1993 spx - PWC Forum: The best hang-out for Personal WaterCraft enthusiasts

New here and to jet ski's so be kind.

I recently purchased a 93 spx. Trying to get it ready for the spring. I have not gotten it in the water but it cranks right up and ideals great. I really have no knowledge of maintenance that needs to be done. It was not ridden last year, I have already drained and replaced the gas and oil, changed plugs, new battery, what else if any needs to be done.

I also noticed around the intake were it meets the motor a small gas leak. I don't have a manual but I assume there should be a gasket there which I can see no trace of. Its not a major leak but do I need to know anything before pulling it off and fixing it?

Thanks for any info.

You need an intake gasket! fairly easy to change, take about 30 minutes. I would do this before you run this in the water! Is it all OEM/original intake? If so, the easiest place to get a gasket would be eBay or your local Yamaha dealer. PM me the year model and make and I can see about an owners manual or service manual for you!

It is not the OEM intake. It was replace once upon a time and a single carb was put on. I am fairly sure it had dual carbs on it mainly because it says TWIN CARB on the side in big letters.

OK got that out of the way.

I am looking for a place to hook up a water hose. I have read you should be able to do this and keep the running longer than 30 secs. Any ideas on were it would be?

That ski did not come with the flush fitting. You can by a flush kit for it.

Ok today was the first day I took it out. I got it in the water and it started and I pulled up to the pier to pull my truck up. When I returned it would not start. It would just turn over and over. I tried starting fluid and it would just almost crank but never fully. I put it back on the trailer and pulled it out of the water and it started up no problem. I tried this 3 or 4 times and it will crank the 1st time in the water when I put it in but on the 2nd time it will not.

any ideas?
