cheap Kawasaki 1500 jetski rebuild

[@boydlakecrew772]

I was just wondering about this engine! Nice update! Now I want to watch the "lost footage" of putting the jugs on!

[@Jacobskibros]

It looked like a 3 stooges episode except not funny.

[@joebovino1172]

I have done it. Incredibly difficult

[@ricerneon399]

Left a like. Off to watch the video..

Same here

I like the music in the background

[@rickems8863]

I second that notion.

[@AndTodaysProjectIs]

Love the content! One thing I would like to see on one of those Kawi 15F motors is for someone to build a replacement Exhaust straight pipe section (for that final straight 1' long leg after the manifold. Those things are $300 and nearly impossible to find used for decent prices. They rot so badly at the end where the coupler connects. It shouldn't be that hard for someone with aluminum welding skills to create a sleeved aluminum pipe that necks down to the correct OD for the coupler...then tap in the water inlet...and maybe cut off the gasket end into a dissected slice...lay that template out and cut that template out of flat aluminum stock to weld to the double walled pipe. Then slap that pappy on with a stock gasket and whalaa....The $30 version of a $302 pipe. I mean...come on y'all, if anyone can do it it would be you guys ha! If not, I have to wait 20 months till I retire, then another year till I can finish classes to learn how to weld so how bout it?

I have already stolen Joel’s trick as well and it does work!!

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

When I comment from my phone or my other computer, it comes through as a different Joel Arseneault.... It's bad enough there is one of me.... but TWO ! Haha. Man, You made short work of that engine... and I totally didn't expect you to he able pick it up and walk away with it at the end ! I'm really excited for this build. Hey, you know what else I just thought of.... Compared to a two cycle... it's really easy to boost a 4 cycle, and with EFI it gets even easier.

[@joelarseneault2581]

Awesome!! I love it. I didn’t get notified about this video, and at a quarter to 5 am I was like “wait... today was Thursday and I didn’t see a Jacob video !?” I’m going to do a video to show the internet how to install multi cylinders the easy way. Even the easy way isn’t easy ... just easier. Thanks for the shoutout. That engine looks great ! Well done on the build. I know nothing about the electrical on these (specifically) so I hope you aren’t counting on me for help. 😂 Keep up the great work and awesome videos. I’m lovin it.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Another Joel, this could get confusing 😂

[@vivogarage]

you can bypass the on/off switch on the harness. the switch just closes the connection to send power to the ECU (red and Black wire) The other two wires (White and red w/ white) just create a loop on the ground block. If you want to bypass this, you can connect the red and black wires together or just leave it in the ON state and tuck it away too. As for the other item you were asking about, I am not sure if the display is required to run. I know the display has a separate harness run that the engine part of the harness and it all connects back to the ECU.

[@Jacobskibros]

Thanks for the info. It will be interesting when I start putting it in a ski and hooking stuff up.

[@rickems8863]

@@Jacobskibros don't forget the oil . Pre lube them cam lobe .

[@gasousman]

Did you forget the tensioner?

[@tattoojunk666]

Supercharge or turbo it...put it in a stx15 body and u have a badass rough water ski...these hulls are badass...

[@rickems8863]

Just, another quality video by Jacob.. as I've grown to expect from him! I am super stoked to see this 1500 live again if I remember correctly that sucker was seized solid so she should be skipping across the Surf in the Sea rat or something similar soon. PS love the music and ahh , it was pretty Suave

[@extremeshok7851]

Thanks for the brilliant video

[@Jacobskibros]

Thanks for checking it out.

[@tattoojunk666]

Dont let me down Jacob...turbo/supercharge it🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 Some dude at Kawasaki dealer has build a prototype for a stx 300f u can find it on youtube...that thing is the most badass ski ever made...the stx has been kawasakis factory racing hull for yearssssss for a reason...i bet u will outrun the supercharged gp from josh...r&d rideplate u can find all the goodies for it...

[@chrisglassey8585]

I wanna see this engine go in something cool. Hope it rips.

[@sadiesel]

Great video, I am doing my first jetski project in Abu Dhabi - Ultra 250x - the inside of the cylinders wasn't pretty when I opened it up, and the slow rebuild process has started. I am really hoping it is worth doing, as I have heard that these Ultra's are extremely unreliable...

[@red2g]

Did you ever get it running? That would be dope

[@joecook3223]

hahaha using hose clamps for a ring compressor is so janky. but hey, if it works. saves you having to split the cases and undo the conrods as well so that's a bonus. nice work as always.

[@gasousman]

Do you know how I can tighten my crank bolt with out buying the rotor holder? I'm not confident using the rope in the cylinder trick, worried the piston assembly will bend.

[@rowdyaristo4721]

That looks just like the moter in my 08 ninja zx6r . thay sell the block off plates for the valve cover on eBay for 15$ i put them on my moter that worked great

[@dustinhess7711]

Become a legend an put it in the x2 or break the internet and put it in the peanut butter an jammer

[@richyfranco2023]

Hi I like you content, I would like to know what is the torque specs for cylinder bolts camshaft bolts. thank you so much

[@ogdobber]

there is a 50/50 chance you have the cam timing 180 out, because you didnt check that. iirc at tdc the timing chain is 1/2 link short of clearing the top of the head. 180 out and the whole link clears. then you count the links between the cam lines and its like 10 and a half or 13 and a half (i dont remember)

[@Jacobskibros]

I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying. Also some little details probably didn't get filmed. The cams I have are marked with intake or exhaust on each dot so they shouldn't be in backwards. I know some cams aren't labeled on the marks.

[@ogdobber]

Put the motor at tdc and note the timing CHAIN location. Now spin the motor 1 turn to tdc once again and notice the timing chain location is 1/2 chain link different. (And the cams will be slightly advanced or retarded depending where you started) Spin the motor 1 turn again and we are back to “normal”. The 15f motor has a “frontside” and a “backside” , and timing the cams to the backside the thing won’t quite run right... like I said , there is a 50-50 chance you got it right

[@Gmoney_72]

Nice. Get is shoved in something. Summer is COMING

[@mickotoole4795]

That cylinder is dust it's roasted 🤣🤣🇨🇮🇺🇸👍🤣🤣🤣

[@matthewhellman790]

You should put the dasa and that fancy pump in B.O.B. Or would that involve chewing up the pump?

[@Jacobskibros]

It would involve chewing up the pump. I've been trying to order the parts to bring back the dasa.

[@matthewhellman790]

@@Jacobskibros To bad, that 920 would really get that thing spinning. Excited for that build though.

[@Jacobskibros]

@@matthewhellman790 Yeah but do you think this bob would be good enough for the dasa? Also the pipe situation kinda crosses out that engine....unless I cut some big holes in the side of the ski.

[@FirstLast-tx3yj]

Do jetskies come stock with drysymps?? Their oil pans look like dry sump pans and they surely slush oil the most while riding Please let me know how they dont have oil starvation

[@123aznbeast]

I think the earlier 4stroke yamahas were the only ones to ever have dry sump oil systems.

[@FirstLast-tx3yj]

@@123aznbeast then its pretty impressive how they dont have starvation

[@jonbakerocbpro8802]

Is that the same motor in the sxr1500?

[@Jacobskibros]

Pretty much.

[@williamnewsom749]

So why diddnt you show how you installed the cylinders?.....?.? Either you had somebody else do it for you...... Or somebody helped you .....
