So true!!!

May need to wind them out a turn or two

Spark plugs??

It will sort it self out eventually, I personally wouldn’t be worried

Hi, lots of great suggestions. Also check the earth to the engine maybe? I’m not an electrical guy but I think it would be good to tick that off

What’s top find!! Thanks for posting and happy your ski is sorted again

You do have a valid point, figured if it was aligned at the shaft hole it should be reasonably close. I didn’t find any binding cranking by hand. If I had the alignment tool I would use that method first and foremost

Hi Guys, I wanted to do an engine alignment check after replacing the carbon seal but didn’t have access to an engine alignment tool. I looked at options to make something but found a solution that worked really well for me that I had in the garage. I inserted a small medium sized USA mag...

How rewarding! Amazing difference

I wouldn’t think giving it more gas will be an issue (mind you I’m not a mechanic) just don’t go the other way and lean it out.

Be absolutely certain you have a good connection from the battery to the engine block (earth). They can corrode and break over time and engine vibration. If you don’t have a solid connection it won’t kick over. Other things I would check would be all of the fuses in the fuse box next to the...

Glad you nailed it!

Great you found it, I had similar issues the last time I took out my ski so will check if I possibly have the same issue. Could see anything immediately but I’m thinking I may have to pull off the jet pump to get a better look.

Yep, I would do exactly what he said!

Great pic!

That looks superb

I love all things with engines!! I have a BMW S1000RR for the cooler months in Australia, and the GSX for the warmer months. They both live in the garage together and are best friends

Fit the shaft and turn over by the crank to free it up, also leave the back bolts alittle loose until it’s free. Try that maybe

I just went through the same recently when I replaced my wear ring. (It’s basically very tight to turn and the motor cannot crank). Remove your spark plugs, try cranking. Very important!!! - Check the torque of the 4 main nuts that secure the jet pump assembly as you may have the jet pump on a...

Cmon bud, got to have hope
