Hey guys, Major NOOB here and i interested in buying my first stand up jet ski. I found this one on craigslist here 1989 KAWASAKI 650SX Stand Up Jet Ski
Its pretty far from me and needs work now i called the guy and he said that they replaced the motor because the old one the crankshaft broke. So he bought a used one off ebay. He said after replacing it the ski qould only go about 10 mph. I had a few ideas on this problem:
1) the engine is running to rich causing it to "sputter"
2) the impeller shaft is bent and the impeller is rubbing against the housing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(my friends ski had this problem on a 951 bombarder sea doo and now it works fine)
Any help would be great or if you think its a bad deal that would be great too!
Thanks Kevin
