Glen thoughts on the 951? Been looking at a newer ski compared to my 97 GTX.

I prefer the carb version, simple and basic, cables instead of electronics and sensors, no electrical fuel pump or air compressor or injectors to all fail. Find any GTX with a 951 carb or a 787 engine, not the 787rfi tho, 787 carb or 951 carb. 951 can be a pain to work on cuz the carbs and starter are under the exhaust but generally you shouldn't have to mess with them that often. Maybe rebuild carbs every 4 to 6 years, and replace starter whenever it fails, rarely. The 787 carbs and starter are alot easier to get at as they arent under the exhaust pipe.

@@GCEXTREMEMN yeah I've enjoyed my 787. So I shouldn't be afraid to look at like a 98 XP or something? Big guy, so I'm afraid that it might be tipsy. Like the stability of the GTX but I think the XP would be more fun

@@SeanPennII try to avoid the 98 XPL. Its a one year wonder for the engine/mpem/pump. Go with a 99+ carb model.

@@SeanPennII i dont currently have any 951carb projects in my lineup, I do have a 2001 GTX 951 DI which is suffering from either fuel or air issues, one of the many reasons why i hate dealing with DI engines and prefer carbs. The engine has good compression and will idle fine, but goes into limp mode when you hit the throttle. Its either a Throttle Position Sensor issue, a Fuel Pressure/Pump issue, a fuel injectors issues, an air/fuel regulator issue, or an air compressor issue. Would sell this ski for $1500. Probably at most a $500 fix. Otherwise i have a 97 GTX 787 in my project lineup that needs a topend rebuild for sure.
