    OMC 115 Seaswirl/SeaSquirt TurboJet (1194 115JEERA I think..) Rebuild due to one cylinder filling with gas while cranking?

    Can you recommend a good source for pistons and rings by chance?

    OMC TurboJet 115 Over Heating Problem

    what is this "head upgrade kit for this motor" AND the "OPTIONAL" sand filter installed" you speak of? I'm rebuilding my engine now! Hope someone sees this really old post!

    OMC 115 Seaswirl/SeaSquirt TurboJet (1194 115JEERA I think..) Rebuild due to one cylinder filling with gas while cranking?

    OMC "Crossflow" I'll have to search for more info on that term as I don't recall ever seeing it. I'll definitely be replacing the rings and honing it too I guess(?). Yeah, I found that it was just a 5/16-12 point. Basically, it just can't be too wide to get in there but it was easy to find...

    Chris 1956 - Are you (or anyone on here) directly familiar with this OMC 1194 115JEERA engine? I ask as I know this SeaSwirl Jetboat is pretty rare, but the engine is pretty much the same 115 OMC 4-Cly 2-stroke OMC has been making as an outboard for may years. so I was just hoping you were...

    OMC 115 Seaswirl/SeaSquirt TurboJet (1194 115JEERA I think..) Rebuild due to one cylinder filling with gas while cranking?

    Well as you can see from the pics, the engine, and therefore all hoses, have been disassembled. So at this point, I guess I'll just buy new steel sealing rings, clean up the small burr I saw on one sealing ring surface (and anything similar I might find after taking out the crank/pistons for...

    OMC 115 Seaswirl/SeaSquirt TurboJet (1194 115JEERA I think..) Rebuild due to one cylinder filling with gas while cranking?

    Thanks so much for the reply. After writing my post I thought of a few things I should have mentioned. One of which was It seemed that the VRO (and the electric valve) was working. But I'll take it apart later today to check leaks and what not. But would it only affect one cylinder? Does...

    OMC 115 Seaswirl/SeaSquirt TurboJet (1194 115JEERA I think..) Rebuild due to one cylinder filling with gas while cranking?

    A few pics below but I have a LOT more as I read the manual and took lots of pics and notes to help with reassembly. So if you want to see something I probably have a pic of it! (Hopefully, most of you guys can read all of this on a PC and not a tiny phone screen! I have experience rebuilding...

    I REALLY need input on a (just purchased, no history) OMC TurboJet 115 Initial startup and troubleshooting attempt.

    OK so then this gas/oil mix just goes into the crankcase through the carbs like a typical crankcase reed induction dirtbike motor? If so AWESOME!

    I REALLY need input on a (just purchased, no history) OMC TurboJet 115 Initial startup and troubleshooting attempt.

    The manual says anytime the VRO is disconnected/replaced, etc, and therefore not primed to run 25:1 in the fuel tank. Then once it's confirmed that oil is flowing from the oil tank via the VRO I can switch to plain gas. But the engine will need to be running to check this. So I guess running...

    Will do. Hope to find a kit for them but pretty sure I can just disassemble, clean and check float height. - Thanks!

    I REALLY need input on a (just purchased, no history) OMC TurboJet 115 Initial startup and troubleshooting attempt.

    Hello all! I was SO glad to find a forum with some pretty current posts that may apply to my Sea Swirl, Sea Squirt 115 OMC TufboJet engine jet boat. So hoping somebody sees this and replies soon! I took a chance and bought it for $1000w/trailer. I have a TurboJet Service and parts manual...
