97 gtx vibration

[nodroc2987]

i have a 1997 gtx that i have had for the lsat 5 years runs like a champ but if i jump on it from idle it vibrates alot and doesnt take off out of the hole well. then it doesnt top out where it used to and it vibrates a little more its mainly at full throttle from a stand still and cruising over 40-45 mph is vibrate. i do not work on these that often but i have the impeller housing off and can see the drive shaft which looks fine(unbent) and the impeller has some knicks in it and i have a rock beach that i have occasionally sucked a few rocks in the intake so i am wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems what should be done to fix it and possibly what should be done to repair.

Check the clearance on the wear ring, or engine allignment did you ever have the engine out?

the engine has never been out of the waverunner and what should i be looking for around the wear ring like a large gap between the two or what?

grab ahold of the pipe, and pull. Checking to see if motor mounts are broke.

With pump off, remove grey shield from back of ski, and then you'll see your carbon ring assy and accordian boot. Where the ring rides against (steel collar), push that collar toward the back about 1/4in, to expose a metal clip. Remove that clip, so you can pull the driveshaft out, and inspect it, for bendage.
