@@jasonbourne3448 ah, nice. I will try that way if this happens again👍🏽thanks

@@Podchynok oh ya, I didn’t even pin it because it was my kids first time on a tube on the wave runner so didn’t know what to expect but didn’t struggle at all👍🏽

@@chokla3834 nope, it’s the right size and has a locking nipple that fits it the port. Order one if you bought used and the unit didn’t come with the attachment

@@michaelstanton556 gasoline or gas vapors? If vapors, always keep the seat off for ventilation. Or, take seat off for a few mins just prior to starting it on the water. The culprit is faulty wiring that ignites the vapor build up. Vapor build up is normal as the gas tank is also under the seat. The smell of raw gas in liquid form, means leaking gas. The big problem is if there’s any faulty wiring causing spark in the engine bay

@redrightreturn1085 Dad and I took the seat off tonight waited a little bit and I couldn't smellDad and I took the seat off tonight waited a little bit and I couldn't smell anything.

@@michaelstanton556 yes it will always smell like gas vapors if the seat is left on, however, if all components inside the w home bar are not corroded etc, just vent the engine bay before starting, if you smell raw gas, like if you spilled it in the garage, then don’t start it and get it looked at. Most of the time the gas itself leaks from the fill nozzle from pushing the gas nozzle in to hard and breaking that seal inside, or, the top of the gas tank where that silver plate is (fuel pump) I definitely don’t want to cause alarm as your ski may be fine nuts build up of vapors

@@Strangerthingsvehicles list all that’s wrong. I’ve been changing oil in engines for years. An oil change is an oil change and in a wave runner you suck it out and still change the filter. I’m dying to hear the extreme list of wrong information I provided 🤦🏽‍♂️

@@redrightreturn1085 for starters you were trying to drain the oil from the head not from the big yellow dipstick area then you try to suck oil from a PCV hose not the oil hose next to it

@@Strangerthingsvehicles anyone who watches this video, in full, WILL successfully change the oil without incident in this unit. If you are referring to some of the trial and error that was done AND caught live, that’s still not wrong info. 1) the fogging oil is for winterizing the engine, and lubing components 2) i pointed out the flush, dipstick fill, and crankcase fill. 3) oil viscosity will break down faster with higher RPMs, 4) keeping the seat off is how you avoid mold building up in the hull.

@@Strangerthingsvehicles you clearly had KZfaq shorts attention span on this one. Skip a lot and miss a lot. Read my response and watch it again. Nothing was wrong information just some trial and error caught live and still done successfully

@@centralcal6604 oh ya! Water conditions and weight play a huge part. Mine normally does 51 on light chop with just 180lb me. 55 had to be glass water, me only, and a half tank 🤣👍🏽

@@centralcal6604 glass water, just 180 lb me, 1/2 tank of gas =55 mph

@@redrightreturn1085 seems about right mines tops out at about 50

@@centralcal6604 that’s plenty for me🤣👍🏽

@@centralcal6604 appreciate it 😎👍🏽

@@NoPrxssure ya…. I know 🤣 I mainly drive it out to a fishing spot, fish for a few hours anchored, then wide open throttle it around the lake and go home. Not much long trip adventures……. Yet😎

nothing odd to me about it ?, my '15 fx ho cruiser only has about 25-30 hrs tops ?. i stay busy alot, not much time to ride, summers are when i am busy the most.

@@andysangels1970 yes, definitely hard to do all👍🏽🤣

most states require to have driver, spotter when you are pulling someone on a tube, no idea why these ski owners don't know the law..oh well..lol.

@@redrightreturn1085 you are '' suppose '' to have a spotter while pulling a tube or skier at all times in most states. reason: this lets the driver watch where they are going ?, and the spotter can tell the driver the person being pulled has went down, safety reasons !.

@@alanshaw4655 didn’t know that. I am grandfathered in to not have a boater safety cert, however, I watched one on KZfaq that covered floatation devices, markers, water, safety and “rules of the road” and nothing covered spotters for pulling but thanks for the insight

@@redrightreturn1085 also your ski must fit everyone. If you have a 3 seater you can’t have a driver and 2 people on tube the one on the tube needs to fit on the ski you can’t be over capacity

@@alanshaw4655 I don’t know on the non 4x4 thing😬 I always see front wheel drive vans/SUV’s or rear wheel drive trucks spin and roast tires on the ramp every time I go out. One Titan that was 2 wheel drive had to let the boat go and pull out while I hooked up his trailer and pulled his boat out in 4x4. It’s possible but darn risk😬

@@redrightreturn1085 lol, well, my 2wd , reg cab silverado handles boat launches just fine. here's a tip..don't back way the heck down in the water !. sounds like to me, these folks don't know how to drive huh ?..lol.

@@alanshaw4655 most don’t but these ramps are on such an angle to where the trailer wheels get half submerged depending on the water levels which is always, rear wheels in the water . 😎

@@anthonydevoe6050 geez. I do know those wear rings are exactly that, “wear” like break pads, but I thought that was after maybe a few years and in salt water

lol..isn't the whole reason to ride a jet ski is to get wet ?, i mean...you are going to be on the water...sooo....GET WET !...LOL.

I actually tow a Slice inflatable to pull the kids on. Works just fine and doesn’t seem stressed👍🏽😎

Nice! 55 on 1/4 tank and by myself is the best mine ever did. Is yours the 4cyl? Mine is the 1049 cc 3 cyl

Yes, the TR1 1050cc

Yes, that is the actual exhaust smoke😎👍🏽

Oh ya, I got motivated the next time and found that out 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

🤣👍🏽

😂😂😂 That Always a good plan! 😂

@@scotthooper4170 🤣👍🏽

And the manual doesn’t show an image or location of the grease fitting? Thats odd, now I’m going to check my manual. Usually, grease fittings are for ball joints for cars to keep them greased but ya got me on that one.

That’s just exhaust smoke. You will see it when you flush the engine in your driveway with the hose and engine flush nipple. Now, when you say “from under” does that mean from the step area in the back, under the seats, or under the hull that sits in the water? If coming from the back of the wave runner, that’s the exhaust.

🤣👍🏽

Happy to help

Even for fresh water? This was after being on the lake not salt water

I’ve been schooled on this a few times since I made this 🤣👍🏽

We all have to learn somehow, as did I with KZfaq videos👍🏽 thanks for the comment.

🤣👍🏽

The TSB I am not sure of, however, I do know shoving the gas nozzle in to hard will compromise that seal, and, the gasket between the gas tank and round metal ring at this point in the video are known for the gas leak. You will smell gasoline, not vapors and it’s not a lot of units effected

Yes, there was lots of swearing my first go around with it 🤣👍🏽

Noooooooooooooo…. The anchor is secured to the front winch hook, then, that clip bungee is clipped to the rope on one side and to the cleat of the wave runner on the other side. This way, I can just pull the bungee to bring the anchor rope close to me to grab it and pull the anchor in. I wouldn’t anchor to the cleat 🤣👍🏽

@@redrightreturn1085 ah I see what you mean. If you anchor to the cleats you can just pull it straight up still lol

@@puscifer03dude52 true, but I’ve heard anchoring to the stern, starboard or port side will lead to water logging in the event there are swells. 👍🏽

@@redrightreturn1085 where do you jet ski at bro.

@@puscifer03dude52 mainly Jordan Lake and Norman Lake, but just haven’t had the opportunity to get it to Kure Beach Fort Fisher yet. Usually we go as a family and there’s too many sand bars on the beach, so I will have to go alone or with one other person. 👍🏽

I’m sure you’re right. Sometimes these phones change volume, or get washed out by other sounds. I keep seeing people with these little fuzzy mics on their shirt. Going to look into that.

Ya…. Especially when morons are hammer down going by the docks creating tsunami’s🤣👍🏽

Ah, yes, thanks for the proper identification

Sounds like it works, but I’d be too nervous that having a heating element where gas fumes collect may not fair well. 😬

Take a punch, or screwdriver or ice pic etc and punch a hole in the top of the oil filter, AND unscrew the crank case fill on top right where your coil packs for your spark plugs are😎👍🏽

The 1.8, sure, I guess now that I’ve had this for a year, but 52 MPH is fast enough for me on a wave runner. It’s definitely great on gas. I run it for a few hours each time, some WOT, some cruising and after the 3-4th time it will need gas👍🏽
