Special Jet Ski Tools 101 – Flywheel Pullers
The FLYWHEEL (magneto, generator, rotor or vaious other names) is affixed to the crank really tight. To get it off, you are going to need a special tool – a flywheel puller.
Special tools (like pullers and adapters) come in two basic types. Those that:
- make the job easier (meaning you can use something else, but it’s just not fun)
- make the job possible (you can’t use anything else, you NEEED the tool)

Wear Ring, Impeller And Housing Make A Jet Pump
All modern jet skis use an axial jet pump – a tube and nozzle setup that sprays water out with great force.
The jet ski pump consists of a housing, wear ring and impeller. The wear ring can be either plastic or stainless steel, depending on the make of your jet ski.
The jet ski impeller fits tightly and spins inside of the wear ring, which sits inside of the housing.
The jet ski wear ring and the impeller are the two parts that generally wear or are damaged. And are generally both replaced at the same time.

That Important Part of Rebuilding A Jet Ski Carb That Everyone Keeps Skipping – The Pop-Off Test
A key component to complete the re-building of a carburetor is the pop-off test.
The pop-off is a CRITICAL component of the carb tuning mix. Incorrect pop-off can cause severe performance issues, and engine damage.
The Primary Killer Of A Two Stroke Jet Ski Is A Clogged Carburator
This is especially true for skis that have been sitting for over 30 days.
Whenever running a ski that wasn’t out yesterday for a few hours, it is advised to check the spark plugs before running it for an extended period of time.
My suggestion, and

Oh No! My Jet Ski Sunk !! (Part 2 of 2)
(4 Stroke)
First question is….. 4 stroke or 2 stroke? Water in a 4 stroke is in the crankcase and so is the reservoir for the oil. The water and oil get mixed and put a white foam all over the inside of the engine. Much bigger problem.

Oh No! My Jet Ski Sunk!! (Part 1 of 2)
(2 Stroke Ski)
First question is….. 4 stroke or 2 stroke? Water in a 2 stroke is in the crankcase so you need to get it out.
On 2 strokes, especially older skis, flipping and sinking is something that might happen, and if you ride aggressively probably will happen. It is possible to fill a 2 stroke engine with water and clear it and have no long term bad effects.
IMPORTANT NOTE: CLEARING WATER OUT OF AN ENGINE AFTER
Two Key Failure Points For Yamaha GPR And XLT Two Stroke Power Valves
The last of the Yamaha two strokes (99-06) were the GPR 1200 and 1300 and the XLT 1200. These are referred to as PV skis because of the presence of power valves.
There are two key failure points on these skis that can be prevented.

What Is A Power Valve?
When designing a two stroke exhaust system you can optimize it for top end or bottom end performance. An engine with max power at high rpms might be weak at lower speeds. The power valve is a small gate that fools the motor into thinking it has two exhaust chambers – a smaller one for low speed and when the valve opens, a larger one for higher speeds.
ACK, Stop Doing That You’re Going To Break It!
THE HOSE (FLUSH KIT) IS FOR FLUSHING SALT WATER AND DEBRIS OUT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ONLY!!! This means it is NOT for testing and tuning on the trailer It is NOT REQUIRED (on any ski) for the water to be on to start the motor. If you want to test start a ski and…
