Ok i know theres not a PWC section on the site but....i wanted to share a few pics & seek some advice. Ive only been on a standup a few times & had a blast & the price was right [free] so i had to get it. Its an 86 300 & appears to be complete minus the rear nozzle. The fuel cell was cracked so its in the trash..i need to get those 2 items along with a new battery when $$ allows. The motor turns over freely & according to my friend it has aftermarket bars & rear plate [dont know what its called]. Ive removed the faded decals & ill end up doing some bodywork & shooting it down the road. Ok the pics...

Always wanted one good luck with it
-
If your any bit over 150 pounds that thing is going to be a super slow.
-
yeah the 300 doesnt have much pull, great for kids to learn on though. If you enjoy it you might want to consider a 550, or my personal choice, an X2.
-
Looks like a stock ride plate and an aftermarket pipe. Do you have the steering cable for it?
Good deal for free, pwctoday.com is your friend. I have a 701 Superjet.
-
Yeah that ride plate is stock and it looks like the po used it in the ocean. The bars look stock as well. The kerker pipe is after market and a decent pipe for a Kawi. You need a steering cable though. Where are you located ? There's a place in brea called pacific Motorsports that has all that stuff for pretty cheap. Talk to Gordon. Can't beat free but as stated above if your over 150 it's gonna be a dog. Still a fun ski though.

Square love. Mine is out almost every other night. What handle poles do you have on each?
Gordon is a cool guy, he's supplied me with some needed good used parts over the years for the square and my old SXI. One of his guys didn't use any Loctite when they reassembled my pump though.
I'm sure if I called him he would've shipped me some new bolts at no charge, they stand by their work. Now that I live 2500 miles away, it was just easier to purchase local.

Free is always good, I started on a free 440 myself! I have had my share of Kawi's 300 is general are slow, they are great for your little ones to go have fun on but that's about it. I thought was 440 was a little hard to ride due to it being underpowered. I have. 650 Kawi's that has never let me down, it's looking a little rough lately but that only because I don't really take it out any more.
Side note- always really wanted a x2 and a square nose! Never ridden on a square nose because I know I'd be hooked and have to get one, then watch it side on my side yard. Haha

Nice. The white one has an ac racing aluminum pole and the red one is a custom pole the po had made in Hawaii ( that's where the hull is from ). The white one has a built 701 and the red one I just built a 760 for it. Still needs some tuning but it's a monster
I've been going to Gordon for over ten years. He's a cool dude that likes to help when he can. Did you ever meet a short guy named mark Gomez ? He's a pro freestyle rider now. He's also helped me a lot with tuning and ideas for the red ski
Here's a couple pics of the motors

760 from 61x or 64x? Yea, I've talked to Mark there a few times. He sold me on the worx 201 grate.

From a 61x. The 64x doesn't have the snap from the bottom end that I wanted. So it's a built 61x with attitude lol

Yeah, port timing on the 64 is no good for stand ups. You got a 62t bottom end?
-
Nope it's all 61x. It was built by blowsion

TY for the replies guys. Yes it does have the steering cable its just missing the rear nozzle. With the leads you guys mentioned & one i found im hoping to get the parts i need. It also needs a starter...with a full charge battery all im getting is a click when i hit the start button. This will be a winter project for me swwing as its 110 every day here & i work alot.
-
Ok since my last post ive had the starter off..brushes & armeture look good & im getting a clicking coming from the "comtrol box". Is there a part in that box i can replace in the hopes it will make the starter turn over ?

there's a solenoid in there for the starter you can jump it by the two prongs that poke through the box those solenoids may be hard to come by and$$ you can use pretty much any solenoid I used a outboard solenoid once to get by

TY for the advice jamiemwedmore1234. I ran into a friend who has a kawasaki jet ski motor manual so i made copies of a few pages & learned alot. Mine was missing the cable that goes from the solenoid to the starter, i added that & a bit of gas / starting fluid & she runs quite loud & she sounds healthy too ! So my new mission is to make a new fuel tank & later buy the steering nozzle.
Old tank is gonzo..Ill be reusing the threaded part....

I also solved the stubborn throttle cable issue. Made a bracket & added another return spring...

Ok the tank i made it sealed & painted & installed. Ill have to fab some brackets so i can use the factory bungee's to secure it in place....the new tank is a bit longer & taller. Also repaired a section of the carb that had broken off & the PO used silicone to "hold" it in place...JB weld to the rescue !

Ill have new pics up soon. I just made a rolling stand for it & have located the steering nozzle i need, it should be here soon from PHX AZ. 8)

Ok it's been awhile since I've worked on the ski but i have an update. I picked up a pump off a 550 with a Skat track 15-5 impeller that i want to install on the 300. To do that I'll need to swap shafts but I may found have that part somewhat close to me. I also got started sanding down the engine cover today & it looks like Im working with original paint which is good 8)
And the fuel tank is done & installed...pics soon !

I just built one for the old lady last season almost as fast as my 650 an! There both stock with props

Also if you need parts let me know my buddy is a distributor for ski parts and builds skis he can have most parts next day for pretty cheap.
