My F12X was only running about 30 mph max. I read here it might be my turbo. So, I pulled the turbo out (and my BACK HURTS!!!). I can turn the turbo with my hand, but I cannot spin it. It is not hard to turn, but if I try to spin it, it doesn't spin freely at all. Do I need a new turbo? Is it the bearings? Can I just replace the bearings? I have not torn it down further than the pic you see. Do I need to tear it down further?
Thanks for any help,
Greg

  2. Replacing instrument panel (hours)

    Honda Jetski
    If I replace my instrument panel with a new/newer one, is there a way to correct the hours if the replacement has less hours? Or is this data stored in the engine computer and will be correct when I replace it? -Chris 2007 Aquatrax F12

    Honda Jetski
    Happy New Year everyone! I just pulled my pump on my aquatrax during the winter season to try and see why my holeshot is so bad. This is what i found on the impeller: I checked my wear ring tolerance and was within the specs per the Aquatrax Service Manual (0.02 in). What should i do with this...

  5. Low mph

    Honda Jetski
    I have a 2007 F12X and at times the ski will run 60mph and sometimes it will only run 50mph. It doesn't seem to be misfiring and runs good otherwise. Does anyone else have this issue?
