Today We Wrench - Wet Wednesday's: Seadoo DIY Series EP.4 Wear Ring Replacement 

Nice dude same I just bought a 97 gsi and gsx

Man I appreciate you taking the time to say this. Thank you

It does help greatly to heat the pump in the oven. ALSO, be prepared, have ALL your tools and accessories to do the job ready, and immediately GET to it once you remove the ring and pump housing from the freezer and oven. The parts lose their temperature advantage VERY FAST once they touch each other, and WILL get very hard to put together if you fart around for very long trying to get it in. Get your stuff together and whack that sucker in QUICK.

Appreciate you

Bad RV seals. Rebuild for sure

😊Pz😊

it pops 0 0:36 ppp😊ppplllppk

Thanks!

Glad it helped! Thanks for taking the time to write this

Thats covered in the first restoration series video

I have the same issue did you address this? Or is it because we have the anti rattle nose cone?

You don't have a vise? I usually put the other end in a vise instead of struggling on the ground

@@waddupwidu I dont want to mount a vice to my pretty bench. Ill struggle lol

Am I missing a nose cone on my 96 xp or this making me paranoid

Thx u

You have to pick one or the other. You cant have an impeller that gives you a hard holeshot and top end. If you want a an all around good impeller get a Solas XO and have leading edge impellers do a pitch on it for you. Contact Dave and tell him Jarman sent you. He will take care of you

😂

Also a cozy coupe! 😍

LOL love it, thanks

You should be able to spin it by hand. Which wear ring did you use?

Thanks for responding. I used the140mm Delrin wear ring. It seemed to have loosened up. Everything is working great. Thanks again.

Thanks

Sounds like your carbs are not synced. If your key only does a long beep and no double it lost program. Try another key if you have one.

yup I do it on every jet pump I service

@@TodayWeWrench nice! I would like to see how you guys leak test the pump and also what fittings you used (it was confusing to find out how to do this as there isn’t alot of clear info available on the net, so would be a cool vid!)

I like this way better but thats just personal preference. More options type and brand wise

You will know by the ski or boats performance. Shine a flashlight through the nozzle and see if you have a couple sheets of paper gap or larger. If it larger you may need to preform this service

No power on takeoff. Stall out then go

Other than that, a great guide though. Thank you.

If you're pulling the impeller then theirs no point in trying to remove the wear ring the cheater way. It's the wrong approach to begin with it was just an experiment because someone would comment "Bro I have seen online you can freeze it" so I did it. As far as the oil goes, you can't over fill a pump. I have more than 100 jet pump changes in the history of me wrenching on skis and I do it the same way every time. Its like a differential, I don't want air in my pump bearings while rotating. Once warm that oil isn't as thick as it was going in so pitch changes can starve the bearings for a few seconds when riding wheelies or messing around. Better safe than sorry.

@@TodayWeWrench have you ever done a pressure test on the pump nozzles??

@@GCEXTREMEMN Every Time

Sounds like you have it handled bud

It's because he shortcut it by "checking the edges" around the surface he applied 518. Sometimes I cringe.

No you're thinking of the anti rattle kit.

Get a Solas XO and a 85/88 Nozzle. The RFI pump never did anything worth the price for the proper set up.

This is how to to rebuild a pump, were not selling anything

On many pumps (including those on 951 enignes) there are screws which seat / set the wear ring. There are actually two which keep it from spinning/sliding. I didn't see him discuss or address that at all. I would think you would unscrew those screws before you insert into a freezer.

I use acetone to melt ABS plastic

You're incorrect, the "freezer trick" was talked about on many FB pages while the impeller was still installed. We put that theory to rest so others don't waste their time, you obviously don't see the trash recommendations people post on social media. Washing out the inside of the nose cone with acetone will not soften or damage the plastic. Now if you got acetone on soft plastic such as a plexiglass I would say yes but the thermal plastic giving it a quick wipe and rinse? Wrong, You googled "does acetone affect plastic" and copy pasted it. Also not sure how we are "rough with parts" the fact that we took the bailer fitting off and dropped it on a cart with a rubber 1/2 pad? It's very easy for someone to be critical of content when they don't have the guts to make it themselves. No one has a gun to your head forcing you to watch our content. If you can do it better make some videos buddy boy.
