Hello all. Been here a few times looking at information to help troubleshoot my 1996 Challenger. The boat was given to me (literally) by a friend who has had nothing but bad luck with it.
I have owned go-fast boats for over 20 years, but an entering into the Jet Boat/PWC arena as it is more of a small manageable toy than anything else.
Thought I had an ECU problem with the dread 5amp fuse blowing all the time, but wound up being a bad battery. :lol:
Fixed a host of other small problems and have the thing running, but now have water flying out from under the head on the (will figure out how to post some pictures) and my only summation is the jug is cracked... previous owner said he always had water in the bilge, well, go figure!?!?!
To pull the jug looks easy enough (remove head, unbolt jug and slide it out) - but to re-install, can the rings be compressed by hand and slide jug back over? I use to do this to my 2-stroke MX bike all the time and was hoping the theory is the same.
If it is this easy, my first plan of attack might be some grinding and JB Weld to see what it can do as it is only holding in water and not compressed gas/oils or find an aluminum welder and get the crack sealed.
