I stumbled on these bolts and thought I would share it with everyone. The Factory Pipe Head pipe bolts are a fine pitch 1.25 and difficult to find. I wanted to swap my nasty rusted ones for stainless steel, not only are they very hard to find, they are too expensive for me to justify. I found...

Runs/idles well. When I stated "Vibration at Low RPM" I should have clarified. IMO, all skis tend to vibrate at idle, especially out of the water. This vibration is somewhere above idle RPM and while under load. For instance, it is most noticable when going through a "no wake" zone when...

Thanks Dirtybird, My problem definitely feels more like a balance issue. As the RPMs go up, it seems to balance out and is not noticeable. Unfortunately, I am storing my ski about 2 hours away and can't just go out and fire it up. I wanted to order some parts, so when I get it home I get after it.

Guys, Last season, I experienced some vibration at low RPM (1995 SJ). Probably not a big deal. Others that rode it, didn't even notice. I am pretty particular about my stuff and have no issue spending a little money each year so I never have any days/weekends that are cut short due to...

I bought a used B Pipe and the head pipe adjustment screws are all sheared off. I purchased a set of ParrDaddy's (BK Twisters) std. replacement screws. I dropped everything off at a machine shop two months ago. I just went there and picked everything up yesterday since they hadn't done a...

I had the same set-up and same problem. I'm sure your impeller pump clearance is more than it should be due to wear.

REALLY???? watch the video http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-Kawasaki-800-SX-R-Jet-Ski-Jon-Boat-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2eb69fa64bQQitemZ200632411723QQptZPersonalQ5fWatercraft#ht_500wt_1182

COOL. Let us know how it turns out.

no need. Once you remove the two phillips head screws which go all the way down to the front plate, the whole back of the starter slides out and you can access from there. I suppose if you needed to replace the bendix you may have to do that, I never had to.

The starter in your link will work. The after market starters do not have the extra mounting bracket for the small bolts that mount to the case. I have not personally used one of these Chinese starters, however, I've heard some negative reports. Do a search on this site. If you use an...

did you slide back the rubber boots on the ebox and then use a screw driver to arc the two? this will bypass solenoid and send power direct to the starter. This might sound obvious, but did you confirm the battery is good? I have seen good batteries go bad for no reason.

buy one of these or go to the hardware store and you can buy the pieces to rig one up: Then you can run it as long as you want.

87turboii you should be able to see the starter under the exhaust mani as you are looking down into the engine compartment (look between Ebox and exhaust mani with flash light). Use a hammer, or whatever, and tap on the starter as you are pushing the start button. If the starter contacts are...

If you are getting a loud click from the E-box, then your starter solenoid should be good. However, you should be able to get it to click every time you touch the start button. If you can't, then you may need to open up the Ebox to get to the solenoid. The solenoid sends power to the starter...

FYI I used my Hitch Carrier on my truck and drove across the dunes with my SJ hanging off the back. Parked at the beach and hand carried it to the lake (short walk). Rode all day and no one hassled us at all. AWESOME

I have been using a homemade gasket for years now without issue. Just trace the OD of the stock gasket and then cut the channels in it as per the PDF I posted. Good thing you discovered it early. Some guys have melted their gas tank and/or overheated the motor.

I have always been told to never use Gasket sealer on a Head Gasket. I guess there are two schools of thought on this. From Group K Website: HEAD GASKET SEALING - The amount of head gasket sealing area between the cylinder bores and the thru stud holes in the 550 piston port cylinder is very...

Gasket Definitely sounds like the wrong pipe gasket.

thanks, I'll give them a try

Does anyone know if (or where) I can buy just the parts necessary to seal the throttle shaft, without buying a whole Throttle Valve & Shaft Rebuild Kit? I just need the smaller washers and o-rings: (2) Super BN 44mm Throttle Shaft Seal-Mikuni part no. N167.126 (2) Super BN 44mm Throttle Shaft...
