Certainly interesting. I can't imagine the torque capabilities an E-Ski would bring, talk about cavitation issues! Electric vehicles are progressing at rapid pace these days. Do I think right now...

^ Definitely what he said. If a crank has even a hint of damage, roughness in spinning bearings, etc. it needs rebuilt/replace. At almost 7000rpm the last thing you want is a bearing to be developing...

Fairly sure its him over there...I've got a different user name there as well (dabomb6608 ) and have just been watching that thread as opposed to this one.

Not seeing the pictures...

But it seems to me that the failure was probably due partially to the water sitting in the engine. That is a sure fire way to develop rust on bearing surfaces and...

If the speedster had a midget brother then yeah its kindve close lol looks tiny comparatively

You need to keep in mind 2 strokes are getting harder and harder to find mechanics that know what they are doing to work on them. I know this because I'm one of them and hear it from every single...

I think his username is all that needs to be noted here...buys a pair of non-running 2 strokes not knowing how to work on them and then feels the need to name drop two mechanics when things don't go...

I can't necessarily correlate the hood effecting idle with the runaway unless there is a issue with the throttle cable getting in a bind. But things to check for a true "runaway" are air leaks, idle...

I'm fairly confident the check valves for SBN I-Body carbs (Power Valve motor carbs) are larger diameter than the regular SBN carbs (earlier non-PV motor carbs).

They are the same hulls with different engine mounts. I can't say with certainty if the 1200 hulls have the front engine mounts drilled and threaded for the 800 engine or not but the hull is made...

The only spot in the manual I am seeing that mentions a MPEM commanded reduced rpm for the RFI models is "when battery voltage reaches 8.9 volts for at least 30 seconds, engine revolutions are...

When it starts limiting rpm like that after a bit of running feel the cylinders to see if one of them is colder than the other. Rave valves need inspected/cleaned and checked for function....

Just a warning if it has issues beyond electrical and has engine issues. Very easy to drop $3k plus on a rebuild. SC probably needs rebuilt also.

Have you jumped the solenoid to do a crank test...

Again, I think you need to reevaluate your goal/budget. Are you mechanically inclined? Familiar at all with 2 strokes and how they function? Are you willing/capable to spend a LOT of time and money...

As someone who knows at least the southern half of Illinois jetski market fairly well I can assure you that you aren't going to find a sub $1000 jetski that is in good running shape and is also a...

It’s on the list of “skis I really really want to ride”. I like the look too. They remind me of raiders in the nose. Not like the behemoth noses of all the performance “big skis”.

I can’t speak for him, but for me it’s the fact that these “2 seaters” are just massive jetskis anymore. I recently picked up a project 08 PX myself and can’t see how I would enjoy throwing around a...

That was my first thought when watching the video that was leaked ahead of time. That GP engine access is pitiful and completely ruins the aesthetics. Why even keep the engine cover at that point...

I don't see any reason to believe that won't be adequate. What pressure do you plan to set the AFPR? Factory is in the 40-50 range correct?

One question I had in my head when brainstorming motor...

Few things...

No genuine rebuild kit comes with a needle. What kit did you use?

Compression is close to the "100psi or less=time to rebuild" mark...but not low enough to cause what you are...

I can understand that. Especially when running one fuel pump for two engines. What are the specs of that fuel pump? A twin engine 160hp MR1 powered boat burns I believe just under 100 LPH at wide...

Good progress. Not familiar with the fuel setup on XR1800 vs my LS2000 but I would think it would be most effective to place the fuel pressure regulator on the forward wall were the fuel line come...

Accelerator pump inspected during carb rebuilds? Sounds like its not working.

Stator can be pulled with motor in. Remove oil pump first to be able to pull mag cover out without opening up oil lines.

Not had similar happen but would definitely test stator ohms as well as...

Driveshaft available? Is the intermediate bearing assembly the same length as XLT 1200s? Part number for the midshaft is the same so I assume so. Needing both.
