yamakid13 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 There alright skis. They dont have the best handeling ive seen. But it looks to be in good shape for the year. Quote
official_style Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 its was $425 with the trailer. how fast should this thing go, its a 700cc ? Quote
wacko2000 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 its was $425 with the trailer. how fast should this thing go, its a 700cc ? Does it run? If so thats a good deal. It isnt going to be fast by any means, but just being on the water is fun enough. You wont be winning any races, but you will be having fun. And if it breaks down/sinks fuck it, it was only 400 bones Quote

It hurts more than you think to fall at those speeds. My friend has one and it tops at about 55. I still beat him on my 4-Tec GTI making 155hp. I believe that model has about 90 or so HP Quote
official_style Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 no its not running, according to the guy i bought it from, it was winterized in 03, and then sat till now. motor is really clean, plugs look good on it, i need to pickup a battery and change all the fluids. i dont know shit about jetskis, it did come with a clymers tho Quote

yamakid13 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 yea i figured for 4bills fuck it, better to learn on something cheap. can u start these things out of the water? Yes, but not for long. Id try to keep it under 20 seconds since it is cooled by water it sucks up. I always start my 2 stroke skis on the lift for 15 sec and give it a few revs to make sure it still starts Quote
official_style Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 is there a way to hook up a hose to run it out of water? Quote
broke as a joke Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 cool man, I say you got a hell of a deal! let us know how it works out, sorry, have no advice on running it for you.. Quote
Profilact Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Yeah you can get adapters or just make your own to run a water hose to it. BE CAREFUL. If you do, MAKE SURE that it is running before you turn the water on and that you also shut the water off before you shut the motor off. Failure to do so will swamp the motor. Quote
2001Stroker Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 I have that same motor in my ski. That blue hose in your pic, I have a hose hook-up that t's into it, with a shut off valve. Quote

The water has to be running before you run it. You also don't shut it off until after the motor's off. If not, you burn up the water pump. Quote
official_style Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 what do you guys think about the oil injection system on this thing? im thinking of just killing it and running premix, since its an old ski, and thats just one more thing that could go wrong. i dont really like the idea of not knowing the oil injection is fucked till the motor blows. so does toomey make pipes for these things lol stroker what kind of ski do you have? are these motors pretty reliable? Quote
2001Stroker Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 The oil injection changes the ratio with the rpm's. Personally, I don't like it. I got rid on mine. You can buy a block-off plate for it. It just goes into the front of the crank, just like a oil pump on a chevy motor. Here's some of my saved jet ski sites. http://www.rivayamaha.com/ http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_cata...equestid=488224 http://www.xtremeparts.net/jetski/main.cfm...CFSasGgodiwhw-Q http://www.jetworldpowersports.com/ EDIT: I have a 1996 Wave Venture 700cc. That's it on the right. That was me and my neighbor playing around behind my backyard. Quote
