    Carbs spitting fuel

    I have a 97 SeaDoo Explorer with a 717 engine. It starts fine and runs ok until it gets warmed up. After about 1/4 mile of riding it will start to bog down and will not maintain plain on the water. I can tickle the throttle and and get it to take off again, but it will continue to bog down every...

    Waterproof Thread locker

    I am looking for a waterproof thread locker to be used for a 5/8 stainless Heliciol in an aluminum housing on my Alpha 1. Loctite may work, but I can't find any information on if it is waterproof or just water resistant. High strength is probably required for this application. Thanks in...

    No core floor

    6m6 6r7 engine swap

    I have a couple of questions about the differances between a 6m6 and a 6r7. I am replacing 6M6 with a 6R7 1. The magnito on the 6m6 is set at about 2 millimeters ahead of the 6r7 if you are looking at it as a clock would spin. How should I set the magnito on the new 6r7? Is it the same...

    1990 Jet-N-Cat powered by a 650 Yamaha

    My Little jet boat is cutting out...spitting and sputtering, and won't get up to speed. It sound almost like it is blowing up when it cuts out, but there was no aluminum on plugs and the compression is 125 or so in both cylinders...is that ok? I hope it is just a fuel problem or something...
