JUNK JET-SKIS LEFT ROTTING UNDERWATER FOR YEARS... WILL THEY RUN?

[@The_Home_Pros]

I would have liked to fit everything in one video but with all of the noise from clearing and machines it’s been kinda hard to record lately. Thanks for watching guys!

[@TheDisorderly1]

You had rust down the spark plug threads, I'm thinking the last guy had the coil packs out and the plugs loose and left it apart in the rain for a couple years. Probably just slapped it back together to sell.

[@chugaaa]

To me looks like didn't winterized properly...water locked maybe?

[@The_Home_Pros]

@@chugaaaI read in the manual that if you tow these and don’t crimp the water inlet hose then it will fill the engine with water. I’m wondering if they towed it to a dock or somthing and it filled with water and then sat or they flipped it and it hydrolocked and let it sit from that. The guy said these were his daughters skis🤷

[@The_Home_Pros]

@@TheDisorderly1you are probably rite but why did he have it taken apart to begin with? Maybe they flipped it and it hydrolocked?

Couldn't see anything in the cylinders because of the bright sky.

Wow, I really thought those cylinders were toast, then I thought the rings and pistons were toast. Then you got 200 psi! Crazy. Love your videos man.

[@lukepaul2882]

I wasn't expecting you to go that deep into the engine, but I enjoyed watching you tear into it and get it back together! Fantastic job! That engine's gonna purr like a kitten. Can't wait to see part 2!

[@The_Home_Pros]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Andy!

[@jimw6991]

First time watching, very nice job. I was shocked when you hit 2oo psi on all three cylinders. Normally piston ring manufacturers specify to use a tool to expand and position on piston so you appear to have gotten away with one. What did you use to clean rings and piston ring grooves? Other thing is permatex and others make engine assembly lube. I would use alot of it on cam lobes, connecting rods and crankshaft bearing journals especially. On dry start you can do alot of damage before oil film develops between wear surfaces. You can't use too much assembly lube in my experience.

[@benduker]

And the title definitely took inspiration from Andrew's "Buying the cheapest WaveRunner on Marketplace" video, lol. Not that I'm complaining, his jet ski / boat videos are some of my favorite. Darrell is a lot more methodical / careful than Andrew's "I'm just going to keep cranking and banging on this engine until it runs" mentality though.

Another brilliant video. I love your repair. Refuse, recycle ethos. Being that it's a marine grade motor, the only step I'd do differently is to use some copper grease on the spark plugs to prevent any moisture such as water ingress or condensation corroding the threads which will make maintenance further on in it's life a little easier. Can't wait to see part two. Have a great weekend and a British subscriber checking in

The 4 stroke one was sunk definitely sucked water inside and they just couldn’t get it out because they never took the spark plugs out and then turned it over they probably fried or just thought the starter was fried and I would definitely fix it that happens a lot and unfortunately some people just let them sit afterwards and it’s an easy fix if done properly and asap but taking it apart that was definitely what it needed cleaning and new fluids and head gasket and it’s probably gonna run good but the other one I hope is not 4stroke bc if it’s hit something hard they will bend internals more often than 2stroke engines just like the lawnmower engines with pushrods so when u hit a stump ur out a blade and a engine

Or maybe let us know at the end of part 2 - assuming you get it working and back in the water - of which I have no doubt given what I've seen so far! Reason I'm asking is at what cost does all this amount to against maybe buying a 2nd hand working Jetski, or maybe refurbished parts elsewhere - and I know its difficult to quantitify your own labour, plus you'll get hopefully a low hours, known quantity jetski at the end (assuming you don't sell it that is).
