G'day,
i have just purchased an 1993 650sx.
i am completely clueless when it comes to jet ski's having never ridden one (been on the back).
though i grew up around the water, and kneeboarded/wakeborded a few years ago
picked it up for what i believe is a fair price. but it needs lots of elbow grease.
at this stage it mostly looks to be cosmetic (needs all new pads, including chin)
Unfortunately the battery was dead, and the previous owner was selling due to ill health, (getting on in age, and physically incapable. currently having health issues - to the point of not being able to walk outside for the inspection or sale)
as such i was unable to learn how to start it. though the motor looks to be really clean with no obvious sign of oil weeping. (surprising when the hull has oil deposits. backs up his statement about it recently being worked on)
so can i please get a step by step starting guide.
(i did a search but couldn't find one)
i look forward to posting as this project goes on, (looking forward to learning about 2 strokes, as i ride motorcycles and work for a motorcycle store)
so far a pump block of plate has been ordered and a flush fitting is next
battery is out and will be tested at work tomorrow.
buying a ski without knowing of it is running.... (apart from owners word)
this is either going to be a thing of greatness or an absolute disaster.
