    Want To Buy Need 1997 Seadoo Speedster Tach

    Im looking for a 1997 Seadoo Speedster tach,. White faced.

    Tach quit working

    It seems that there are to sets of wires to each tach. The connector with just 2 wires must be the signal. The right tach doesn't work but when I move that signal wire to the left tach and the left tach works fine. Must be the gauge. Does anyone out there have a 1997 speedster or sportster tach...

    Tach quit working

    I have what I think is an odd one. I have a 1997 Seadoo Speedster with twin 717. This weekend I pulled out the speedometer because it doesn't work and I'm going with a GPS speedo. After I got it out I decided to fire up the boat to make sure everything else was working. The left tach works fine...

    Sportjet 120 ignition

    Ok.. on to my next issue. The boat was starting fine after the flywheel and stator replacement. The shifter was very hard so I took it out and found the shifter to be fine when the cables were removed so I lubed up the cables and it is much better. However I went to start it and it wont turn...

    Sportjet 120 ignition

    So I can close this out I thought I've give an update. I received the flywheel yesterday. I had already installed the red four wire stator, dropped the flywheel on and spun the motor over and just like that I have beautiful spark once again. I sure am looking forward to being on those Florida...

    Sportjet 120 ignition

    Just to add one more thing. My 120 is actually a 1997 120xr. There is a plate on top of the engine with this info on it.

    Sportjet 120 ignition

    So I went home and tested the stator with an ohm meter. it read zilch. I went ahead and pulled off the flywheel and found that all the magnets were knocked loose and half 0f one of them was gone. There was physical damage to the stator. I went down to my local repair facility / salvage yard and...

    Sportjet 120 ignition

    Thanks to all for the input. To date I have disconnected the main wiring harness, no spark. Disconnected the yellow and black wires for the rev limiter, no spark. I have purchased a fly wheel puller and it will be coming off this weekend. My plan is to test the stator and perhaps the trigger...

    Sportjet 120 ignition

    Hello and thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I bought a 1996 Sea Ray Sea Rayder F-16 with a 120 Sport Jet. I was running the other day and pulled up to the dock and shut it off. It never ran again. I had shut the motor off with the toggle switch but failed to turn off the key for...

    Sport jet carbs

    Ok I went to buy carb kits and the guy wants me to give him the numbers off the carbs but couldn't tell me where the numbers are located. Anyone know where these numbers are. I'm hoping I don't have to remove the carbs to get to them.

    Sport jet carbs

    Thanks for all the help. I may just tackle those rebuilds myself.

    Sport jet carbs

    As with most it seems my carbs on my 1996 Sport jet 120 need attention. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that sells rebuilt carbs. It would be easier just to swap them out then to find out the hard way that I'm no good at rebuilding them. Also my motor is extremely hard starting. I ran...

    Sportjet 120 Flush

    Thanks I'll check it out.

    Sportjet 120 Flush

    It does and thank you. I'm now wondering if the flush kit installed at the top of the motor is used to eliminate gas vapor in the exhaust to prevent backfire and does nothing for cooling and I'm also wondering if both flush locations are best used together to give me cooling and backfire...

    Sportjet 120 Flush

    Hello I'm new to this forum and to jet boats. I just purchased a 1996 Sea Rayder F16 and in researching how to flush this unit I am getting conflicting info. Some say NEVER start this motor out of the water or I'll blow off the ride plate and other info I get is ALWAYS flush after salt water...
