So here’s the dealio. Bought this 90 650 superjet for $800 needed a battery. Seller said it had been sitting for a few years, but had owned it for almost 15 years. Took it home and removed the plugs to have a looksie into the cylinders and saw that the top of the pistons was holding some rust (oh dear). Removed the carb and saw water sitting in the manifold. :aargh4:
So long story short..
So my options are
My financial situation is not ideal as I am 17 and headed to University next year. If anyone has any opinions or suggestions I am all ears. I’m still new to jetskis and would love some advice. Thanks
So long story short..
- inner crank bearings are sub-par, outer bearings very noisy
- rear piston had to be heated and smashed out, but surprisingly didn’t crack or show damage
- cylinders weren’t great but a nice hone job cleaned them up
- case is in good shape considering
- rings are seized solid into pistons
So my options are
- Order new crank and seals and run original top end (if rings are salvageable) and case with new crank while saving $$ for 701 top end
- Run the whole original works until it blows up
- Sit on the shore and watch my friends jetskiing
