Oh almost forgot about this thread, last time I posted I had the ski running again, took it out ran for 15min, then died on me. Wouldn't fire again, next day it started right up, took it out, same thing + I almost sank it paddling back from the middle of the river, turns out the seal around the flywheel cover was bad and salt water rusted the stator and bendix, the stator was the problem, I thought the motor was done for but its just inside the flywheel cover that it's rusty, the rest is good
