Hi im new to this site and this year i bought a 1996 ZXi 900 w/ a trailer for 700 bucks(my neighbors love me :thumbsup when i got it this year it was loud... and when it idled it would seem kinda klunking...when driving it it sounded like a a very loud growling cat lol....but yest when i had it out for the 5th time this year the tone changed. Its now very quiet and it still has all the power it did before...its almost like its a totaly diff motor it idles alot calmer and does not show any signs of being broken...i was told the year before last it was not run and last year i took it out like 3 times... what happened, did i get all the junk out of it because it sat for so long? I dont know how loud this motor is supposed to be but it was LOUD... any thoughts??? also the speedo and trim dont work :laugh::thumbsdown:
ok today i had it on smooth water and there is def power loss...i was unable to notice last time i had it out due to the fact there was alot of waves...my dad said it may be because the spark plugs need changing would this make it run diff and make it loose power. This is my first year owning a jet ski so i have no idea whats going on
I changed the plugs and tested compression. It was the plugs they were fried, i ran 87 oct and thats what killed them, also the compression is fine 123,123,124 and now it runs like new. ALso, water is coming out of that little hole on the side to show its running the way it should thanks for the info guys
I just purchased a bn44 carb and intake for my ski and I had a spacer on my bn38 carb and when I go to bolt it on the fuel pump hits the head is there a different spacer I need to get thats thicker or do I need to get a different intake.
Hello all,
I am trying to do a top end job on my 1996 900ZXI and I can’t get the cylinders off the rest of the block. I’ve tried banging it with a mallet and a 2x4 and plenty of PB blaster. Also can’t find a place to get a pry bar on it. Does anyone have a better idea or way to get theses off...
Greetings All,
I am having a strange issue with my 2008 Kawasaki STX-15F Jetski; when I go to run it in the morning; it runs great, and there is water coming out of the cooling port; after running it for about 1/2 - 1 hr, and run at idle, like I would do to dock it, steaming hot water spits out...
Hello all: I have wrote a few post on this subject. I have some new thoughts on this. I have now replaced every input signal device that the ski has with the exception of TP sensor, but have metered it out and it says it good, replaced all injectors, all fuel lines and filter. Also stupid I...
I have an 2000 Ultra 150, I assume same motor as 2000 STX. I always premix about an ounce of oil to the gallon in addition to the what is provided by the oil pump, just for insurance when running at high rpm, because I understand the pump to be variable with speed but I worry about it providing...
