Yah the exercise balls don’t last. Too light as well (although better for head balls). We had a legit jumbo FIFA soccer ball which was great, but it split beyond repair. It was perfect for dribbling. It think we got up to 8 hits dribbling with it. The latest version is 3 yoga balls (1 as a...

Haha. Need some other crazies to join up and we can go full out. I think 50/50 balls may be an issue, but otherwise a legit game would be fun!

Also want to make sure the cradle is mounted tight to the motor. It causes vibration as well, and could be loosened from the motor mount vibration

I know this sounds ridiculous, but it is great fun! After a few seasons of doing this, we finally have a goal and ball system that works well! It is fun to see all the boats and couches stop and watch with jaws dropped ;-)

Ah. Ok. Thanks for explaining what the diagram didn’t show! Will pull the pump off when I get back home (Of course this happened while on vacation and no good way to work on it).

Thanks. Ugh. Bad day for shafts ;-(

Was riding and all the sudden the motor would rev with the throttle, although no propulsion, and just an ugly whirling sound of sorts. I can move the motor flange coupling by hand, and everything inside the hull spins fine. I can hold the impeller shaft still while the motor flange moves, and...

I would suspect the fuel filter more than I would suspect the fuel switch. You might want to try removing the fuel filter and see if it fixes the problem. Easy to try, and new ones are less than $10. Good luck

Thanks! The pic helps. The reeds are attached to the manifold. Not sure what I was thinking before...

Great info. Thanks. If I can get some gaskets quick, I will remove the manifold and check out the reeds. Going on weeks vacation in a few days with the skis and not sure I can get it done beforehand. Can I replace the reeds without pulling the motor? If so, I might have a chance of getting it...

Thanks, that may be a next step if I end up not finding damaged reeds. Do you know if o-ring wear would show up as low compression in a compression test? (showing my ignorance here ;-) )

I am not sure how to check if it is dumping fuel when idling, because the throttle is not open and cannot see into the carb. I am probably missing something in what you are saying. Never messed with the reeds before. Can you inspect and replace them removing the intake manifold, with the motor...

Yah, I bought an Actron compression gauge for $30, and it bounced around a bit, so I kind of averaged the numbers. I used the long adapter. The high cylinder was at 175 the first time, then when I did it again was more like 165. The low cylinder was more like 165 the first time and then was 155...

165 psi in “good” cylinder, 155 psi in “bad” cylinder. While not ideal/perfect, the compression test seems to be acceptable. Within 10% of each other. Also swapped the spark plug wires (simply switched which spark plug the wires went to) with no impact. So it is not the coil.

The motor has been running rough for while (2 seasons at least). Put in a new CDI, new spark plug wires (via jetskisolutions.com... great job!), new spark plugs. 4.2 k-ohms between boots as expected. Running a little better, but still rough. I pulled one boot from the plug, and runs similar. Can...

Put in new plugs and got new plug wires for the coil through jetskisolutions.com (jss and John, Cory did a great job and were super responsive!) Ski runs better, just not certain it is 100%. How can you determine if you are running in one cylinder? I watched both pistons move when cranking...

Haha. You won’t blow your engine by tuning your carbs a little, but I know what you are getting at. Not suggesting to run lean, just leaner than stock setting. Simply adjusting the carbs a little leaner (if at stock setting) is a typical approach. Lots of threads on this.

Adjusting your low end adjustment screws in the carbs a simple thing to try. Making them as lean as possible (turning in - clockwise) without making the engine stall is your best bet. You can always adjust the idle screw (where the throttle cable is) to compensate the stalling when idling as...

Spark, fuel, or air. I would guess fuel flow, since it runs good when riding. You could have a restriction in a fuel line or a leak.... which is a problem when starting, but is not severe enough to be an issue when running. Would check the in line fuel filter near the gas tank, make sure fuel...

I swapped in the ignition coil and wires/boots from my 2001 Superjet, and really did not make much of a difference. This coil has the expected 4k ohms resistance between the spark plug boots. My other ignition coil has no resistance between the plug boots, but they seem to perform the same...
