Have a FX cruiser that was banged around during hurricane Ike. When found 5 weeks later the engine compartment was still filled with salt water.
Pulled it out (was a royal pain in a marsh filled with storm debris) and called the owner. He doesn't want it. Said it would cost more than its worth to fix so now I have it at my house as a restoration project.
After doing the basic flooded engine drill I noticed rusty water coming out of cylinders 3 & 4, shined a light in the spark plug hole to see the cylinder heads were pitted. SOB! Throttle body also has a good deal of corosion but nothing too serious.
Now I'm in the hunt for a new motor. You guys and gals know of anyplace inparticular that stands behind thier work?
Good day,
just acquired new to me 05 gp800r and 05 xlt1200 from a friend who wanted them gone. both with bad top ends. My first two PWC ever, and I'm pushing 50.
I'm pretty handy, but no mechanic. Disassembly went very well, straightforward. found problems with low compression.
maybe this...
So I bought these two yamaha gp 800s yesterday for 400 bucks with a double trailer. The guy that I bought them from said he got them from a buddy back in 2013 and he just said they didnt run. I figured what the heck the trailer is worth the 400 to me. The skis are a 1998 and a 2001. Does anyone...
While changing the spark plugs preparing my ski for this coming season, I noticed corrosion on each plug between the drive hex and the rubber boot attachment area. What could be the cause? Thank you.
I looked on email and tried to use Google to get the service manual for my 2018 Yamaha VX Cruiser VX1050A without any success. Any suggestions on where I can get this? I am ok with either digital or a physical copies.
I have a 2006 VX110 Deluxe that I sent to a repairman to replace my Impeller because it was running rough. Just got it back and now it will not go over 5000 RPMs at 7mph. It seems to feel like it is in L Mode, although the L Mode light is not on and when I turn on the ski it only beeps twice...
