I use an impact driver to disassemble, and run bolts back in. BUT snug and torque by hand. I also recently got a li-ion rechargeable ratchet that I'm really learning to like.......no air hose in the...

Don't jerry rig it and screw somebody else. Take the carbs apart, clean them, rebuild them, and be proud about selling a great running ski.

Yes, circled in yellow. It will make a more airtight crankcase.

There is a slight difference overall. Most recently a customer had XLT1200 twins. A his & hers combo. On his I removed the extra intake baffling, and took one layer out of the head gasket. His is...

Check for moisture or corrosion in the large wire block connectors at the MPEM. If that's not it then it's probably the MPEM itself. The '06 models had some crappy electronics.

I usually just drill the rivets on the metal head gasket and remove one layer. I've done it on the 1200r and the 800r.

I've wondered why that notch went all the way through the seal retaining groove myself but had not thought about filling it.

I know right!! I've done nothing to it. Unbolted the rear and just peeled the gasket off whole. And since it had never run right since this owner has had it....that was another thing that got me...

Oops, just read that they go into the front oil pump......will check it out and report back.

Alright guys. A customer of mine bought this boat a couple years ago and it has NEVER run right but has low hours......like 54 or something. It had been to a couple different shops for him to spend...

I have rebuilt a few sc 4Tecs and a couple na with WSM kits, no issues so far. I go through lots of WSM kits on 2 strokes every summer. I have recently had an issue with the gear in their 17 tooth sc...

Since the primer has been changed, that's where I'd look for an issue. Could be sucking air.

That damage is nothing, don't even worry about it. Those bosses are only there to support the timing chain guide....which it's still doing.

I always test the vacuum slides while carbs are off. Hold a shop vac up to the carb base and flip the throttle open.....the slide should go up quickly and fully. Normally the pumps are ok, sometimes...

Black plastic...

I litearally just checked one out yesterday for a customer doing this. Initial checks all showed good, even compression on all cylinders. Pumped about 5psi of air through the cooling system and with...

Are these for a carbed 1200 or FI? Or are they the same?

That, or send it out for replating. My wife's Yamaha FXHO has a sleeve in one cylinder....no issues at all. Now, finding a capeable machine shop these days is a different story.

But why would you do that? Aren't the 250/260 heads more prone to cracking by the bolt hole?

If there is no longer a fitting there and it's just a hole.....you can buy hole plugs at the hardware store.

Yes, we need to know compression numbers or maybe there's a part or cc on the heads. There are 2 bolts that hold the each carb on. They go through a ring shaped piece with a slot on one side. That...

Yes, I put it back in the Waveventure it came out of. I rebuilt it for a customer.

If you pull the small panel with the relay and turn it over you will see several ground wires and several power wires. Purple with black stripe is the ground coming from the DESS post in the harness....

It will fit into any 97-99 GP hull. It will fit into a 700 Raider hull. It could also be made to fit into a GPR hull or maybe a Waveblaster2. Those would all be relatively easy since they are already...

Hose clamps on the rings....just loose enough you can twist them and feel the rings touching the locating pins. Wire or other method on the rear coupler to keep the crank from rotating....pistons in...
