Do you think I blew up my own motor?

My boat was awesome, before I took it to Lake Mohave that day - I took it to a shop in Bullhead City/Laughlin, to see if it needed any oil and etc.

My oil tank looked like it was half or a little less than half and the gentleman at the shop said it was ok.

I did have over 800 pounds on my boat, and it clearly states no more than 650 lbs - 4 people.

It sounded like it wanted to go, but it wouldnt go over 25 miles per hour with all us pigs on the boat (lol), do you think thats what did it? or it was just a matter of time?

Here is a video the day before it stopped working:

can't see your video but i'd say you had too much weight on the boat, or weight not properly distributed. 800lbs on a little sportster is a lot, since the boat barely weight more than that.

That shouldnt blow it up though. How does it run now with 1 person?

it doesnt run. Has 0psi in one cylinder.

When he purchasedthe ski, it had issues. Got ahold of me, so i bounced on over. Noticed at the time, the wear ring was wadded up around the impellor, along with impellor in sad shape. So i continued to take a gander at the motor. Told him, its a good idea to go thru the carbs..etc. I fixed his "ignition" switch, which was barely making connections, along with doing impellor/wear ring. When i pulled the carbs, i noticed BOTH oil injections tubes were broke. Pointed it out to him, replaced them, went thru carbs, re-installed...etc.

If you take a look back at his post/threads, he's been to Puddingstone, numerous times, since i went thru the boat, then he decides to bounce to river, and what you know...takes a dump on him.

I'm guessing, it was a matter of time, especially since the oil lines were broke.

PM'ed you, cheap.
