simple is not the word!!!! this thing is a cake walk. after doing alot of research online Ive learned alot!!! have the venturi valve is off and jetpump so I can replace impeller boot, orings and neoprene seals and jet pump oil. have ordered new steering cable and choke cable. removed exaust so I could remove starter and build new negative and positive battery cables. have ordered oem mikuni rebuild kits for the 2 carbs. have also bought 20' of new 1/4 inch fuel lines. cleaned fuel selector switch. ordered a oil delete plate(kit) to covert it to pre mix fuel. the wear ring looks like its brand new so it good to go. anything else I can do for preventative maintenence?

well nothing is free!!! you guys taught me that lesson when I first posted my V a 1 1/2 ago!!!lol!!! so far I have about $234.00 dollars in this ski. OEM mikuni carb kits and needle and valve seats are not cheap!!!!! steering cable, neoprene gasket,and choke cable has added to the bill. Thank god a good friend of mine is a jetski tech. and he works out of his garage so alot of nick knacks have been freebies!!!! Thanks Blake!!! you guys should see this ski in tip top shape in about a week.

Kracker you sound like you got a pretty good handle on gettin' her in top shape...last one I had, I paddled it back to the ramp a couple of hundred yards...using the SEAT...

Dayum bro....sounds like you've become an overnight jetski tech sensation! I had a couple in my younger days. My last one was a 1994 Polaris. Fun times....you will have. Pics!

Thanks Blue, I am blessed with being able to pick up on things very fast, when you back that with the research power of the internet your possibilities are endless! There is so much you can learn via internet its ridiculous. And of course having forums like this one makes it better.

I 1000% agree with that statement. I remember when I first got online in 1995 with that 14.4 dialup modem.....the moment it dawned on me that I could answer ANY question I could possibly dream up with a couple clicks (and a generous dose of patience, aka dialup).
