What parts do you need?

I know the worlds biggest Jet Ski fanatic that has my last three skis...I would be willing to bet hes has five of whatever it is you are looking for... :thumbup:

Thanks GT :)

Gasket kits are easy..

Pistons and rings, get a hold of Wiseco, they have always treated me good...

Batteries Plus (cheapest around) :thumbup:

As for hard parts, bearings and seals, the bearings are off the shelf in the pump, but the crank needs to be separated for bearings....I will get a hold of him this week.... :thumbup:
