Hello all,
I am a newbie this is my first post. I was doing some research on this jet ski I bought today 1991 Kawasaki 650 SC. All research resorts back to this forum, PWC. So I figured this is the place to learn more.
Well I took it out today, and it barely broke wake, and never really planed out. I am not sure what the problem is yet. Could be that it needs a tune up of course. I broke into it a little and found that on one of my spark plugs it was missing the little screw on cap that goes into the spark plug wire plug. So maybe I wasn't getting full spark in one cylinder. I also had to use starting fluid in order to get it to fire every time. Once a little spray in the carb it would run, and remain running. I am very new to the jet ski world, and I am a boat owner and motorcycle, and atv owner. So this part is fairly new.
So you are wondering what I might have paid? If so here goes, I paid $600.00 that came with a trailer and a cover for the ski. I think it was a good deal and maybe other people might disagree. Either way its mine and its paid. So first of all I wanted to say HI, and if anyone has any suggestions on what to look at I am open for discussion.
Oh and yes its the damn pink barbie color. That will change once I strip all the decals off and painter a different color!!!
Again, thanks and hope to hear some feedback and other thoughts and suggestions.
:thumbsup: Here are the only pictures I took so far.
1: just getting it home for the first time after purchase.
2: with the cover off.
