My kids and I picked up an old 1992 XP model 5851. I very cool ski with a rotax engine.
It ran fine for a while then the shaft started to slip between the flywheel and drive shaft.
I took the unit apart and found that the rubber plugs were missing from the ends of the shafts.
I replaced the plugs and it still slips.
I then replaced the shaft as it was a little worn.
When i went to install the new shaft it did not align with the flywheel so i shimmed the motor mounts. it worked for a little while but still the shaft moved and it slipped.
Why is there so much play between the shaft and the flywheel????
