Hey fella's (and ladies) Ive been browsing the fourm and decided to sign up to get some help. I purchased 2 stand ups off of craigslist about 2 weeks ago, I paid 800 for both and and trailer so I figured they were a good buy, The first ski started right up and seemed to run fine, when we went to start the second one bc of the battery it wouldnt turn over. So I paid the guy, took them home and charged the batteries, Now the one that started i took to the river, put it in, started it up and off I went. I rode about 300 yards up river, turned around then came back (water was cold) when i put it back on the trailer I noticed it was smoking under the hood. Got it home and could smell burnt fiberglass. So i hooked the hose up to flush it and it was clogged with sand. How do I get the sand out? Is it just from the guy not flushing it or is there something that is broken that I need to replace?
The second ski, turns over, and has spark. But it wont draw fuel, the guy told me that he just replaced the fuel lines, so do i need to force the air out? I put a little bit of fuel in the carb and it started right up not sure where to go with that one.
So any advice on the ski's would help, to be honest with you I just dont know where to start, I dont want to take things apart that I dont need to or jack around with things that I dont need too.
Thanks in advance guys!!!!
