I thought the 08 and newer skis have "built in sponsons"?

You will need to destroy a 12mm wrench to get that riva exhaust off. This is the wrench I use for all the riva pipes.

+1 Every single time out!

The motor passed the leak down test after replacing a leaking exhaust manifold gasket. My problem was with the fuel or fuel pickup. I had drained the fuel in the past using the reserve pickup. I didn't realize there is still a bit of fuel left in the tank after the reserve stops sucking. So I...

My problem was with the fuel or fuel pickup. I had drained the fuel in the past using the reserve pickup. I didn't realize there is still a bit of fuel left in the tank after the reserve stops sucking. So I used my shop vac and vacuumed all the fuel/water from the tank. I went thru the carbs...

Well I pulled the motor out today to swap it and this is what I found. Could this be the problem? The front and rear seal "look" good.

I was looking into doing the same thing with a pontoon. My local boat dealer was steering me toward a lift that they sell at harbor freight. He said he installed one for the local firedepartment and just used a 2 - 3/4"x4' sheet of marine plywood to brace it...

I performed the ohm test on the stator and it passed. Could it be the stator if when you prime more fuel in the motor it runs better?

I thought all boats have some exhaust coming out of the pisser~? What if I pinch off the water coming in for the first 15 seconds once the water. If the pipe is cracked and letting water in, it should run better.

I tried to run it with the fuel cap off with no change. I will run a new fuel line for the "on" circuit and try again. So it should pressurize while running?

A couple of more things to mention: 1. The exhaust gets very hot at the expansion chamber area. Just with that little bit of running in 65 degree water it is so hot you cannot put your hand on it. I have replaced all the cooling lines and cleaned out the top riva water hole. I also restricted...

I bypassed the entire fuel system and let it draw straight from the fuel can, no change.

It has done it since the day I bought it. None of the changes have made ANY difference to the way it is running. It had a set of taper bored 38's I replaced them with a set of stock 38's jetting is 75 and 135 Stock 701 - 155 psi per hole

Here are a couple of videos of my SJ. It will rev fine on the trailer (1st video) but as soon as it goes in the water it will not rev past half throttle(2cd and 3rd video). At the beginning of the 3rd video it revs up higher after hitting the primer but dies down soon after. I have replaced...

O.K. I am having a hell of a time with this SJ. I never ask for help on one of my skis but this one has me stumped!

I have a '97 Sj that is giving me some problems. It will start and rev clean and nice on the trailer. When you put it in the water it will not rev past 1/2 throttle and is very choppy. If you go in circles and get the exhaust out of the water it will pick up speed then completely shut off. I...

+1 ordered a flow control valve and the shipping was very fast!

What are you using for restrictors?

We like it. It was my son in the video breaking in the motor, the water is still a little to cold for me. He hopes to be flipping it in a couple of months,
