Hello all, just picked up a '99 1100 STX. Not new to boating, but new to PWCs. I'm here to get some input on what to do to get it running. Here is what I know so far:
-Hasn't been in the water for about 10 years, hasn't been started in about 3.
(Has been on a trailer in a garage all this time).
-Was told it needed a battery, oil/fuel flushed, and the carbs cleaned.
-We attached a battery jumper to it, and it turns over (display shows 31 hours).
-took the airbox cover off, and noticed the plastic velocity stacks are dry rotted, will need to source a new box.
Here is my plan of attach so far:
-find an original owners manual/repair manual
-drain/replace the oil and fuel
-replace all the fuel lines (is there an Ethanol safe fuel line yet?)
-change the plugs
-see if the battery will hold a charge (most likely not, might be original battery)
-find a new airbox
-give it a good cleaning
Any other areas I should look into? What issues are prone to this model?
