Tune-Up: What parts/services to perform?

[Adam E.]

I'm looking to tune up my 93' WB1 before the weather starts getting consistently warm again. After searching, I couldn't find a definitive list of tune up checklist items. The ski ran great last year and the only reason I put it away was due to a cracked pipe bolt. I plan on servicing/replacing the following:

-Clean/Rebuild Carb
-Drain old fuel
-New Fuel Filter
-Replace spark plugs
-New battery

Any other suggestions for things that should be replaced as preventative maintenance?

-Check reeds while you have the carb off
-check throttle shaft on carb for side to side play
-grease midshaft housing (if theres a grease nipple)
-check midshaft & jet pump bearing condition
-Check prop condition

-Depending on where u ride i like to flush the cooling system for sand and particulates that could potentially cause a blockage or buildup reducing flow, i also use an airblow gun.

-Leak test?

Not sure if i missed anything else.

How do you check the jetpump bearing condition - do you pull it? Also any reccomendations for intermediate shaft grease?

Yes pull it. & Any automotive grease should work!

I personally wouldn't take the carbs apart unless you are having an issue. Those things are temperamental and can be messed up pretty easy.

If it ran great before winter then add fuel, change the plugs, charge the battery, and go ride it.

Yes pull carbs clean em rebuild em, they arent a pain at all? You definitely want to get some old guitar strings and clean through the holes make sure its blockage free.

Wrist pin bearings and piston rings. Check the impeller and send it to impros if it is banged up.
