Squirting water from cylinder/crank gasket

[briangoodrich]

Hello. New to the forum...thanks for anytime given to my dilema...I was given a 96 GTX from my father in-law about 5 months ago...It was in storage since 2004...I replaced battery, new fuel, new oil, new plugs, gave her a once over and prayed she would fire...mind you I don't have a lot of ex. working or owning a pwc...I'm a dirtbike and atv guy...so...I gave her hell and she fired after about 3 min of cranking and came to idle in about a min. I turned on the water...water is squirting out of the forward cyl/crank surface...not a lot but enough to worry...I am pretty sure this is not suppose to be happening...so I shut her down and here I am...I am wanting to sell it and use the money for a new quad...anyway what is the diagnosis...any suggestions? thanks

Brian

It sounds like it needs a new gasket... It's not supose to do that...but you knew that didn't you. Do you have a seadoo shop manual? If not here’s an idea for you. You could join as a "premium member". As a premium member you can down load a authentic seadoo manual from the seadoo manual library. In the library is a variety of manuals for almost all years and models. You can view as many as you like on line as a PDF file, or download it and print it for your personal and private use. There are operator manuals and repair manuals for you to do your own repairs on your seadoo. The repair manuals have everything from troubleshooting, repair procedures to winterizing. It contains wire diagrams torque specs and pictures for disassemble and assemble instructions. In the spec sheets it tells everything needed to maintain oil changes, spark plug gaps, carburetor rebuilds and impeller wear ring tolerances.
