I am new to Jet Skis and was wondering if there is a way to start and
run the Kawasaki 900 STX out of the water. I recently aquired this
machine and need to check it out. Thanks in advance.

There should be some type of connection for attaching a water hose. On
my Kaw 750s this was a small pipe on top of the motor with a black
rubber cap. A hose (without an end) could be clamped on (there are
various kits for quick connections). BE SURE TO START THE SKI BEFORE
TURNING ON THE WATER AND TURN OFF THE WATER BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN THE
SKI. If you do not, you will get water in the motor and could cause
major damage. Please go to www.PWCtoday.com and look at the kawasaki
forum for many answers and a large group of jetskiers to ask questions
of.
