10$ on amazon gy6 cdi will make her sing like brand new did it to one 89 and about to do it to a 90. Love these runners and your vids keep up the good work
When I see a project like this I figure straight away, a carb rebuild, top end rebuild, drain nd clean the fuel tank and oil tank if it has it. replace all fuel, water, oil lines with new hose. On the rear, pull and tidy up the jet pump assembly, and replace the wear ring straight away. Verify steering and throttle cables are good and move freely. Replace if needed. It is easier to do all this with the engine pulled and everything exposed. Yeah it means an extra $500 and up, but you get basically a new engine, carb, and you know it shouldn't fail you while you are on the water. Least it shouldn't.
good job guy . you know when those hood fall on your head they hurt i fond out that when my 1992 650cc jet ski did . and i know alot of peolpe are not buying the two stros they want fore stokes . with biger and fuile injeted engine . me i stay with the older ones . and the one that dont take that chip key .
Dam that dog was enjoying that,probably saying to himself,hell never knew i could run across water so dang fast im kinda enjoying this.nice you let the locals have a go at jet ski fun too!!!snooky pa.owner of 94 650 yamaha.i need the bumper trim along sides mine is cracked every 4 inches.know any surplus places???💥👍👌💥
Love the videos my man. How fast can you typically get these older skis up to? I recently bought a pair of 92’ wave runner 650s and was wondering how fast you typically get them up to?
Usually just depends on my schedule, but if I have all the parts already it would realistically only take a weekend. Most of the time it just comes down to waiting on parts.
@@patfinnegan270 and yes, I just drilled a hole on each side of the ski, sealed it with blue RTV silicone from Orieillys and added the plugs I listed from Amazon. It’s pretty simple really, and pretty inexpensive.
Can I ask a question? There are two hoses coming off the vent canister. One goes to the tank. Where does the other one connect? It’s not in the manual.
I think it's supposed to hook up to the battery. I believe back in the day the old batteries would have a vent connection to vent hydrogen gas, new sealed batteries don't really have to worry about this so they don't have anywhere to connect to. I could be wrong though. None of my skis have the extra vent hose connected to anything.
Omg i cringed when he started it then gunned it for a ride with no warm upm that and it was started in 2 shallow of water...i hate classic powersports abuse
Those motors are a lot more resilient than you give them credit. Recently sold both of those skis to a guy in running condition. Also, an engine rebuild isn't even that expensive or hard if you find it necessary.
@@RuralPlayground any powersports motor shld be warmed up. Ya some will take it for years but eventually the heads will warp or pistons seize one of those times. Never a good idea. Even 2 mins of warm up is better than non

Would it work on a vxr 650? Do you have a link for the cdi?
Bro stop lying post a video I have a 93

Excelent video man!! thx for the content
More and more people are saving these vintage 2 strokes 👍
You should consider refurbishing the gelcoat. It will make a speed difference.
I just got one of the blue and pink ones runs great after 6 years of sitting
i love how yall took the dog for a ride i allways did took .
Simple green and a scrub brush made my tank like new
Great video! Post more rebuild videos!
Hey man for future reference there is a plug in the back of the ski near the jetpump and it will release all the water but great video man🤟🏻
I have just bought a pair 89 and 90 one has said plug and the other does not I think they figured it out a year later lol
Nice! At one point my dad had 3 broken jetskis, I don't know why he bought them. He should have sold them (or some of them) to you.
Do the next ski ASAP good job on video
Just finished it today, will be editing and uploading within the next week or so.
He got the exact same ones Andrew camarata got
He actually inspired me to pick them up in the first place.
I just got one of these for my channel!
Good lord that spot looks pure bliss, my dream a house on a lake with a jetski or jet boat.
Purple power or simple green make a huge difference, I know on this same ski for a fact
Привет!!
Хотел поинтересоваться как этот квадроцикл в эксплуатации?
love the video man! let me know if you ever want to sell the ski haha
Thanks! Will do!

I did that air compressor trick with a motor bike and popped the fuel tank
Yeah, gotta keep an eye on it and do a little at a time. Probably only needed about 5 psi looking back at it.
Kills me that you didn't buy the snowmobile.
I have one just like this one in\my back yard, Buddy of mine gave it to me.. I never got around to fixing it up.
I have one just like that
I replaced all of my file lines on my 1988 waverunner 500
Everyone favorite socket #10 mm

He means how fast in mph can they go.
@@SchizoFunChannel lol whoops, the 500s get up to around 27 mph. The 650s in my other videos can hit about 36 or 37.
@@RuralPlayground nice. Thanks 😊

Какая компрессия должна быть в цилиндрах?
Did you, at any point, do a compression check? That is always step 1.
Nah, don't have a check tool. Will probably pick one up in the near future.
You can do the tool loaner program at Autozone or OReillys and get your deposit back when you return the tester so it doesn't cost anything.
First thing I did to mine was add drain plugs lol
What is the process to add a drain plug? Drill a hole in the back and use a plug from a boat?

do more jet ski vids and i will sub
Got a couple in the planning phases right now.
A P.O.S. Ford will let you down everytime!
put a 25 volt capacitor 10000 uf to boost low voltage.....
hasta luego buen trabajo , baja mexico

Not yet

U kidding lol? You like that ugly ass thing more then a new one?
If u don’t mind me asking where did u get your battery from?
Autozone, any auto parts store should carry them.
