Other Starter out with Stock Pipe?

[djkorn1]

HOW THE F do you get the starter out of a SJ with a stock pipe??????????????? :skull2:uch::frown:

Ready to sell and get my wife an SXR. This thing SUCKS to work on........:twak:

btw....square 650 but I think same pipe as a 701...

You don't. The exhaust manifold needs to come off

 

[WaveDemon]

stock sucks.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Think you can just remove the elbow of the stock pipe.

 

[djkorn1]

I did...still didn't fit. POS yamaha engineers......

 

[Penken]

thats cause they enigneered it to last for ever.

 

[djkorn1]

I wish it did, then I wouldn't have the motor out and having to buy an entire gasket kit to replace the starter.

 

[loictahiti]

You don't. The exhaust manifold needs to come off

or remove the left bed plate if you don't want change the manifold gasket, juste unplug and raise up a little the engine, easy, quick and and save money gasket, i've done that 2 days ago

looks like the kawi guy needs to have an expert comme over and help.

 

[Scorn800]

Yamaha sucks

 

[Matt_E]

FWIW, you can pull it out without removing engine or manifold if you have a b-pipe.

Thanks, I am going to do what loictahiti said.... I don't want to wait for gaskets...Gonna turn the motor over and pull off half the bed plate.

....and yes Smurf, I do need a SJ expert. Madmat already helped me diagnose and told me I can pull the motor and set it on some 2x4's on top of the hull without taking the electrical off...

Hopefully there is enough wire for me to flip it over on the boards....better get wrenching.. It is out in my driveway and if it rains, I'm f'd.

 

[Matt_E]

Taking the electrics out involves removing two nuts.....that's it.

 

[SurferSmurf]

a good yamaha wrencher should be able to get it done in about 2 hours i would think. kawi guy maybe a day or two. have fun. you gonna make it out tomorrow?

I just replaced the starter in a old waverunner 3 in under an hour flip it over on it's side inside the ski and pull the bedplate. I don't know if there is enough room in a SJ but I would try before trying to lift it out.

Just put a motor in a WR 3, pretty sure a superjet has more room under the hood, seriously....

I have another to do this week. This is the year for starters..... I have put about a dozen starters in this year. This one has the original oil injection... I don't know if there is enough slack in the oil line but I will try. I might go ahead and remove the exhaust in case flipping it won't work. I know I don't want to remove the whole thing.

I pulled the motor and set it on a 2x12 on top of the hull (kept all the wires attached)..pushed it on its side and pull the bed plate. wasn't too bad. That stock pipe on the other hand is a whore if you want to get it off.
