  • This 1988 Yamaha WaveRunner 500. It was sitting in a field for years on a trailer. In this video I test for spark, compression, clean the fuel tank and take it out for a test ride! These old vintage skis run forever!

    Man that was a great score I picked one up for three hundred and had to replace the starter and steering cable and rebuilt the carb, they are a fun little machine.

      So far. Our 3 kids have drove the poop out of this ski all summer. Still runs fantastic! Just winterized it. I picked up a second one. It needed a CDI and a carb. I got it running good ... Pulled the motor to have for a spare. Great little skis.

      Just keep an eye on the driveline. The motor will run forever. It's the bearings in the mid-shaft that will go first. So make sure to grease it. Once a season. You probably already know that. lol. Thanks for watching, Appreciate it!

      That’s awesome! They do run forever if you take care of them. The two we own got beat on by the kids all summer. Run like clocks!

    I have a1990 Yamaha wave runner 650 XL runs perfectly... I bought it as a project but all it needed was a battery. Best 400 Dollars I ever spent.

      That’s awesome! The 650 (similar to the 701) is probably the best engine ever put in a pwc. Basically bomb proof! It will run forever.. I’m actually about to drop a 650 engine into one of my kids 500’s. Hope to get a video out soon. Thanks for watching and keep me posted on your ski!

      Haha! On a scale of 1-10. 10 being full out... I was at about a 9.8 on the throttle... lol I'd need to lean forward to hit a 10.
