Well, we finally got the starter in the motor that the seller told me had the bad starter. I got all excited and figured good time for compression test on the cylinders. Starboard side motor forward cylinder is 150. Rear cylinder was 165. Really excited. Went to do port motor. Forward cylinder pulled plug, really bad corrosion and sand around electrode. Sinking feeling. We can hear the starter engaging but no spin. So I'n guessing seized motor. But on the offside I sprayed some Fogging oil and Penetrating oil into the cylinders to see if in a day it will spin. At that point I want to run compression to see what it is and where to go from there.
Now, this isnt my first boat. But it is my first Jetboat. I've had Waverunners before as well. My issue at this point is do I just say screw it and plan on a rebuild? You know hope for the best but plan for the worst? My big issue is that I cannot at this point with my shoulder even expect to be able to pull it and work on it. I can only stay in certain positions for less than 15 minutes before losing feeling in my arm (Thanks Uncle Sam).
So if you all would help me plan or gameplan these issues away that would be great.
Thanks again.
Patrick.
