Time for new motors

[Laconic]

In case you did not see my other thread (https://jetboaters.net/threads/help-needed-2003-lx210-urgent.22208/ ). I had a motor blow on my boat. I am replacing both. I have one motor out and the new one in its place. While their out, I am having the carbs rebuilt, new reeds, and starters. Luckily I live close to SBT. I dropped the carbs off at Jet Trendz today. SBT has a great guide. I stole my wife's zip locks and numbered them to match the guide.

Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.

I would put in water/fuel filters along with strainers on the cooling intake lines. Good preventative fixes

I just did a top end rebuild and it sounds like you may be getting completely remanufactured engines from SBT.

Do you know why the engines blew in the first place? Very important

If u haven’t gotten rid of the oil injection do so, and premix. And yes water/fuel filters like @4x15mph said. I also put priming balls in my fuel lines, fuel loves to drain back to tank. Didn’t like having to crank the engines so much trying to get the fuel to the engines. I installed the priming balls in the fuel lines and pump until hard, and motors starts right up.

@rkim808 where do I get the water fuel filters? I already have the bulbs. I am making good progress. I should have the new reeds installed today and then cleanup and wait for the carbs.

Both engines are now just waiting for the carbs. @4x15mph where do I get the water inlet strainers? Do you have any pictures? Also, I am away from the boat but want to order the fuel line anyone know what size?

Thanks

Aloha @Laconic I got them from my local Yamaha Dealer, they’re used for the outboard engine installs. I’ll try and get the Yamaha part numbers from them tomorrow. It’s the Holiday and they’re closed.

@rkim808 I found the part numbers for the fuel filters. Your picture was super helpful. I have all the fuel parts ordered. Now just looking for the water inlet strainers.

Inlet strainer ... Groco wsb-500-p

I’d keep the oil injection system.

I ordered my water strainers from island racing. I also recommend that you keep the oil injection so long as you tighten all of the lines.

I have the motors in and started breaking them in today. I need to order the water strainers. Does anyone have any pictures of their install? Thanks for all your help.

heres a photo of the water strainer installed. I also purchased mine from Island Racing. No need to remove the oil pumps, just upgrade the oil lines and secure them using stainless steel wire or oetiker clamps.

While you are order the strainers, i would order 2 shut off valves as well. Peace of mind if you ever have to get towed, limp in on 1 engine, or even just flush the motors or winterize them.

Fram G2 fuel filters from Walmart work great!

Got the gauges all replaced and the motors in. Working on breaking them in. Next up is lighting and rewiring the Amp for the sub woofers.

Sorry to hear that man! Any indicators leading up to that or did it just go?

 

[White2005lx210]

No sir the RPMS just started dropping. I killed it to see what's going on and found handfuls of metal

I bought the 2-year warranty engines, I replaced the starters, reeds and had the carbs rebuilt at the same time. So I think it was around $4k but I did everything except rebuilding the carbs myself.
