issue at all. If you think about the construction of the...

The PPU, PPU module, and ETB can all fail in a way that will throw a check engine light.

If there is no overheat light flashing on the gauge, but there is a check engine light flashing, it sounds like you need a PPU, a PPU Module, or a new ETB. The order in which they fail is the order...

How many hours are on the ski? Compression is good, correct?

Yes sir, your turbo carteidge is just a k03... Ive run one of those Chinese cartridges for a few hundred hours with good success. (If I remember correctly, the one I’m thinking of was like $60)

You’ve got a bad PPU or PPU Module

That doesn’t sound like a BOV to me. Sounds like something serious. Water pump drive gear?
