Fresh fuel first.. Putting bad gas through a carb can gum it up and you will be spending extra $$ on parts.. Do a compression test before anything, after you put the head back on..

The shop is probably correct too.... It will need a new motor, sooner rather tan later. the pistons were stuck to the cyl because of rust. luckily, rings are a little more resistant than the other things in your motor, like the bearings in the crank... Those bearings got the same moisture treatment as the rings, and they are probably pretty pitted.

It's fully your choice..

Fire it up and run it, it may run fine for 5 minutes or 5months, but when it goes, it will probably throw a rod through the cases and make it a REAL expensive choice.

If it were mine, I would be pulling the exhaust and intake all off and getting a real close look at that crank..

Re: Maintenance after I unfroze Motor?

Well I have access to a new motor from a family member who bought one 2 years ago but never installed it due to other missing parts on motor, I only paid 900 for the thing, so I will do a compression test and go from there. Our plan is just to have some fun with it during the summer and sell at the end of summer. I know I can get the same price for it at the end of summer.

I just didn’t know if there was any special kind of stuff I should put on pistons or in cylinders to help with any future lube.

I assume I should be able to get the compression numbers from seadoos website? Since it is an SBT motor are the numbers going to be different? I didnt know if they change the motors at all. I leave one plug in or not? It's been years since I have done one.

Thanks for the information

130-150 should be were it's at.. As long as they are equal, or at least within 0% of eachother..

Pull one plug, open throttle all the way and crank...

Re: Maintenance after I unfroze Motor?

so to confirm, I leave one plug in? I saw somewhere online that said to remove both?

It's personal preference...

Re: Maintenance after I unfroze Motor?

I assume it won't affect the numbers much then?

Nope.. With one plug out, the motor will have less resistance, allowing it to spin faster..
