So I got around to doing a compression test, the Polaris (Fanny) is probably fine, but the Yamaha (Pack) is.....destroyed. 1 cylinder had 145 and the other had literally zero. No compression at all. Fannt is a bit low on the rear cylinder (it rear out at 120, 125, 75), but a tank of gas/oil may clear that up - I’ll be keeping a close eye on it. It still has some compression on that cylinder so it may be smart to do the piston rings on it. Still researching that step.

So last night I opened it up. Join me on this journey:

Well, with some great advice I’m looking into having it professionally rebuilt or purchasing a remanufactured engine, both options come with a warranty.

It’s a good thing I only used about 50% of my budget purchasing them.

You know the policy - if it goes on the water - IT BREAKS. Thankfully I planned accordingly, still sucks though.

I generally agree, but technically I was sad on a jet ski last night while sitting on it with the engine cover off.

yeah well with a solid replacement motor it should run great with minimal maintenance for a decade.

Can’t wait for the fun to start.

probably should be corrected to “Have you ever seen a sad person on a jet ski with good compression?”

Oh yeah man, it’s one of the reasons my wife was on board to buy them! They are fantastically 90s and when I first showed her the picture she said - do they come with a complimentary Fanny Pack? And I was like, no but I think you just named them. Bigger one is Fanny (obviously lol) smaller is Pack. And she was like OK I’M IN! *high fives*
