I just got a free 89 js 440. it was pretty badly damaged and i just finished reconstructing the hull. I painted it grabber orange and you cant even tell there was a big hole in the side unless you lift the hood. Now im rebuilding the motor. Any body know of any mods that would make it a little hotter. Im thinkin of decking the head cuz i can get it done for free at my friends machine shop, but im unsure of how much to shave it and if it will even be worth my time? what would be the best things i could do to it. sorry no pics i broke my camera about a month ago.

Default 750 sts wont fire

Ran awesome all last season.
Trying to start it for the first time this season and it seems to have no spark.
I put new plugs in it and it has a new battery. Turns over fine and the plugs are wet whenI pull them out. Checked for spark and it is gettin none.
Where is the first place I should start to look?

Check the coil maybe? If not maybe the magneto is bad? The control box is another place to check, but I'm not familiar enough with it to make any good suggestions beyond that. Good luck!

im building a js650 kitski. for those of you who arent familiar with my terminology. im taking and original js model jetski (440) and replacing the engine with a 650 out of a 1991 sitdown kawasaki jetski. if any of you will notice my other forum i did run into a slight hangup. im trying to mate a 440 cdi box with the 650 need to know what colors match with the others and cant find any electrical diagrams.... thanks for any help if u have it. i will have pictures of the new paint going on the ski as soon as it makes it on there.
