Hi all, I have been out of the jet ski game for about 5 years after being very heavily into it with 2 heavily modded skis that I loved. My 16 year old stepson has been laying a big guilt trip on me as to how I got rid of the skis right before he was old enough to be able to take them out alone. I am giving serious thought to picking one up just to give him the experience of one while he is in high school, and I will have the power to teach him how to enjoy them properly and safely.
I am going to look at a 98 Polaris SLT 700 that I ran across that only has 37 hours on it. The guy told me the pumps in the carbs are bad, but it will fire up by hand priming the carbs until fuel runs out. How big a deal is it to rebuild these carbs, and is there anything else anyone can recommend I look out for when I go to look at the ski?
Here is a pic of it
Also, is this a 2 or 3 seater, I can't tell by the pic and am not familiar with the Polaris line?
I appreciate all comments!
