I'll hold off for now, I found a guy near me that's been a jetski mechanic since these were new so I'm gonna take it to him and see if he can figure it out. Thanks tho
That'd be great, I'll definitely take whatever I can get but I don't want to steal them off you. I'll give ya something for them. Was it Running when you took it apart?
I got back at it today and I got it to run off the primer. I plugged off the feed line and just ran with the primer to prove that it would run. I adjusted the throttle stop/idle screw to solve the high revving problem. Then I hooked up the fuel lines and got it to run for 20-30 seconds. After...
It already has a spacer on it. it might've had an sbn at one time. It has some kind of extension welded into the flywheel cover with a bearing in it which I believe was for an old style total loss system or something like that.
She fires!
Back when it was running, one of the stater screws rattled out and got all jammed up in the coils and flywheel. It destroyed the coils and pushed one of the flywheel magnets over slightly. I replaced the coils and put the flywheel back on as is and it still ran so I left it. Since...
Just looked at some things this morning before work. The manual says the coil is built in to the cdi and it is called the igniter. The only way it says to test it is via the secondary coil by testing the ohms between the spark plug wires but that is in spec. The cdi has grey, black, red, and...
Not sure there is such a thing, the manual makes no mention of it. I'm assuming either the pulser or exciter coils are the primary but I'm not sure

So I took it back out today, here's a list of mods that I know of:
RRacing exhaust
Mariner Waterbox
LS (?) exhaust manifold
Oclan Pro aluminum head, milled
Pro ss-al aluminum jug bored 50 over
rev limit delete
lightened flywheel
choke delete with primer added
Early model lower end with circle...
I've tried that, can't get anything to work. Lookin for someone who knows these skis inside and out that I could take it to

I know it's more expensive but the ski has some sentimental value and I'd like it done right. Plus I've done every test and replaced every part possible, even rebuilt it with new seals and all. It seems like a timing/tuning issue but I've adjusted the timing every way possible

Hey guys, I'm looking for someone who is good with these skis in the northeast. I posted the story in the general forum but didn't get any hits. I have a 550 with tons of AM parts that ran great and then just died suddenly. I can't get it running no matter what I do so I'm looking for someone in...
Checked all that, everything seems in order. The water box blew while I was dumping little bits of fuel in the carb. It made me think it was a timing issue but I've tried every bit of timing adjustment and got nothing. Compression was around 120 when it stopped running and is now about 180...
So here's the story: It's a little long if you want to skip to the help part
When I was a kid my dad had this awesome 550 with every aftermarket part available on it. Bored all aluminum engine and shaved head, aftermarket exhaust and waterbox, 440 crank, ported, etc. Thing was the fastest jet...
Hi, I talked to chris at thrust innovations about the xfs you have for sale. I was wondering if it was in new york or florida? If you could, please contact me, Call or text Mike 570-933-0047 or email mmanglaviti@gotrateenergy.com, thanks
