Seadoo Speedster Jet Pump Nozzle Alignment
zhlédnutí 39Před 4 měsíci
I am just completing a total restore on this 1996 Speedster and as much as I wanted to get it in the water I took the time to get the nozzles pointing in the same direction. Ha ha. I ended up machining nylon bushings for the steering cable connect as the others were worn out. Ride another day.
Speedster First Water Test 4-20-24

Long journey with this boat. It was in terrible shape. Po-Boys doesn't half-step. All in and get everything as it should be. Never know what is going to happen on the water and all went very very well for my first time out. I left the engine compartment open as I like to monitor temperature and any leaks. All was good. Preparation is the key.

Seadoo Jet Ski 951 DI Oil line Charging Priming
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed rokem
This is a Seadoo 951 DI engine. I have the oil lines connected to the oil pump. The oil pump is removed from the engine (2 small screws) You may not have a spare oil pump drive (plastic adapter) that I insert into the drill motor (drive is from a Seadoo 787. They are easier to fit in the drill chuck on the drill motor) . NOTE: the Drill Motor must be run in reverse because that is the direction...
Seadoo Jet Ski Drive Shaft in Lathe
zhlédnutí 253Před rokem
I was doing a little polishing on the o-ring sealing surface on the Drive Shaft. Cleaned up pretty well but I didn't notice the shaft was bent a bit. Run-out was about .060" total indicator reading. That's a pretty good wobble at high speed so I decided to straighten the shaft. I moved pretty easy and I am happy with the result which is less than .010" total indicator reading. Definitely no nee...
Seadoo Jet Pump Lip Seal Removal Tool
zhlédnutí 62Před rokem
People have asked what I use to remove the lip seal on the Seadoo Jet pumps. I just took a piece of brass, any metal will do and I ground a relief in the end but left enough material so that it would withstand some small impacts VIA a 12 ounce ball pein hammer. Gently as with everything. The relieved area allows the tool to slide behind the lip seal without contacting the bearing. Some are easi...

Breaking out the Jet Skis for the first ride of 2023. Just some video edits of our secret ride spot in Louisiana, I restored both of these GTXs and many other Seadoo skis. These two run about 50mph.. perhaps bit more. Handle GREAT, are stable, and hella fun !!! I don't like all of the OPAS and safety stuff as it affects quick steering and handling. All great skis though we just have or preferen...

So if it’s bad does it make a loud noise? Or like whining kind of sound
so if your fuel sending unit read 0 then it would not be able to suck up fuel to your carbs?
Are you turning it with a drill?
You didn't explain how you did anything but ok
That is what I need.
I like your pressure regulator. Where can I find the parts to make one?
Pretty smart!
This is a bad test. Do it according to the instruction manual.
I want one so bad!
Im super jealous! Have fun for me!
What size/capacity cleaner is yours?
+1 Many thanks ... Cheers, a 4 Zuma household. .. Vail, Colorado
How was getting the tire off and on? I’m dreading it
i can't get the nut off from the rear tire. tips?
I got same issue like that! Which one you used on burned film and how to take all off?
Hello, what steps would you advise for getting this exact bike started after being parked since 2017? Second question, this exact bike zuma 50cc burned oil. Driving for 4 hours would lower oil by about a quarter of quart. however, no oil puddle under it. No huge white smoke out exhaust either. Please advise. If it is cylinder gap leak than any quick fix by adding heavier oil weight? Great video. We would like to see how you took tire off rim though.
Dude, ALL zuma made before 2011 have 2-stroke engines. That means they use an OIL/FUEL RATIO when running. Yamaha designed the zuma to mix the exact ratio automatically so you don’t have to. It’s SUPPOSED to burn oil, TWO-STROKE OIL to be specific. What kind of oil are you adding?? Have you read your manual?
How fast are those two skis going
Nice job, I would like to see your other video on replacing the screen, and I will look for it
I also installed the M-SHOCK on the rear. I wanted more adjustability. Very happy with the price. around $600. Other shocks were twice as much. I'm gonna do the forks maybe this winter. This bike is pretty bad azz on the street. Expecially for a twin. Love it !!
Where i can bye it
I also removed the CAT and got an reflash for the ECU due to the fueling changes. UPMAP from CBS Motorsports - That's GABRO's Tune for the Shiver 900. I bought the Black Widow CAT delete for the Shiver 750 which fit fine. You have to do something with the pan above the exhausts. I made an aluminum plate which was easy. Great Price on the CAT Delete Kit from Black Widow sales@blackwidowexhausts.co.uk GPR EXHAUST of Ebay motogpgun (seller) Way cheaper than Akra. $700.
I called bull sh*t because she told me her ski went 63mph. LOL They don't go that fast. 50-ish is all they will do. She later agreed it was 53mph which is still a tad faster than I think it goes. I later fixed my ski and now I can keep up with her. I might have her by 1/4mph. LOL I had a bad rave valve piston.
Great job... have to remember not to kick the bucket! Thanks
Dog and a half long and half a dog tall.
What a total pain in the azz. You wouldn't think people could destroy a ski but they did. Someone put fuel in the oil tank and destroyed the rotary valve gear. It engaged just enough to make me believe it was OK... it was also dark when I checked. I installed a rebuilt engine and still had issues. The computer was bad. That baby is SCHWEET now. LOL Whew
Mr Gene, plz start offering your service sir, I’ll pay and I have the same skis you have 96/97 seadoo gtx..
What would you like to for me to offer as a service? If anyone is local to me I am happy to help out. I do very little work for other people as I restore these GREAT old jet skis.
@@genetemplet7022where are you located?
Hey man I got a 1995 sea doo spx with a 657x engine. I’m wanting to put the oem oiling pump system back on as it was deleted by the previous owner I was wondering if you could help text me through some things like the timing and how to set up the linkage!
Where u located
I live in Louisiana. I try to post interesting issues and this one you can see how beneficial these spark checkers are. They show you the spark instead of guessing.
Does both have the 787 motors??
Hi Gene do you have the measurements of a freshly resurfaced valve cover? Not sure where to start on mine
Tope de mais
Looks like fun!!
If you can afford it, it is very nice to have 2 skis and of course... they need to be reliable and kinda fast. Ha ha.
You don't have to do all that just stick the oil line into a little thing of oil and then suck on the end like a straw then put your thumb over it and put it over the nipple real quick only takes about 2 seconds
Sorry I didn't show more of the process but I was only showing the fitting and machine I used. This fitting drains the excess oil that gets pumped into the compressor (fuel Pressure) . I don't know how much oil flows through this line but it ends up going back into the oil tank fill tube.
Hello, I would like to know how you fixed the infocenter, thanks
That all depends on what is wrong with the info center. First thing you have to do is power them up. On this one, the wires were all messed up and I had to repair the wires and the plugs. I have a video somewhere on replacing the info screen but that is about all the physical repairs one can do with the info center unless they are really good at electronics. Hope this helps.
Does it have a drain plug for bottom case I am trying to get oil out of cylinders
No drain plug. If you are getting oil in the cylinders your crankshaft seals are leaking. Lots of people will tell you to replace the crank and rebuild the engine. I just install a valve in the feed line and turn if off when not riding the ski. Only way to get the oil out is to remove the spark plugs and place a rag over the holes and turn the engine over. I can be quite a process and a battery recharge. LOL Stay with it and don't overheat the starter. It will eventually fire the spark plugs.
If you have questions you can go to my facebook page. Po-Boys "family" Jet Ski forum and ask. I'll be happy to help. facebook.com/groups/713021842425357
We filled cylinders a year ago due to motor being seized I got it free and it turns over but it’s acting like it’s vapor locking got everything fixed but now I have no spark I’m just chasing issues lol
Don't listen to gene he has no idea what the h*** hes talking about The fastest way to get the oil out is to remove the car braider and stick a piece of hose down in the bottom of the case and use a funnel and a shot back and suck it right out or you can pull the case pressure line off of the carburetor stick it in the funnel and use a shop vacuum and pull it right out and as far as oil getting in it from the crank sills again that guy is full of s*** you need to replace the crank and do it correctly hes trying to half acid together you don't want to do that
If you are buying a used part like on EBAY As long as you can see the original machining grooves on the surface and the grooves are consistent all the ways across the plate they part should be useable. I've also had the the surface a few thousandths over-size with no issues. Like a reading of (.017") I use (.032") solder to take the measurement. When it crushes you just measure the thickness. I may have a video of taking readings on the rotary valve cover.
Nice video just what I needed to see Sounds good to Good luck brotha
It is still holding air. LOL Don't forget to clean it up while the tire is off. :)
Waiting for tires to come in need new stems installed also But got it running good
Mr. Gene plz start offering these kinda services to your subscribers..
You can still find these parts pretty cheap on Ebay. If that becomes a problem or vendors begin price gouging I'll do a few to help people out. I can't stand high prices.... we gotta stick together.

Are you pulling the motor out?
Sorry I'm just seeing the comment. Yes, I pulled the engine. The DI hoses can really get away from you regarding placement. Especially if you pulled the engine and it's been a while.
This is NOT correct procedure! I used your method and the engine ran HORRIBLY. Full time mechanic, I knew instantly upon start up that I was experiencing improper timing. You show us to line the 360 at TOP port when the procedure is to line 360 at the BOTTOM port. I would take this video down man, I was not happy until I discovered that your instruction was wrong and that it turned out to be an easy fix lol.
You clearly didn't watch the entire video. He checked both open and closed. Retard.
Sorry you had problems. If you watch the video you will see that there are TWO points to check the rotary valve timing. ONE with 360 degree mark on the top of the intake port, and THE SECOND to check with the 360 degree mark on the bottom of the intake port. If you read the degrees when I do each one you'll see the difference. The video is absolutely positively correct. The reason to check BOTH TOP and BOTTOM degree is because sometimes you can flip the rotary valve over and get the readings closer to spec. There is a tolerance in the manual that is listed in degrees of variance.
@ripptydevibes2581 i think u should be the one thats gonna need to remove the comment 😂
Great sound!!!!
Do you offer this service?
No I do not offer this service. This is just something I do for myself. It is a bit of a pain and I wouldn't make much money for the time it takes me. Also shipping would eat up much of any savings. If someone was really in need of one I might try to help out.
And how do you shave the Inner lip since you shaved off that main area you need to have the same clearance what you take from the front you have to take from the sitting lip right
@@genetemplet7022Hi, would it be easier for someone to just buy a new one from like SBT?
awesome vedio, very well explained exacly as it says on sea doo manual for engine 787, right on target open 147 close 65 outstanding!
The valves don't always come out spot on. Sometimes you have to flip the valve and determine which side puts you in better tolerance. I like be closer to the middle but sometimes you end up with readings at either end. Intolerance is close enough but like I said, I shoot for the middle. Good Luck !!
Very helpful. Professional.
Thanks I just wanted to get something up there for people to see how it is done. I remember my first time. A video like this would have been helpful. Thanks for the comment !!
Looks simple enough, well see in a day or 2 when I get ready to put my motor back in.... I've never done this before but there's a 1st time for everything
How did you make out?
Porque vcs não passa essa eapĺicao em portugues
da mesma forma que voce nao fala ingles, concerteza o senhor que esta explicando nao fala portugues! mas nao precisa nem prestar muita atencao no que el esta dizendo , o video foi tao bem feito que ele esta seguindo a risca o manual mecanico do sea doo 787 motor! esto afirmando por que tenho este manual! ele sta certissimo! ve no vidio em cima ele esta usando um medidor de centro morto do pistao na saida da da primeira vela do motor, este aparelho leva o pistao para cima exatamento no ponto morto antes dele retornar para baixo na batida , ele nao esta usando aquele tipo " a mais ou menos aqui, pelo contrario ele esta usando precisao tanto e que o cincronismo do pistao do motor dele esta marcando 147 em cima e 65 na parte de baixo como manda no manual! perfeito a media dele!
Hi Nirond, most excellent response. Thank you for taking the time. So true that I don't speak any language but English. I do my best to be as exact as possible and as you noted... I get this stuff spot on and leave nothing to chance. Thanks again !!
You gotta be from my home state LOUISIANA!!!
Yes I am. Born and raised on the Westbank now I live on the northshore. :)
did you figure out what the issue was with this one? Was it the pump or the pressure regulator?
Sorry just saw this. the pressure loss WAS the Fuel Pressure Regulator. I had great difficulty finding one. But the leaking regulator did not really affect the way the ski ran. I ended up swapping a fuel filter and regulator set up. Go here to find the correct stuff. www.highflowfuel.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwvb75BRD1ARIsAP6Lcquq7sLge05hW4Gqlv9jpNtMQYjHYpPQfUDgMD_-fc2eMP46cOjD7F0aAk9VEALw_wcB
I bought my first regulator off Amazon but the seller could not tell me the output regulator pressure. It was either or. You need around 58psi regulator and it should hold pressure. if you go to my facebook forum Po-Boys "family" jet ski forum you'll see all kinds of stuff I work on. I have a few videos. Very informal. Just ask to join. I want to keep the azzholes out. LOL
Think im having the same problem i took the line off the filter and ran it to the 'ON' outlet on the gas tank. Think the on off valve leaking air into it mine take off good thin dies or runs real bad for a few thin is fine untill i give it some gas. Post more how you fix it!
These problem can be difficult to find. I use a vacuum/pressure pump I purchased for $40 or so years ago. I block off the "reserve" and "on" lines as close as I can get to the fuel baffle. I have clamps for that I get off Amazon. I usually pull a vacuum first to see if I have a leak, then I pressure up to find the leak. Lots of times it is the gasket on the water separator.
We know you have the talent, but where is your work order?
Ha ha.... no work order or job release. :)
