Hi -
Got a 92 seadoo gt was running great. Niece was riding, took a sharp turn and she said it slowly died out.
Hitting the start button produces a loud "CLUNK". Took out battery charged over night, still get the "clunk". Took out plugs - still "Clunk". Hooked up battery from speed boat, still "clunk". Can't turn shaft by hand even without plugs in the engine.
I let it sit over night, and this morning it turned over - maybe 1/2 dozen times - just like normal, but it didn't start, then it went back to the "CLUNK". Tried boat battery again - still CLUNK.
The clunk sounds like bendix is springing out and hitting the flywheel, but it just can't turn it.
ideas on what to check? I know my way around engines - car, outboat and I/O boat engines, but this is my first time digging into a PWC engine.
Thanks!
