Out of the 15 or so Yamaha's iv owned. Its never been the starter etc. It's always the carb, fuel filter and check valve. Bring a battery and compression tester with you. Check for spark and compression numbers over 120 to about 150 (new) and you'll have a solid runner! 701cc is the best one to find.
It’s funny because they’ve been using the same engine sounds like about the 90s I have a 650 mine has a completely different color and body but yeah the stock carburetors are black nobody rebuilt your engine
@@dorianalexander6960 Where do you live I live in Costa Mesa California mine runs great if you’re anywhere close you can come down and we can ride together I just rode mine recently even though it’s pretty cold I seen a bunch of like fish down there and cool stuff pretty close to the shore mine doesn’t have a very big gas tank but I can ride for about three hours about or maybe more
Haha it happens all the time. I rebuilt the starter switch and put a battery in it and had a lot of fun. A lot of people just get tired or don't know how to fix anything so they just go buy a new ski.

@@jezzeestewart3712 I'm sorry man I live in the caribbean .can I see a pic or a vid to encourage me to complete mines 👊
@@dorianalexander6960 OK give me your email address
All of them are black. I have two of them I’m trying to get running.
Are these 2 stroke? Just mix 50/50 in the tank? Or does it have a oil injection?
Pre 2002 skis are all two stroke. The mix ratio is more like 50 to one. 50 being the gas.
Sweeeet deal

Any idea how to winterize this specific JetSki?
I got the boat and RV antifreeze and just connected the attachment and poured it in there. There is probably better ways...
Lots of videos on TH-cam for two stroke winterizing
carb is normal.color, black.
Why in thw world would someone sell this for 50$??!
