Ultra 150 lemon check

Felix Spiess 22 April 2005 08:51:45
 Hi,

I'm going to buy my first Jetski this Saturday, a used Kawa Ultra 150 '2000.
Can anybody give me some advice what I need to look for to avoid buying a
lemon? Are there any typical things that break down on the Ultra 150? How do
I make sure the engine performs well (won't have the opportunity to take it
to the water)?

any help appreciated

Felix

If you can't ride it, there isn't much you can do to insure how it runs.
Compression check will at least tell you if the rings are bad or if
there are other obvious internal problems. Most problems with pwc are
the result of improper storage and are carb related. It will run fine
on the trailer because it's not under load but once put into the water,
all kinds of driveability problems can surface. Also, the pump bearings
on the Ultra have been problematic and again, something that isn't
easily checked without a water test. You really need to find a way to
get it into the water and run it for more than just a few minutes and
see how it performs - hesitation, cavitation, smoothness of
acceleration, etc..

well i believe that the 150 came out in 1999 if im not mistaken. I
had the 1999 when it came out and there was a recall because the rear
step on it would come lose and fly off at speeds. I dont know if it
was improved in the years to come but it is something that you can
watch out for.
