If you’ve been reading anywhere on the net, you’ve probably seen the issues with the grey tempo lines used on most older Sea Doo watercraft. The correct fix is to replace the lines with new more fuel and alcohol resistant ones but that’s an expensive time consuming project. A simpler peace of mind solution is to purchase about a foot of fuel line and a clear fuel filter from an auto parts store and install as close to the carb(s) as possible. That way if you get any grey line deterioration, the filter will catch it before it gets to the small internal Mikuni filters and causes a lean condition. When installing, also make sure to replace any lines after the filter (lines connecting dual carbs, etc.) so you don’t have problems there. Occasionally checking the filter will tell you if it needs cleaned or replaced. I also can sell you the filter and line if needed, but why bother when you can get those items locally!
While servicing the fuel system, you should also check and if needed, disassemble and clean the fuel valve occasionally. If you find you need new, I also stock those in OEM and aftermarket at a discount as well.
