Need help with locating Kawasaki engine...

[Cummins Thunder]

Hey guys, I am working on a 2003 Kawasaki STX DI Jet Ski, for a little extra cash.

I am trying to locate a reman motor or even a new motor. Do any of yall have advice as to where I should look? The local Kawasaki dealer seems to have their head up their... So I am kind of stuck at the moment.



TIA, CJ

CJ,



Try SBT or PMC for a reman. A local boat rental place tried the SBT's one season in his Sea Doo's and I don't think he had very good luck with them. He's out of business now. The Kaw engines seem to be a little tougher and less finicky than the Sea Doo engines so you may do well with them. I don't know much about PMC.



What's wrong with yours? A rebuild on a Kaw is not too bad.

Where was this motor last seen?



Have you called in Walker of the Texas Rangers?

You are correct about the Kawasaki being easy to work on... But not when its had salt water in it for 3+ months



Kind of sucks cause I had already ordered all the parts to complete the job before I tore into the motor and found WAYYYY more damage than I had ever imagined I would see.

The owner claims that it had water in it for 1-2 weeks BULL

SBT builds a ton of engines. They come with a no fault 1 year replacement. A lot of people talk bad about SBT but they are there to answer questions on www.pwctoday.com almost 24/7. I've had nothing but pleasant dealings with them, and I have 4 skis of my own.

Your heading stated that you were trying to "locate" this engine.



I thought it might be lost.



I guess my humor was lost.
