I'm 100% new to PWC, 2 strokes and have only owned my Seadoo for a month. New to forum and reviewing it for the last few days looks like a great source of information. I've been searching forums and youtube trying to find information on hunting down noises for probable diagnose to my seadoo mechanical issues. I see post on a 94 driveshaft but nothing about the actual sound its making. Looking at my seadoo from above the engine bay I don't see any obvious driveshaft problems like the other post.
Seadoo has been running really well with exception to a bit rich and fouling plugs. I have put about 10 hours on it since I bought it. Plan to rebuild the carbs this winter. I did replace the solenoid as it died on me at Lake Shasta. Now I know to keep a box of spare parts for the old seadoo on trips.
We had it out on the lake in the morning. Running very well with no odd noises. Shocked how fast this old Seadoo goes! Suddenly the Seadoo made this noise and lost all forward propulsion. Originally I was thinking motor trouble but now taking a closer look and listening potentially I have driveshaft issue? On the video I start below the hull. To me it looks like there is driveshaft wobble and there is sound from the impeller. Then I transition the video from above the engine and that sounds is load. I'm not sure what a bad 2 stroke engine sounds like so I'm sure that is very possible.
When I hold the crankshaft bellows I don't feel like its sloppy or loose at all. I'm thinking about removing the pump, impeller and driveshaft then start the engine to see if I hear the noise.
Looking for feedback to diagnose.
Thanks!!
