LIFE OF A JETSKI MECHANIC: We have a locked up jet unit on a 2017 YAMAHA VX

[@chipanderson7464]

Great video! I had the same problem. Bought a new stainless impeller housing. No more wear ring. 2015 vxr, always in salt. Also replaced the starter, impeller, all 4 motor mounts.

Hands Down ✋️ this is the Best Informative Video I ever Watched. Thank you! I'm now Subscribed & look forward to more of your videos.

[@fiily1]

This is why I run my jetski only at the lake, saltwater kills everything eventually. Great vids!

[@JetEnvy_TV]

Your missing out on some good wave action, try it out some time

[@Waverunnerkitchen]

i really appreciate you making this

[@JetEnvy_TV]

Thank you!

[@randomcitizen3532]

Best maintenance video I've seen. Thanks

[@JetEnvy_TV]

Appreciate the kind words, look out for new videos coming soon! 🙏

[@joshmx28]

Good info for a quick fix or making the weekend but Id still order the part and just go for fixing it right if you have the time. Hell by the time you got through winter the housing could swell in new spots and it would be making noise in spring anyway

[@josephrandazzo6667]

What do you think about honing the wear ring . Instead of grinder

[@mekuranda]

Brilliant information....thank you....I bought a 2013 VX and was worried about this common fault, and so priced a new housing in Australia and they quoted me $350+.....if you grind the high spots once will the problem accelerate ...i.e. thinner stainless more susceptible to bulging again? At the moment it is not seized however it is likely the impeller has worn the high spots from constant use and there may be no stainless left where the high spots would have been....I will inspect the jet unit overt he next week or so. Subbed as I am sure to learn a great deal from you.

[@JetEnvy_TV]

I'm glad this was helpful, the tips I've shared are definitely not a cure all for this issue and yes the problem might continue if the ski isn't getting used as often. This video is for the DIY guy that needs a quick temporary fix to get out this weekend. Thanks again for subscribing, new video coming out SOON!

Worn shaft bearings pushed impeller forward causing contact and once it sits it rusts and fussed , don't just replace wearing, replace shaft bearings

[@justinsilvers6629]

I have the same problem with my Yamaha fzs svho thanks now I’m gonna go fix it

[@joshspringston]

hey man, so i got the same noise when starting but i had it running yesterday and the battery died, i went out bought a new battery put it in now it’s making that noise when i try to start it and the screen and radio shuts off after trying to start. Any ideas?

[@camglock212]

I have the same issue! I've changed my starter relay and spark plugs. And it still doing it.

[@cG-es8mb]

What could the customer do in order for this not to happen or was there nothing they could do?

[@JetEnvy_TV]

You'll usually see this on skis that sit on floating docks. I recommend hosing down the jet unit as well as the entire ski with fresh water after each ride.

[@brandendebuhr2997]

Can you tell me what the torque specs are when reattaching the pump to the back of the ski for the various bolts? Snug? or to specific ft lbs...

[@JetEnvy_TV]

Your going to have to pull out a manual for that kind of information. That's information that I do not retain. After over 13 years of working on skis I only pull the book out for engine torque specs.

[@LandPirates]

question,,,,,,i got a 2008 waverunner ,had to have it on its side for hull repair for like 60 days,,when i let it back down there is no oil in the tank,,,,,,,,,,,is it ok to just ad oil and start it??????????? where did the oil go????help please

[@JetEnvy_TV]

Is it in the hull? I don't see it would have ended up in the engine but you could always add oil, make sure you prime it and add oil to the gas for safety but then you gotta find the leak or you might blow your engine in time.

[@JetEnvy_TV]

Pull the plugs and crank tge engine to make sure it's not in the engine

My yamaha 2018 wave runner fxho is been sitting in my garage for 2 years, I put in a new battery, but I get no display or power, help please , thanks.

[@JetEnvy_TV]

I'd love to help you out. Reach out to me on instagram.

[@justmark4896]

So why did it go out of round?

[@JetEnvy_TV]

I'm glad you asked! I've only ever worked on salt water vehicles and what happens is salt water will find its way into any openings, the wear ring and housing are 2 parts and corrosion will build up between the two causing it to swell. That or the two metals have a reaction together and it starts to swell. I hope this was helpful and thank you for the question. ... I see you have a seadoo, you will never have this issue because you would have a plastic wear ring

[@TheStephenspann27]

You can buy a version that is solid stainless, but they are close to $400 vs $110.

[@nemonespider]

Hey bro I have a 2009 seadoo rxt and I can hear the starter hard click and engine rocks this bike was sitting almost a year .. any suggestions

[@JetEnvy_TV]

Battery voltage?

[@nemonespider]

@@JetEnvy_TV just came off a fresh charge 13.0

[@JetEnvy_TV]

@@nemonespider whats the voltage under load?, pull the plugs and see if it cranks. Check jet unit for anything that could be stuck inside. If that's good whats the voltage at the starter? Probably best to bench test the starter. Does the motor spin over by hand?

[@nemonespider]

@@JetEnvy_TV I’m a novice but I’ll try to test first thing in the morning I’m just glad I tried to test a guy told me I needed a new harness and charged 700 to buy and install.. I wasn’t getting any beeps or indication on the dash but after a good charge I got the beeps now this.. how do I test those things you mentioned?

[@JetEnvy_TV]

@@nemonespider lmao 🤣 😂 your gunna have to get a hold of a manual or Google some things. It would be way to much to type out in a comment.

what if mines doin the same but my propeller spins

[@JetEnvy_TV]

If it spins, it will wear down the high spots

Worn bearings in the pump cause impeller to push forward onto wear ring! Not wearing swelling! , Don't just replace wearing, replace shaft bearings

[@kelseywedge7167]

Very expensive repair
