Compression test was done as it should. I’d invest in a better tester because I’ve found the harbor freight coolant leak testers and compression testers tend to stick and give inaccurate readings. But that being said, 90 for a two-stroke seadoo motor is good. You generally want to see the compression in all cylinders all the same and within spec. Which is 110psi-90psi. Your skis were in spec and almost the exact same +-1psi. You got an excellent deal!

@willberk2920 2 года назад

@ronaldheit196 3 года назад

Dude, there's a huge market for restored vintage waverunners. People who grew up on them love to get them for nostalgia. I've rebuilt a few of those engines. They're seriously easy to rebuild. A whole lot easier than rebuilding an aircraft engine which I did in the Coast Guard and on my Dad's airplane. My nieces husband does about 20 a year and makes a killing at it. It goes a long way to paying to keep his fleet of rental Waverunners brand new every other year.

If you block off the oil pump and run premix you will still have to keep the two big oil lines conected to the motor, that is the rotary valve bath oil

@ford9501 3 года назад

Second this. We always converted to pre-mixed. Less hassle down the line, and one less moving part to fail on the water. Does make 'topping up the tank' harder, since you have an extra step and need to keep a mixing bottle around, but much more reliable imo.

@wccroft2009 3 года назад

You have skills! Don't stop, God bless!

@hossrod 3 года назад

When doing the compression test, you have to hold the throttle open while you crank it (or do it now while carbs are off). Also, on the one you took out on the water, now that you have run it a bit, try compression check again. Sometimes after sitting a while, the piston rings can stick and will free up after running. Of course, make sure your pressure gauge is accurate.

@jordanrobinson8403 3 года назад

Compression should be around 150, however it is entirely unlikely that all 4 cylinders on 2 engines are underperforming exactly the same. The fact that they were all within a few psi of 90 says they are all in good condition and your gauge reads low.

@dan8402 2 года назад

I have heard the cheep gauges like I would get from harbor freight also read lower than actual compression, as much as 30 psi lower. just to keep in mind.

@Rellsrides Год назад

Engine been sitting after it runs and the rings re seat I gaurantee it’ll compression test 150 or higher now

@banshee8989 3 года назад

yup. I have the same one and its off by around 10 pounds at 90psi. By what I see and knowing the HF compression tester, your pressures are fine and normal for a 30 year old engine.

@danbasile3621 3 года назад

Any time you do a compression test you need to hold the throttle wide open. This allows the cylinder to fully fill up with air. I vote for origins graphics I love the color schemes of the 90s as well.

@beezalbub7325 3 года назад

Yep, you did the compression test incorrectly. Choke off and throttle wide open then do the test. Great deal for 500 dollars.

@Jaden Emmanuel Nope. No one gives a shit. BTW, she's cheating on you.

@darrellcoy 3 года назад

Yeah, you gotta have the throttle open. In my experience. I believe it wont pull enough air through the closed butterflys to get accurate pressure in the cylinder. BUT these are 2stroke, not sure if its the same, but common sense says it would be?

@jacobcayer3736 3 года назад

Love the videos man! Few things to keep in mind with those skis, the two large oil lines going to the bottom of the motor need to be connected and filled with oil. Some guys leave the stock oil tank in place or you can also loop them together making sure they are filled with 2 stroke oil and just keep an eye on it, in theory it shouldn't burn that oil if your seals are good. Another thing to keep in mind is even when you have a hose hooked up don't run them too long on land. Those models have a plastic thru-hull fitting that get wore out over time and they can melt if they get too hot without water cooling them, the replacement metal ones are much better. Finally, a leakdown test on these old engines is a very good idea. Without a leakdown test you won't know if your crankseals are pulling in unmetered air and overtime it will burn up the engine.

On this 2 stroke engines you still have to have 2 stroke oil on the oil tank to lube the bottom gear on the engine. You can pree mix all you want but need to keep the 2 stroke oil in the tank and the big hose that goes to the bottom of the engine. IF YOU DONT BROKEN MOTOR. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

@GeorgeKistler 3 года назад

You did the compression test right - after running them a while you should retest and see it pick up some compression as the rings free up and oil finds its way into the cylinders. I would be more concerned about the water in the cylinders - I dont think the water pushed out of the cylinders was from pressure washing, I would check again after being in the lake, my guess is the crankcase needs to be drained and the exhaust elbow is cracked and leaking. In any case - Great deal Zach and have fun!

@GreatLakes247 3 года назад

Good find of jet skis and double place trailer. Word of advice though, almost always buy an AGM(Absorbed Glass Matt) battery for jet skis. The Lead-Acid batteries that you purchased for them will not last due to the vibrations and design of it. AGM prevents plates from moving and creates a longer more reliable battery. It will pay for itself when it lasts 3+ years and not the usual 1 year with a Lead-Acid.

@edwardkawecki8101 2 года назад

All my wet batteries in all my jet skis, motorcycles, boats, lawn mower, welder, vehicles last 8 to 10 years. Always keep them topped off with a battery tender each month especially in the off season. N.E. Ohio, so weather isn't as tough as hot Fl. weather. Hot weather is a killer on batteries more then cool weather as is over charging. Never charge over 1.25 amps for maintenance.

@billco-9801 3 года назад

Initially the Rotax engine should be good for 300-450 hours or 12 years. Once I complete an overhaul and rebuild the crankshaft with all new parts, including connecting rods with 2 oil slots, and you run premix @ 40 to 1 or oil injection & add 3.2 ounces of oil to every 5 gallons of gas, you can run the engine to 450 hours.

Spi was a mid grade model that fell between the spx and the sp, the gtx line works the same way with the gti and gt. The spx's of the mid to later 90s were essentially the previous year's xp which had a 720 engine. I'm guessing you had the same engine that the 94 xp had which was a 650. The knob on the right side should be gas on, gas off, and reserve. Good luck, fun skis.
