Hey Everyone -

I am looking to purchase a 2010 STX15F with approximately 170 hours on it. I am pretty familiar with the STX platform (I have a 2002 STXR). Ski has been a saltwater ski most of...

Might be something bad in the cdi box. As far as the not starting, maybe the starter is bad?

This has been really helpful, thanks everyone!

Ok, thanks. Maybe I'll just replace the cone bearing and leave it as is...just trying to be cautious. How long have you had yours?

Did you figure out the correct cone and nut part numbers?

Hey Everyone-

I am trying to put together a parts list so I can upgrade my pump shaft to the double threaded model with the bearing in the cone assembly. Any help on the missing parts blanks...

Hey Everyone...

My 1200 STXR came with a Solas 13/25 prop that was seized on the hub. While I was trying to get it off, I ordered a Solas 15/21 to get the ski up and running. The 15/21 did 59mph...

Not too much left...the seat is still up for sale.

Well I am glad I tested the pressures! First I found a leak on my Niche fuel pump. Tightening the security screws fixed that. Then my number 3 cylinder was popping off at 25psi or so...not sure...

I am not quite understanding how to test the pop off pressure. According to the manual, I am supposed to hook the tester up to the fuel pump itself and check for 15PSI hold point. But how do I...

Ski has totally been stripped down, let me know what you need!

Hey Steve what part are you looking for? I can see if the ski I'm parting has what you need...

Picked this up for the engine, the jetpump and driveshaft are both seized. One family owned ski it's whole life. Overall the ski is in great shape. 175 hours on functioning gauge with all the LCD...

I might have a spare Ultra150 gauge for sale next week if you do not fix yours...good luck!

I might just verify the pop off pressure on each, and run premix and the oil injection.

I know its not 100% guaranteed as a fail safe, but I think it gets you damn close.

So the rationale here is that the external check/pop off valve is more reliable than the internal one, and since it is in the throat instead of the body, it should always be getting oil even if there...

Thanks all. I did not check the pop off pressure, I will have to try that. I changed all gaskets in the carbs, cleaned the internal filters, replaced the needle valve seals...everything looked...

Today I took apart all of the carbs (again) to make sure they were functioning correctly. The fuel sitting in the carbs looked premixed. I sprayed carb cleaner through the oil injection passages,...

Well it was a short lived season. I spent the last couple months rebuilding this ski, fixing small issues here and there. On a ride last week, it decided to eat the #1 connecting rod bearing. Ski...

Just want to thank everyone for their help. Fuel pump fixed all my issues and I was able to take the ski out for the first time. I hit 55mph on the GPS which seems about right based on the hours on...

Does anyone know the right color paint to match the green on my 02 kawasaki 1200 graphics? I picked up a set of mirrors from an 1100 and would like to paint them green to match. Black is the other...

I bought an aftermarket 'Niche' pump...you can find them on Amazon and ebay for about $65. I am going to swap my wix filter to a mesh filter before I take it out.

Well, looks like it was the fuel pump. Fired right up, running on all cylinders. Idle was super high from being adjusted to running on two. Doesn't die out after a few minutes, keeps on running. ...

Thanks Steve. It's a brand new hose hooked to the pump just to test it. Definitely not the hose. I ordered a pump, ill report back when it's in. I also cut the spark plug wire back 1/4". Thanks for...

Well I can definitely confirm that the pulse line will not hold vacuum or pressure...whatever the human lungs can do, it cant hold that. Seems like a fuel pump is in order...
