Need some help with my 1990 SJ

[Bryan]

Hello, I'm new here, and new to jet skis. I was given this 1990 superjet a year or so ago, and it was all in pieces, with a blown engine. I have been slowly putting it back together. I put a 701 engine in it. Now I'm trying to figure out how to hook the cooling lines back up. There are these two cooling lines on the back of the hull pictured here....

Heres the two lines in question, I'm assuming the bilge pump hooks up to the line on the left side of the ski, and the rubber hose to the other one, but then where does that rubber hose go?

Sorry if this is confusing, maybe someone has some good pictures of their stock SJ 650, I can take a look at to figure out the routing of these cooling lines?

Also I have a question about the Bendix gear, it gets stuck in the "out" position, and it will not go back down unless I tap it on the work bench, so I'm assuming its shot?

Your picture is correct the right side is the cooling water from the pressure side of the pump, it will connect to the exhaust manifold. The other is the siphon bilge that you will hook the hose with the 90 degree elbow and bilge strainer to. Be sure and shim the engine properly so that the couplers are aligned since you are upgrading the engine. Good luck with your project!

Oh yeah, welcome to the X

Thanks a lot I just found it, its kinda hard to get to. Another question This picture shows the cooling line from the manifold going to the cylinder head. What is it that screws into that?

That is the inlet for the flush kit.
