K, I am completely new to the world of PWC. I have road bikes, cars, boats.. just now pwc. Anyways.. I have just purchased 2, a 1991 waverunner and a 89 wavejammer. Both have the WR500. Only one had a battery, When I went to float test the one with the battery (The runner), all was well. It started right up, engine seemed to be pretty strong and no apparent leaks. Only one problem, it barely moves. I maybe hit 10 miles an hour.. maybe. with no real thrust in power. My first thought was impeller. But infortunately I'm not quite sure how to check for this. Today I replaced the no name plugs with the NGK's as well as degreased the engine \ bay. After the plug change it wouldnt start until I noticed and fixed a loose connection. Im kinda wondering If that was the problem to begin with. My problem now is that I have taken the thing half apart already to prep it for the paint so I cant exactly take it for a test spin or anything. I guess My question is ; Could someone please descibe a way that I can check the impeller or the impeller seal? Thanks in advance guys.
