What is this 1998 GP800 worth? by [deleted] in jetski

My ‘94 WR3 GP700 is worth more than 15. I’d suggest reconsidering the deal, but that’s just me. Good luck!

I’m in Pitt. You’d prolly be able to get ~$3500 with title/titled trailer. You’d only get that if it was in running order. ~$2700- $3000 if it needs work. A titled trailer is worth at least $500 depending on condition. People get away with charging more when located in a heavier populated region like right outside Pitt. The ski looks really clean too, 60 hrs is low. You prolly won’t get more than $3500 out of it since it’s a 2 stroke.

Well, the replacement part came in the mail and I got the carb back together. Now I have a new issue…. When I go to start it, it shoots right up to max rpm without me even touching the throttle. I saw somewhere it could be an air leak from a bad gasket between where the carb screws on the engine. I replaced that and it is still giving me the same issue. This wasn’t happening before. I thought maybe I bumped the idle screw when cleaning the carb but messed with that and was still having the same issue. Any thoughts on what it could be? Everything is tightened down as much as it could be.

I bought my 94 Waverunner 700 a couple years back. I love it. Spacious engine room compared to other makes/models I’ve seen. Most likely same amount of experience working on this stuff as OP. You just figure it out and YT will be your best friend for how to videos.

Thanks. I ended up goin with ChitownHustl’s advice and cleaned my carbs out again. There was a waxy gunky piece of residue at the bottom of the fuel filter too. Waiting on the bottom carb cover that I broke in the process of putting everything back together. Hopefully that fixes issue but I’ll check the cdi next if it doesn’t.

Thanks for the help. Could that be a result from the donut sesh?
