Re: Blown Piston
The last two digits of the VIN tag on the back of the ski are the model year. Look at the engine ID tag on top of the flywheel for the engine size. Post a picture and we can tell you for sure what it is. You'll need to pull the engine and disassemble it for inspection to figure out exactly what went wrong.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: Blown Piston
You have a 720 engine. Most likely, The carbureator is clogged up with debris and it ran lean on that clyinder, burning a hole in the piston. The fuel selector valve may be clogged up too.
Next time, when your pwc is not running right park it and fix it. By continuing to run it, you spent an extra $1000.00 or so that is unnecessy, and you still need to fix the carbs and fuel system.Bill O'Neal <br>

Re: Blown Piston
First, wrong spark plugs. Only use NGK BR7ES. Second, that's (obviously now) a 657 engine. If those spark plugs are of too hot a heat rnage, you could have very possibly burned the hole in the piston that way. No matter what, you now need a new engine.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: Blown Piston
When you melt a hole in the piston, the crank bearings are contaminated, and the crank needs to also be replaced.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: Blown Piston
Wow! look at that sparkplug ! That is MAJOR detonation and enough heat to melt the steel electrode.
This is caused by one of three things or all, a major air leak through a case seal or cracked intake manifold ( which is very likely with a 657 engine) or a almost completely clogged up carbureator.
You need to throughly inspect that intake manifold for cracks, the carbs for debris, the selector valve for debris, and, you might as well just buy a rebuilt shortblock as the aluminum from the piston is lodged into your crankshaft bearings and you may need new case seals anyway.Bill O'Neal <br>
