I would have liked to fit everything in one video but with all of the noise from clearing and machines it’s been kinda hard to record lately. Thanks for watching guys!
You had rust down the spark plug threads, I'm thinking the last guy had the coil packs out and the plugs loose and left it apart in the rain for a couple years. Probably just slapped it back together to sell.
@@chugaaaI read in the manual that if you tow these and don’t crimp the water inlet hose then it will fill the engine with water. I’m wondering if they towed it to a dock or somthing and it filled with water and then sat or they flipped it and it hydrolocked and let it sit from that. The guy said these were his daughters skis🤷
So great to see someone actually try to fix something instead of just replacing everything with new parts. This is how I fix things. People just give up so easily. Great video.
@@TheHomePros6221I wouldn’t say cheap, I’d say clever. If you can get a cheap ski running, spending minimal money on it and then put it in the water and have a blast your winning.
I wasn't expecting you to go that deep into the engine, but I enjoyed watching you tear into it and get it back together! Fantastic job! That engine's gonna purr like a kitten. Can't wait to see part 2!
First time watching, very nice job. I was shocked when you hit 2oo psi on all three cylinders. Normally piston ring manufacturers specify to use a tool to expand and position on piston so you appear to have gotten away with one. What did you use to clean rings and piston ring grooves? Other thing is permatex and others make engine assembly lube. I would use alot of it on cam lobes, connecting rods and crankshaft bearing journals especially. On dry start you can do alot of damage before oil film develops between wear surfaces. You can't use too much assembly lube in my experience.
I'm curious as to how the water got into that engine...Sunk, maybe? (edit, ok, maybe the PTO seal) Super dismantle, diagnosis and clean up, next level, superb 👍👏👏👏
You sir never cease to amaze me with your mechanical skills. The first video I saw you take that old beat up Goldwing and get that running. I've been hooked ever since.🤙 Thanks for all the entertainment.
Man I didn't think those skis could come back...I really admire your skills...been watching you for a couple years now...always looking for your next video.
yes I do like it I just don’t like the stretch head and crank bolts, I also wish it have removable sleeves and I don’t like that you have to tear down so much to take the crank out, but other than that it is a peppy little thing
Nice work. Down and dirty plane old work. Bravo sir. Save all that pristine garage and new tools for the city folks. You’re definitely one tough man and knows how to work. Nice.
I have to say that i'm really impressed with your mechanical skills! I know who I would chose as a mechanic if I could...unfortunately you live very far away from where I live (in northern Sweden), but i'm enjoying to see you perform mechanical marvels on RUclips. Already looking forward to your next video-release! Thanks for sharing.
Nice work! Your eventual new neighbors will love it when you fire up your projects. Maybe a double row of privacy trees will keep them at bay. Have I missed the finish of the excavator re-build?
Nice video, the only thing that i would do different its using a proper Honing Machine, the one that you can adjust instead of having springs, you can take more material if you want and keeps the cylinders round.
Great video, nice work getting this apart and hopefully working! Time stamp, 38:14, get something to hold that propane stove in place so it does not fall over and cause a fire with that hydraulic fluid and what ever else is on the bench. I had a buddy who dropped a trouble light on his wooden floor with gas, he lost his shed, snowmobile and almost his trailer home in 5 mins. Just a thought.
And again an awesome video. I can watch these all day long. You are so skilled😀. Can hardly wait for part two. Despite the new neighbours I hope you are alright and doing well. Best regards from the Netherlands.
Honestly, your videos are a real pleasure to watch ! 👍 You work carefully and, above all, cleanly. Your comments are understandable, a good shot and quality video editing ! 👌 WELL DONE and thank you for sharing ! Sincere greetings from the south of FRANCE ! 🤝 JC
FINALLY!!!! Someone that with sense enough to it try to crank an engine that’s been sitting for a while without making sure the gas is good and the engine at least appears to be in safe starting condition.
And the title definitely took inspiration from Andrew's "Buying the cheapest WaveRunner on Marketplace" video, lol. Not that I'm complaining, his jet ski / boat videos are some of my favorite. Darrell is a lot more methodical / careful than Andrew's "I'm just going to keep cranking and banging on this engine until it runs" mentality though.
My nerves are bad I can't wait to see part 2 there's nothing on RUclips well there is there is I'm just interested in your videos right now right now that was a very interesting enjoyable video thank you for sharing and giving us your time
Another brilliant video. I love your repair. Refuse, recycle ethos. Being that it's a marine grade motor, the only step I'd do differently is to use some copper grease on the spark plugs to prevent any moisture such as water ingress or condensation corroding the threads which will make maintenance further on in it's life a little easier. Can't wait to see part two. Have a great weekend and a British subscriber checking in
@@TheHomePros6221 Thanx. Just when you think you're secluded. Here come the Construction crews. Unreal. I bet you woulda bought some of that land yourself
Subbed for your hard work. I’m into it. I have a twin Yamaha jet boat I bought brand new. 20 years later I’m having my first problem. Turns out is a computer problem-doh! After I installed new fuel injectors. .
Wow man! I have to be honest: i was expecting the excavator project... i think you should can make more videos of the same project. That said, this video was very enjoyable as always. Cheers from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 🙂
You do outstanding work!!!🙏 The Skill And Knowledge You Have To Bring These Machines Back To Life is Remarkable.💯 Looking forward to the next video!!👍 Love The Videos.!!!💙
OMG you re used the shell bearings You use a gun to tighten the smaller bolts You re used the rings ! You used. Normal grease instead of marine ! You used a screw driver and contraption to knock out the seal ! All normal stuff for viewers and saving money !! Fair play love the video !
You got my attention amazing work here really great You have my support and subscription can’t wait for next video to go out on the jet ski I will be going through the other videos in the meantime until next time keep up the good work Regards Adam
Even though it's expensive to replace them I bet they don't come loose during normal wear. Most professional machine shops don't reuse crank, rod or head bolts. You hate to loose a freshly rebuilt motor over cost of bolts.
ney Buddy..quite the year for you..health..channel/video theft..but glad to see you posting...you look like you lost weight..hope all is well with wife and pets...and smart that you do not crank first thing..so many do and causes so much grief before they get started..look forward to your video on the "neighbor"....
Sure has been! I really appreciate it man! I’ve lost a lil weight it goes up and down but I’m trying to loose more, our shar pei dog needs major surgery on her leg so it’s just been one thing after another but I’m still very thankful
Dad blame it Darrell. I have been waiting for your follow up video on the jet ski's. I like your work. How is your health? Is your heart ok? Have you had any of those miserable phishing attacks. Miserable people.
@@PaulHigginbothamSr thank you Paul! I’ve been doing ok, a lot better than I was doing, I still have some health issues but it’s gotten much much better so I’m thankful for that. I got a ton of projects that I’m trying to finish videos on but it’s taking longer than expected for example I sent the excavator gear off to make a new one and it’s been over two months and they still aren’t done with it😖 but I’m trying my best so hopefully it won’t be to long before another vid🙂
Sorry to hear about the land next door. Hopefully, it won't lead to complaints in the future. But anyway, your videos are fantastic, as always. Keep it up!
Damn they really going at it for those new houses ! All the banging and shit ! To get back to the main subject... I really use to like doing stuff like this but I hated waiting for parts... Great job on this !
Amazing job ur doing 👌 I like this kind of content 👍 Good to see that ur channel get sponsors to support u 😎 Keep growing, u deserve it 💪 Im amazed buy how u made the video to, nice camerawork, music, etc… u nailed it 👌 Grts from Belgium ✌️
Only just been recommended your channel, fantastic workmanship, athough you've got plenty of work still to do! One thing missing - and I know you call yourself cheap from some other comments and I like to fix everything I can myself as well - but how many hours have you spent and how much in parts to get to this stage. Or maybe let us know at the end of part 2 - assuming you get it working and back in the water - of which I have no doubt given what I've seen so far! Reason I'm asking is at what cost does all this amount to against maybe buying a 2nd hand working Jetski, or maybe refurbished parts elsewhere - and I know its difficult to quantitify your own labour, plus you'll get hopefully a low hours, known quantity jetski at the end (assuming you don't sell it that is).
Yea I’m pretty upset I wanted to buy that land very bad! I actually have very little money into them so far, hopefully it runs good and so does the other ski
Engineers made that way too difficult. It still amazes me after all these years that companies haven't been able to simplify the install and removal of engines and wiring harnesses. California law makers must have been involved!!!
The 4 stroke one was sunk definitely sucked water inside and they just couldn’t get it out because they never took the spark plugs out and then turned it over they probably fried or just thought the starter was fried and I would definitely fix it that happens a lot and unfortunately some people just let them sit afterwards and it’s an easy fix if done properly and asap but taking it apart that was definitely what it needed cleaning and new fluids and head gasket and it’s probably gonna run good but the other one I hope is not 4stroke bc if it’s hit something hard they will bend internals more often than 2stroke engines just like the lawnmower engines with pushrods so when u hit a stump ur out a blade and a engine
It’s so frustrating when someone starts working on something, takes it partially apart, then sells it. It causes a lot more damage than it would have to leave it all together
Only one suggestion is to never boost a battery on a seadoo. Can fry ur cdi brain box!! Even if ur battery is completely dead. Just a little fyi. Love the videos!
@@TheHomePros6221 yeah I’ve worked on these guys all my life and I’ve seen it happen so many times. Mainly from people getting to the lake and having a low battery so they use jump packs and fry the brain. Which is EXPENSIVE. These guys fully rely on power so anytime messing with these always have a fresh battery. I’m also only speaking about 2010 and prior. These new ones I really don’t have much knowledge on.
I will admit it's not unusual to find low hour skis here in Indiana. Back in 2014 when I got my 2000 kawasaki stx900 it only had 35 hours and I gave 1200 for it. Things ran fine for me. It does have low compression but it's never been an issue for me. Thing about jet skis is so many people just like with quads and side by sides. And boats. They sit. Why is beyond me I'm on the water as often as I can even now having 2 kids
When you were removing gasket from wrapper your filter screen fell out. It looks like when you put the lower part of the sump that you didn’t put it back in
I feel for you going from having no neighbors to potentially dozens of cookie-cutter houses soon in your front yard. It changes the whole dynamic of your property.
Just found your channel drinking my coffee really enjoyed the content just subscribed. Can't wait to see the next video have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Mass.

You had rust down the spark plug threads, I'm thinking the last guy had the coil packs out and the plugs loose and left it apart in the rain for a couple years. Probably just slapped it back together to sell.
To me looks like didn't winterized properly...water locked maybe?
@@chugaaaI read in the manual that if you tow these and don’t crimp the water inlet hose then it will fill the engine with water. I’m wondering if they towed it to a dock or somthing and it filled with water and then sat or they flipped it and it hydrolocked and let it sit from that. The guy said these were his daughters skis🤷
@@TheDisorderly1you are probably rite but why did he have it taken apart to begin with? Maybe they flipped it and it hydrolocked?
Couldn't see anything in the cylinders because of the bright sky.
Wow, I really thought those cylinders were toast, then I thought the rings and pistons were toast. Then you got 200 psi! Crazy. Love your videos man.
You and me both! can’t wait to see if they run

@@TheHomePros6221 yeah I’ve worked on these guys all my life and I’ve seen it happen so many times. Mainly from people getting to the lake and having a low battery so they use jump packs and fry the brain. Which is EXPENSIVE. These guys fully rely on power so anytime messing with these always have a fresh battery. I’m also only speaking about 2010 and prior. These new ones I really don’t have much knowledge on.
At first i was like what a stupid idea having to pull the whole top of the ski until i seen then engine access it provided 😍
Interesting engine in these things.
Yea they aren’t my favorite lol but are pretty smooth I don’t like the head bolts and having to take everything off to get to crank

@@ssimderwelders I’d like to in the next video could you shoot me a email I have some questions on how to use it
Great Job, 45 hours, how is that possible
Thanks! The guy said these were his daughters and it broke and sat not long after buying them
I will admit it's not unusual to find low hour skis here in Indiana. Back in 2014 when I got my 2000 kawasaki stx900 it only had 35 hours and I gave 1200 for it. Things ran fine for me. It does have low compression but it's never been an issue for me. Thing about jet skis is so many people just like with quads and side by sides. And boats. They sit. Why is beyond me I'm on the water as often as I can even now having 2 kids
you got that rite my friend!
When you were removing gasket from wrapper your filter screen fell out. It looks like when you put the lower part of the sump that you didn’t put it back in
Cylinders will probably need a new coating of Nikasil after the honing. I believe all Rotax engines use Nikasil.
I feel for you going from having no neighbors to potentially dozens of cookie-cutter houses soon in your front yard. It changes the whole dynamic of your property.
Just found your channel drinking my coffee really enjoyed the content just subscribed. Can't wait to see the next video have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Mass.
