UPdate! According to GPS speedometer/tripmeter I put on this this thing I put about 300 miles on it last summer. No issues!!! Runs perfect... Getting ready to get it back on the water in a couple months...
You bet - hope it's of help to you! I had mine out all weekend. GPS said 75 miles total. Running strong. I'm gunning down 400 miles on rebuild no issues except cracked battery terminal - make sure your battery is in there good and tight!
Crank bearings felt tight so I just left them alone. However, since this project I've worked on a snowmobile that had a bad crank bearing on the business end (clutch) which makes me think maybe it's not a bad idea to do the end bearings provided you can get them off there. Probably requires some heat and ice-pack and a mallet. I don't know how you get the other ones off as you'd have to rebalance the crank and all sorts of nasty stuff. I think all that center stuff is pressed on there so it's a specialized job. However, here's how I look at it: the forces of a wave runner drive are a little different and there will be less torque on the end bearing in general because the engine is in-line with what it's driving. Snowmobile crank is 90 degrees to the drive so it's gonna be rougher on stuff. It's up to you but those are my thoughts. I didn't do it and I've got 300 miles on it no issues.
GPS Speedometer....Can you give us a list of the items purchased and color coded wiring diagram? Maybe a complete video on how to install one since the OEM display is a common failed part. Thanks for the information. Jason
@@NOFISHINGNOLIFE269I hate to admit to it but I didn’t record that stuff! Sorry. All I can tell you is that I left the same jets in the carbs and did not replace so I didn’t pay attention to what was in there. I made sure they were clean and put them back in. As for needle and seat size, size was scribed on the seat but I simply don’t recall. I also left those parts alone and stuck with what was in the machine before it blew up. As for pop-off, I do remember it was between 40 and 45 psi on all three carbs. Sorry I can’t be more help to you!
Oh yea for got to mention - high speed screw I set at 7/8. Seems to be fine. According to the GPS speedo I put on this machine, I've got 236 miles on it since the rebuild! Still running great. Pretty substantial considering these things only get like 2 MPG.
I did a little more research in my notes and found my seats were 1.5 mm. 40 to 45 pop off. Sorry but I don't know what jets are in there as I stuck with what it had already.
Hey Paul thanks for responding ! I’m just getting ready to tackle the carb rebuilds before summer . Anyway I can email you about some questions regarding carb rebuild
Have a 1100 swap in an 01 800XL, trying to finish up my cooling lines.. there's a small port under the exhaust elbow, down near the motor mount..where does that go to?
Hmm - I know the hose you are talking about but I don't recall. Mine are in storage right now but I'll try to remember to look in there to see if I can help you when I get them out.
@@paulhaines5755 would be much appreciated, trying to get this project done from previous owner, my last hold up is that port and fixing some small fiberglass cracks so I can throw it in the water
@@Suikakuji Ok - I'll try to get in there tonight after work and look at it instead of waiting until I get them out for the summer. It's tight in there so hopefully I can see it. Roofing today in the 90 degree heat - fun days!
@@Suikakuji 8/12 roof pitch - crawling around all day using ropes like a rock climber in 100 degree heat = fun. I'm sorry but I can't see underneath the engine. It's actually so tight I can't even get my hand in there to feel around. I'm not sure what to tell you. I don't recall as this was a couple years ago. You might study the illustrated parts breakdown and see it that helps. sorry I can't help you! Paul
Mine is 7" x 4" x 6" tall. 325 CCA. I'm not sure if this is the correct "factory" size but it works fine in mine. Make sure it's strapped in there real good or you could break a battery post. Happened to me.
Front and center of engine forward of the crank shaft bolted to the exterior of the electrical/stator housing. They are actually driven by the crank shaft.
...and the oil pump can go bad. like mine. A lot of riders convert to premix fuel and oil and remove the oil pump. This can prevent major engine damage when pump fails.

It's up to about 700 miles on the GPS - no issues runs like a top!!!

Mid 2020: A lot of good info - going to pull my 760 engine and thanks for the pitfall warnings. :)

Please need a parts list for the heat light and gps speedometer! Thanks! Good work!
Check out: "How to Build a NEW Gauge Panel for your Wave Runner" or click on my name and look for the vid. Thanks.
Did you replace all of your crank bearings or did you just have the transmission shop clean them and oil

Will do! I thought the same... I just did a vid on it the other day but have yet to upload. When I get it uploaded I'll let you know. Thanks!
I just put a how to vid out there for the new gauge cluster. Hope it helps. Thanks.
I have wave venture 1100triple yamaha look for parts I get it for free engine is out side need parts it is my fist time to have this
Hey Paul what are your carb settings .? Jets ? Needle and seat?
Pop off pressure? Springs used?

What is the size of the battery u know?
Mine is 7" x 4" x 6" tall. 325 CCA. I'm not sure if this is the correct "factory" size but it works fine in mine. Make sure it's strapped in there real good or you could break a battery post. Happened to me.
how do u change oil
You don't change the oil. The 2 cycle oil that goes thru the carbs with the gas lubes all the stuff in the crank case.
Why they are so loud, is there any way to quite down
Don't know.
Out of the water loud as heck in the water not so bad...
Where is the oil pump on these?
Front and center of engine forward of the crank shaft bolted to the exterior of the electrical/stator housing. They are actually driven by the crank shaft.
Follow the oil hoses from the oil reservoir.
...and the oil pump can go bad. like mine. A lot of riders convert to premix fuel and oil and remove the oil pump. This can prevent major engine damage when pump fails.
