This was awesome. I never received notification of this video. I was just going to check to make sure that you are all safe with the severe storms going through your area
You lucked out with a good engine thankfully! It would have sucked royally if you did all that glass work just to have a dead engine. I look forward to seeing this on the water soon, good job guys!
Well a couple things I guess. For one, great job with the repairs they look great, but I’d recommend a few things. Definitely get the whole intake system cleaned out, (charge pipes, intercooler, and intake manifold) I would install a catch can as soon as possible to avoid ever having to do that job again and making the ski last longer. Make sure you get new oil and good coolant in there and when you go out to test it check for supercharger slip. (Will result in lower than targeted rpm’s) and if that happens I would recommend doing a supercharger rebuild. Only other thing is definitely get that engine aligned and replace the carbon seal, prop, and wear ring if they need it.
Couple things to note. 1. Since it's supercharged you have to use a JASO MA-2 oil or else the friction washers in the superchargers will slip excessively and cause premature failure and lack of boost. 2. Did you align the engine? If not, the carbon seal will wear out VERY quickly and you'll end up sinking. The shaft has play in it so it'll slide in even without an alignment but it will put a lot of stress on one side of the seal, which causes it to wear. 3. When running the ski on the hose, ideally you only want to run it for 30 seconds but up to 2 minutes is okay. Any more than that and you're getting the carbon seal red hot which will also cause it to fail. 4. When you're changing the oil, make sure you follow the oil level check procedure. It's a dry sump oil system, so there's no main reservoir. If you fill it based on the stick reading without performing the oil level procedure, then you'll most likely put far too much oil in.
There goes your carbon seal on the pump, you will be replacing that in the near future! You need to follow the boil out procedure to get all the water out of the engine.
If yall are finding out that this ski is burning up carbon seals really quickly.....there is a special alignment tool that is required when you pull the engine out to get the jet pump shaft pefectly aligned with the motor.
so wait there is water in the oil still? And you had the motor out and didnt change the oil? And its late now but you should have put a battery in there before you started all this to make sure you had connection at that time.
You aren’t supposed to let it run withthe hose for more than 30 - 45 seconds. The carbon seal will burn since it’s cooled by the water pulled in from the jet pump. You should buy a carbon seal kit and replace it since it’s got so many hours anyway.
Aye hey Tyler and hi to your dad ye im very pleased to see how the jet ski has progressed you guys are truly amazing well done, keep up up em good videos ive enjoyed watching them.

Appreciate you
Outstanding!!! This was a little tense, till it fired up.
Have fun this summer, just play safe.
Thank you. I was a bit nervous too
I knew you guys could get the Jet Ski running again and I can't wait to see you guys get her out on the lake!🤠👍🍻
Thank you. Appreciate all your support
We enjoyed the video! Hope you both have a lot of fun riding it this summer!
Thank you
Very informative on how to video. You guys done a great job. Thanks for your videos stay safe and stay healthy ❤
Appreciate you
Don't put a battery on a concrete floor it will drain a battery. Love the videos great job boys!
Appreciate the tip
Its sounds good. You guys did an amazing job with this build
We’ve been lucky so far with these sketchy Copart purchases.
@@SwampBoysGarage I know. I have been there every step of the way

I know!! I would have been so mad if the engine was bad.

Appreciate all the good info. We couldn’t do this with all the great help we get.

That’s some good info. We appreciate that.
Ah cool, that's a Rotax engine. Should be made in Austria, where I'm originally from. Keep up the good work, guys!
Didn’t know that. I just assumed it was made in Japan.
wicked video, seadoos are supercherged by the way, love your content, keep it up!
Thank you. We are learning a lot about it as we go.
Liked this series.
Appreciate you
Glad it running great!
Thank you

What’s the boil out procedure
If yall are finding out that this ski is burning up carbon seals really quickly.....there is a special alignment tool that is required when you pull the engine out to get the jet pump shaft pefectly aligned with the motor.
Thank you.
Awesome video!!
Appreciate the support so much
Why wouldn’t you clean up all the fittings and hard to get spots while you have the engine out ?
Great work. Good luck. It is not a Jet Ski tho. It is a Sea Doo. Kawasaki is the only Jet Ski. Like saying a Ford Camaro.
Haha. Very true.
Throw some HEET in the crankcase!
That gets moisture out? I’ll look into it
so wait there is water in the oil still? And you had the motor out and didnt change the oil? And its late now but you should have put a battery in there before you started all this to make sure you had connection at that time.
Too hard to drain the oil. Have to pump oil put the top

We really appreciate the info. We learn a lot from the comments.
