I was exhausted in that video not only because we put in such long hours but because I was taking mental notes and trying to learn as much as I could the whole time. When I did get it out on a lake the next day I used some of my newfound knowledge, though it was misapplied at first. I had started it before i left my home but it stopped running quickly. Not wanting to run it out of water I felt that was good enough to confirm it still started. Then when I put it in the water it didn't start. Well it turned over but didn't pop off. I pulled the seat off and checked a wire that is a little iffy. It seemed intact. Then I took the air cover off thinking maybe a little more air would help. It didn't. I then took out the spark plugs to just see if I could tell anything from doing that. I sort of dried them off a little, reinstalled, and no luck. I looked over the troubleshooting section of the owner's manual but it gave no useful advice. Then my son asked me what's that for? pointing to the fuel selector dial. Then I remembered that we shut off the fuel before I left that night (in the video above). I turned the fuel selection to the on position and it ran right away. I probably won't forget to check that again. The craft ran very well after that and it was a great payoff for the long days. Thanks again to GC Extreme for the above and beyond help. I literally couldn't have done it without him. P.S. I want to lean how to make that Philippine style chicken that his family made. Delicious!

@johnnyrizzo805710 күн бұрын
question, what does the shaft do? my shaft broke off in the impeller, I made it back to the dock, but it was hard to get the ski going. the impeller was spinning fine, I had to easy out the broken shaft and tap the threads with an 18 x 1.50 tap. I rebuilt the pump last night with new bearing and seals, I am wondering what that shaft controls and why the ski was hard to move even thought the impeller was spinning but that shaft was not spinning.

I restored the finish on my 95 XP with that. Worked great. I first removed the oxidation and staining on the hull with bar keepers friend in the powder form and scrubbed it with an ultra fine scotch brite which worked excellent. The oxalic acid in the bar keepers friend works wonders.

Yes. Im still suffering some pain, like twisting and turning and getting out of bed hurts like hell sometimes, and getting up out of chairs after sitting hurts. Ive been out on the skis twice now this summer, climbing back on even with my boarding steps is a pain, but riding itself is ok. And yes everyone was very helpful. Once they got me to the beach my gopro literally died haha. I think it was because professional ski rider Mark Gomez was there to help lol. Later that evening Mark Gomez even helped me walk to the bathroom. My buddy Scott was the one who helped tow me and my ski to shore, he's the one hollering "Glenn!" when Im holding onto the other guys standup ski. The issue is, they all wanted to protect my head, but i kept telling them it was my a-ss that hurt lol as they dragged me and laid me upon the rocky beach shore hahaa. I didn't sleep any that nite in the tent, had a horrible 4 hour drive home i was in so much pain and so tired i almost didnt make it. But i had lots of help packing up my camp gear, tent, and even had guys ride my skis to the ramp and load then up. Everyone was very helpful. I just wished i would have called my parents to xome get me and have my dad drive my rig home and i wish i would've went to the emergency room sooner. My Aflac extra accidental insurance denied my claim cuz i didn't go in until 3 days later on Tuesday to get xrays. But my regular insurance covered alot and my health savings account also helped. I have never ever broken anything before and what luck would i have the first thing i break at age 39 is my butt bone haha.

On ebay theres several that are listed as good and working. Remember all 717 and 657 use the same starter...the 787 and 951 are different. So theres a wide range of ski models that will work. Most GTI were 717, many GTS and some older SPX. Hope this helps. www.ebay.com/itm/116064930211?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ciEj-xspTl2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=rdSplSM8TVe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

can you convert a 717 single carb to dual carb setup? and dose it give you more performance? also can you convert a 787 RFI to a 787 carb setup. thanks great info videos by the way.
@GCEXTREMEMN3 ай бұрын
Yes on the 717 carb swapping, you can go back and forth, u just need the right parts. Youll need the rotary valve and the cover and intake, arrester filter, and choke cable for which ever one youll going with. Basically just pull everything off the dual carb engine. As far as it giving you more performance, i doubt its that noticeable. Single carb is cheaper and easier to rebuild. Single carb rebuild kit is like $70, a dual kit is $140. No i dont believe you can convert a 787 RFI to a carb setup.
