Noise in the Jet Pump Area ?

Texas_Craig · 03-05-2010, 12:30 PM

I have a New 2007 turbo with approximately 8 hrs on it. I have never owned a PWC before and so I'm not sure if what I'm hearing is normal or not.. When it is out of the water and I'm flushing it, I hear a rattle coming from pump area... It almost sounds like metal on metal rattling something loose. The ski runs fine and of course you hear nothing in the water. Just wounder if I should take it in to be checked or if it is normal ?? It is kind of rattle/vibration..

Thanks Wasn't sure,, I do most of all my own wrenching and it didn't scare me but like I said this is my first ski.. So its best to ask the ones who know.

Because the ski idle is not cosistint throughout each revolution, you hear the impeller rocking back and forth on the driveshaft spline. it is normal and you can eliminate it by lubing the shaft with molly paste next time the pump is off. Rattle will be gone.
