Flushing connector,,,,,

When I serviced YAMAHA FX-HO,
I found bilge hose came off from strainer and that was damaged by coupling.
Bilge strainer is locate under the coupling.

I found damaged piece of hose and tube on the bottom of engine room.

 I removed coupling cover for replace damaged hose then I heard sound something fallen.

It was flushing connector, I found just under the coupling.

Other side was damaged like a cut half.

So customer dropped this connector before and when he ride may be after jump or something this connector stuck between coupling and coupling cover like a above picture. Also then this connector hit and pick of bilge hose.

Carbys disaster

Hi every one,
I show some picture of carbys from GP1200R today.
This ski was sitting for long time more than 6 month and now engine won't start.
Inside of carbys are damaged by corrosion very much.
Must be water sitting inside of fuel tank.

Pain in the ass !

Hi everyone, how is your jet ski life.
Here is Gold Coast keep good weather last one week but last night thunder storm was heavy rain.....

By the way I did jet pump service of Yamaha FX-HO but it was pain in the ass because snapped bolt of ride plate fixing bolt. I still hard to understand why Yamaha use hard type thread lock for these bolts. They should use silicon for these bolts or should use more strong bolts. When bolt snapped needs extra Labor for repair and remove broken bolts. This is very much pain in the ass mate!

Bolt was snapped 1 of 4 bolts and  another 3 bolts won't removed as I felt it will snap if go hard.

I dismounted ride plate but it was not easy.

Removed all rear exhaust sys and hoses for access to insert plate

Water box and exhaust hoses.

3 bolt were unscrewed safely because I heated top of insert nut.

Broken bolt stuck on insert plate.

Also pump fitting bolt was snapped,,,,,

It was so hard to removed broken bolt.

Total I spent 4 hr to these unnecessary job.

Not Good!
