BUYING CLAPPED OUT JET SKIS OFF MARKETPLACE, SITTING FOR YEARS, WILL THEY RUN? ( Part 1 )

[@davidm7824]

You can buy repair manuals for these jet skis. I bought one for mine and it saved me a lot of money from having the dealer repair it. The manual shows how to check and repair everything on it, even how to rebuild the engine. Well worth the price to buy one.

[@TheHomePros6221]

[@thomaspaccione7214]

The Seadoo has 3 2 stroke oil lines, one small one to each carb intake and one large one that goes to the bottom of the block. If you are going to premix the gas, you may not be getting enough oil into the bottom end. Engine may not run for long. Best bet is to restore the origional oil system. Good luck with them, they cleaned up nice

I will tell you the early Seadoo and Yamaha's were notorious for the Honeycomb/aka resinator fails and when they do it restricts flow through the exhaust, they sell what is called a D-Plate which eliminates that resinator but still allows back pressure, just keep that in mind

For future refrence the yamaha gauges are supposed to do exactly what they are doing , because they do not have a battery switch or key etc , when you crank it turns it on , when motors off it goes into sleep mode

[@TheHomePros6221]

mine wasn’t cranking at all with the switch, the dash has what’s called a pass lock system and it’s common to go bad so the start button won’t work, once I swapped the wires I bypassed the pass lock and now the switch works along with the gauges and everything works like factory and still has the security code.

That Large oil line on the sea doo lubes the rotary valve. You need to make sure to keep it full and check it every few rides. Dont think it uses a bunch of oil

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thanks for the tips! I really appreciate it

[@mikeparker7243]

never run it without those oil lines hooked up! Unless your premixing your gas. Ours are on 50:1 premix. I got a block-off plate for ours. The dash is typical. Won't be on unless your putting your code in or the engine is running. Other than that its always off. Oil injection is proportional to engine rpm. More oil will come out at higher rpms. Very good design. People that have had issues, don't maintain their oil system like they should. Ours have replacement engines and it calls for premix instead of using oil injection for whatever reason.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I never ran it without the lines connected, if I did I put the oil in the gas and premixed it

[@james94582]

For the Yamaha, adjust the idle in the water after it is warmed up. Also the display is operating normally, once you turn off the ski the display shuts down pretty quickly. Good move keeping the oil injection, the pumps never fail, just the lines

If the wave runner 800 is similar to my 760 there is a blue wire connection under the front storage bin that when you disconnect it and reset the code should enable the dash I believe. Once the ski is running you can plug the blue wire connector back together.

Sounds like you got a cracked Reed, oil injection is only a lil bit of a spurt, but if you delete it you save a few pounds, if you pull carbs on any 2 stroke, you should also be pulling and inspecting the Reeds and Reed cage as well since it's only a few more bolts to rem9ve since it's right behind the carb

[@TheHomePros6221]

That could be possible! I should have checked it

[@fridder.]

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but I had the same model (04 xlt 1200), and the dash turns on when you hit the start button, then turns off a few seconds after turning the motor off. If the motor is off, it normally won't stay on past a few seconds.

I think something is broken between the battery and the low amp starting circuit, I would trace the positive from the battery through the low amp wires until you come to a break. The dash comes on bc the stator is powering it while charging the battery.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I checked every wire, the dash is common to go out like this, I did get it working, check out my other vids on them

[@fishingchallenged3056]

Short on start button. 12v isn't going to Soleniod coil or coil is burnt and shorting. This would explain dim dash, Soleniod not activating, and start button not working. I think anyways

[@TheHomePros6221]

The solenoid is bad on the Sea-Doo the Yamaha works perfect now

[@justinsnyder6256]

I do belive those zipties for the oil injection need to be a certain thickness to pinch the line. It seems like a crap design but it works well and usually the lines get hard and need replaced before zipties.

[@TheHomePros6221]

They should have use a metal crimp clamp, Yamaha is notorious for low hour engines like this one being ruined due to crappy lines and zip ties

[@rainorshine6702]

on tractors there is a ecm or computer chip...usual flat brake pad looking shape with wires going to it on bottom or edge of engine...sometimes under dash and causes your issue

If memory serves the Yamaha should have 120 psi compression and the Sea-Doo should have 150. 90 is low. Did you test it again after you ran it for a while? Does the Yamaha have an air box or flame arrestors? It might run lean without them. I wouldn't use old 2 stroke oil. I've seen it gel in the lines. You need to check/replace the oil in the jet pump.

[@TheHomePros6221]

yes I think the comp is a little low I tested after running and it was even lower so I think it’s time for a topend, it has the arrestors and the cover, oil is also new

[@arielmanto1]

What diameter hose did you use and model, brand? thanks good job

[@TheHomePros6221]

it was off ebay I can’t remember but I think I used 1/4” for the fuel lines here is the link you will need different sizes for oil lines..ect but this is the best fuel hose I’ve used - www.ebay.com/itm/132891803793

Also our Yamaha really doesn’t like to start itself. Even running well it like carb fluid to help it start as the cranking for 10 seconds when it’s cold really taxes the battery. Once she’s warm starts just fine

[@TheHomePros6221]

Have u checked the compression it sounds a lil low

[@74nova36]

@@TheHomePros6221 they were both 119 psi dead on, battery powered cranks with no throttle while doing it. I’m usually looking for matching and over 120 with a mechanical starter. Some small boat motors with pull-start only register 105 unless you spin the flywheel with a drill. Consistency is key. Sometimes old motors will bring the compression up after the rings unstick

[@74nova36]

@@TheHomePros6221 I’m almost certain it’s the carbs but I’m not a fan of pulling them if they’re capable of WOT, also I’ve never had a 2 stroke that enjoyed cold starting. It will start fine but I feel it doesn’t pump fuel fast enough without excessive cranking so we pop it off with carb cleaner to save 10-15 seconds of battery juice. These starters kill the small batteries the jetskis come with in no time. Even new and charged up.

@@74nova36 you are very correct! I did however do another compression test and the rear cyl on the Yamaha is down to 60psi… time for a rebuild 😫

That Yamaha jet ski will start every time, premix that Yamaha and it will last forever. I have 3 wave venture and a 1100 wave raider. I have had them since my kids was like 12, my kids are over 30 now and the grandkids ride the skis

Great stuff. So in the end what is the easiest to work on and the simplest? Also do you prefer two stroke or four? And what brand do you like best. Thanks.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I like the Yamaha because it’s newer/cleaner..ect but I do like the newer seadoos that are 4 stroke, I actually plan on maybe selling these and getting a four stroke they are way more reliable

[@johnhicks9529]

And with it not starting by the push button switch control.

[@TheHomePros6221]

yea the seadoo has a bad solenoid

[@mattjohnson8718]

90psi is definitely low but 120 seems decent. Was that a dry or wet compression check? May be able to get away with a new set of rings and a dingleball hone.

[@TheHomePros6221]

your correct unfortunently u can’t hone these cause they have a nikasil coating in the cyl
