Granted I do have the R&D flame arrestor, but I went with the recommendations in the 'bens secret 951 mods' thread and everything works great.
I wouldn't hesitate to eliminate the accelerator pump...

I have had great luck using Atwood Snowmobile Parts in VT for having a new vinyl seat cover patterned off of an old one.
This was on a snowmobile application, but I pulled the staples on the ripped...

Tuned in on this one also. Never have ridden on 'Bago.

I like using these tools (although I'm a cordless milwaukee M12/M18 addict) to DISASSEMBLE stuff.
Maybe in certain situations to carefully run a difficult/long threaded fastener that I have...

Excellent editing work; what an adventure!!
Thank you for sharing with us!

Using a Candoo GPS speedo on my 01 RX carb 951, seeing around 60-61mph wide open.

215 hours is pretty darn tired for a 951 carb that hasn't been opened up!!! But on that same note, I finally rebuilt my 951 carb at 307hr since the compression was down around 110 and imbalanced;...

My $.02....I'd be questioning the STATOR with a 'no-run' once its warm, but seemingly ran great leading up to that.

I have done the manual suggested stator test using a multimeter on 90's Rotax...

As my main interest is SkiDoo snowmobiles, I can confirm those oil pumps do revert to wide open when closed. Just not 100% sure if it is the same on the marine Rotax engines.

When I fog my ski...

Ouch, shes seen oil starvation...

White exhaust smoke is a heavy indication of water being introduced into the combustion process.
And you could check your plugs to see if moisture droplets are...

As a guy who comes home from work every night and salivates at the thought of going out to the shop to work on my stuff, I still think you made the right choice.

If your schedule is tight between...

Just ran into this on my 01 RX carbureted as well in case somebody is searching this out. There was an extra hose leading up to the CSI area towards the front but that 'pisser' was positioned just...

Congrats on getting your machine debugged and ready for testing; thanks for sharing your runaway story!
In the final stages of reassembly, it is easy to overlook the simple things and I give you...

Thank you sir!!! Really looking forward to this upgrade based on your review!!

I had found an old FAQ post by user Tturbonegro about doing a turf install and it also showed a picture of his ODI...

I would like to ditch the factory grips on my 2001 RX and upgrade to ODI's clamp-on style grips.

I see the factory BRP grips have a 10mm headed bolt underneath the endcap of the grip.

Has...

Just did this exact job last week with no motor in the ski, and it still wasn't that fun with nothing in the way.

Also had no problem getting the 01 service manual download from seadoomanuals...

Definetely a matter of preference on this topic; pluses and minuses to both plastic and SS rings from longevity and performance standpoints.
In the end, there are a LOT of threads on this. Probably...

A friend of mine has been using one in his 951 XP for the last couple seasons, no issues.
I keep saying I'm going to buy one next time I need a wear ring...

I think the internal pump of the carbs (vac operated) creates the draw necessary to pull fuel to the carbs.
With a dry fuel system, prime is accomplished via turning it over and creating vac...

I say kudos to you for resurrecting your machine!!! You're close to being rewarded for your hard work and investment :-)
My project is a few steps behind yours and glad we can compare notes.

Was just looking at this stuff on my empty hull 01 RX carb last night. The 'mystery hose' I have in this general area with fitting through the hull up by fuel filler/where my knee is...is what I...

2 barbs on lower crankcase are vaccum pulse. One goes for the long vac hose that runs over to the Rave Solenoid, and one feeds that middle barb (90 deg bend one) on the carburetor (fuel pump) that...

It sounds like your wear ring in the jet pump may be shot.
This is a great first DIY project when it comes to 15 year old PWC's. ($30-40)
Check out youtube; many great videos showing the process...

Somebody may chime in with a better way, but on my 01 RX carb I pull the fresh air intake parts from near the rear seat latch area (3 10mm head bolts) and the accordian hoses, then pull the battery...
