[@kevinjohnson9543]

Glad to hear you mention wave eater clips. The power valve dropping on the rear cylinder and contacting the piston is a very common issue on Yamaha 800 & 1200 engines. The problem with the Seadoo is a lean condition. Your good cylinder has a nice wash pattern on the dome. The dome of the bad cylinder is solid black meaning it was lean and ran too hot. The chipped edge on the exhaust side is a result of the too hot piston expanding and catching the edge of the exhaust port.

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thanks Kevin!! I was thinking the same thing and now thinking back when I opened up the carb I found the screws backed out halfway and was prob starving that cyl of gas! It all makes sense now!!

[@SeaDooEric]

The SeaDoo’s driveshaft movement is normal, the engine coupler locates the shaft in the center of the carbon seal

I got lucky on my wave runner, it was locked up.. But I unseized it and decided to run premix 40:1. It does good after an exhaust water jacket coupling replacement👍🏻 I was also told that you can only run premix in the carburated wave runners because fuel injected ones would burn up with premix.. Make sure you grease the grease certs for the starter and front drive assembly. Also a good idea to replace the grease in the rear drive bearings

[@TheHomePros6221]

that’s awesome man!! I’m glad u got it going!! I never heard that about injected models but I’m gonna check on it, thanks for the info

[@johnelewis203]

Congratulations on your 10,000 subscribers. My knowledge of 2 strokes is oil in the gas to keep them running. I'm getting a good idea what they are all about.

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thank you very much!! Yep oil in gas to prevent failure

[@Jydcuda73]

The build up is primarily from cheap oil. Use a good synthetic. Love the videos. Good job!

[@TheHomePros6221]

I beleive you are correct I found a bunch of cheap oil in the trailer box

[@msabia1]

You could run Yamaha ring free or another carbon reducing additive to the fuel , to keep the build up down

Nice with a battery only leak detecor! The ones I have had are both battery and air connected. Really great for a bunch of different leak searching scenarios including wind noice in cars. Just turn the car on, put the fan on and blow smoke towards all window gaskets, when there is a disturbance (in the force) you have a leak.

As far as lighting goes I try to hang a light over what I’m working on or beside it if the lighting isn’t good, however I have some pretty good lighting in the shed, I would highly recommend you get some nice led lighting for your garage, there is a company called hyperlight that makes some really good lighting and they contacted me to try out their lighting, I’m going to ask them if they might send u a light that u can promote on your channel or if not they aren’t crazy expensive but very good bright lights.

I highly recommend checking those bearings on your crankshaft. Ericksons machine and performance did a video spinning them up with air to test them. I destroyed good pistons by trying to remove the crankshaft end bolts with an impact wrench by leaving them on after pulling the heads once. Yes I had them wrapped in cloth they still broke the tabs off the lower ends. I got my GP1300R going and will be test riding today. You have a good shop setup.

You should hop them up a little bit and give them more power. Also, I suggest a sand trap of some sort, to help prevent sand in the cooling system.

It's too bad that you didn't know about the sand in the water jackets before you tore it down. You could have flushed it with water without the risk of getting sand in the crankcase. I suppose you could reinstall the cylinders and heads without the pistons, temporarily and flush it that way. I cannot believe that you made your own flywheel puller! That's impressive !Good show Man!

Thanks for the video. I notice that the vasket paper What covering 80 procent off your cooling water .. The gasket is/was wrong for this engine . og you look your video you can See that there is only a tiny hole for Coming water ...I Think meby is the hole area is free meby sand will pass trough and then Out again ..But with the Little hole sand will stuck and engine will not get enoff water passing that Little hole in the gasket .... make sure next time to look that the New gasket have same size hole as inside the engine block so engine can run fine and make sure to get all sand Out . ( meby a smaller hose to vacumcleaner) so it can go deeper. I Know its not you about the gasket . ITS anouther person .. 😊👍look video and you can See...Soon the engine will run fine again.. look forward to See your engine rebuild . Thanks a lot to follow you mate .. MICHELL. NORWAY .. 😊👍👍

I've had a few toy's in my day and that's one reason I just wouldn't let anyone ride my Banshee, because some people when they get out of sight and earshot they would dog it out redlining every gear an possibly rolling your shit you name it.. I get they're meant to ride hard but there's a difference between that and dogging the shit out of it because when someone let me ride there toy I completely respected it rode it like it was mine... That's another reason it's sketchy to buy stuff like that off people you don't know cause there's no telling how bad they ragged on it or what kind of maintenance and how often. Especially the toyz of today they all are stooooopid expensive....

That didn't run lean! it had so much wear that a ring hung exhaust port and after that friction melted it. If you run a inside mic on the one you say is good! You will find it has lots of wear in the area around ports! Egged so to speak. The areas with sand is just dead casting area and had nada to do with it. a over heated or no oil will have scoring about 360 degrees of piston. I have literally rebuilt 100's and 100's of the 96-97 GTX 787's. be sure and chamfer the ports even if they say is good. Also listen 200 hrs. on one of these 787 engines is like a truck with 200000 miles. wsm pistons are fine. Ive been a dealer with them over 20 years. As well as SBT. I bet in all the decades Ive made a living on these Ive only seen 2-3 seals rear and front go bad not counting polaris! Like other guy said shaft is fine. but dig in the pto balancer a ruber bumper is in there or whats left of it.

[@dgc940]

Also fyi on the rotary valve if you advance one tooth will give better low end or if you retard better top but each will rob from the other! The center seals on seadoo are what go bad but you cant change when this happens oil will leach into cylinders and smoke like heck when sitting a while or hydro lock the piston after sitting. The carbs have small filters under pump that stop up because seadoos water catch fuel filter has a bypass and are junk! don't use it put a inline on it. Also fyi the round metering carb diaphragms on the seadoo are same as Yamaha but Yamaha is way way cheaper! do not use the aftermarket kits they are garbage!! 99.9% time the fuel pump diaphragms are just fine! Hold them to the light no holes no problem. and 99% the time you can just reuse the needle and seats if you don't remove the seats!!!! remember the fuel pump is sucking so if a fuel line leaks it will suck air the on off reserve valves get stopped too and they are cheep new.
