Well pretty thankful I wanted to change the prop… I found out why the ski was being a tough gal to get ripping right. The rear pump seal blew out… bearings are still good and thank god. So tearing down the motor to replace all 3 seals, I got super lucky some awesome jet ski bros had them in their tool box but still had to order a full engine gasket kit. I also discovered my wear ring in terrible shape, awesome jet ski bros had one for me, so I got that installed tonight and the Solas 9/15 impeller. I replaced the old flame arrestor filters adapters with the slick ones from Ada. The hits keep coming, the dry pipe had been rubbing on a motor mount bolt, rubbed a pin hole leak in the pipe, so we hammered a dent in it and will be tig welded on Sunday.
I was super lucky when we checked the piston and cylinder walls.. they look good
