Jet ski's

[cdwood37]

i bought a couple of not running jet ski's for 1000 bucks and need some help on them. One is a tigershark 900 that is oil injected. I took off the carbs and they are fine and the reeds look good to. The compression is at 110 pounds. I can crank it over forever and it doesn't even try and start, what could the problem be any help would be appreciated. the other is a 92 yamaha 500cc two stroke premix. It will start but it revs to the moon right away unless i close the choke and then it may die, but starts right back up, i think it just needs a new carb seems like the one on it is not working right, any info or opinions would be very much appreciated.

on the tiger shark do a compression test . is it getting spark? my bud had one and the tether was bad. and the kawi i would try to clean the carb sounds like the slide is stuck good luck with them

Hi there:

 

You may want to try the folks at PWCToday.com for help. SBT (www.sbtontheweb.com) is a company in Florida famous for refurshing two-stroke PWC engines. SBT bought PWCToday sometime last last year. I'm sure you can get free help there. If nothing else send the engine back to those guys and they are supposed to do wonders - for a price. I've seen pics and videos of what some people do to their machines... :-)

 

Yes, I realize you are trying to do it on the cheap, but this is all I can do to help... :-)

 

Good Luck!

Yeah if all else fails SBT is great. Just put in a refurb'd motor in my '94 Yamaha WaveBlaster, top notch people & product. PWCToday is like the BansheeHQ of the PWC world.. they are really good at helping over there.
