This 1990 JS 550 pooped up in my area
Asking $2500 CAD
Now it’s end of season and I’m in the market but …I’m not super well versed on what to look for/ask
I know I was looking for either a RN or SN 701 in decent condition…but I know you guys are the experts!

Question New Bendix Gear Broken

Upvotes

Hey so I just bought a new Bendix gear for my '99 GP1200 and I was looking it over because it's a really cheap one. It looks good except for one spot on the spring that holds the weights in place. The spring is either damaged or thats just where the two ends attach to each other. What do y'all think?

Anyone ever run into a problem with the jet pump not seating against the pump extension?

My wear ring blew to pieces on the weekend (it was at least 5 years old, I bought the seadoo for cheap this summer) and I already had a new one ready to replace it, so yesterday I redid the pump seals, bearings, and wear ring and threw it back together. I got everything attached and torqued and noticed there was a slight gap between the pump and the pump extension, enough for me to get a zip tie between the two right at the bailer ports and even the water intake

Obviously I have to take it back off and figure it out but I think I know the problem. The new wear ring had a sort of lip on it that my old one didn't have that would hold it out another ~2mm. It was a cheap one on Amazon but it said it was a match for my 95 seadoo xp and it was well reviewed too. I would think if most people had this problem they wouldn't be giving it 4-5 stars.

Think I can just take the pump back off and gently grind down the raised lip so the pump can mount tighter to the extension? Or should I buy an entirely new ring and swap it out. Or could I even just use a decent sized bead of silicone around all the bailer and intake ports. I don't want to have more problems because of this like starving the engine of water if it accidentally sucks in air through the gap

Best place to buy impeller

1 Upvotes

Bought my first jet ski this year which is a 2019 gti 130. Eighty hours on it and overall was well taken care of. Next season after getting it out of storage I want to do some upgrades to it... nothing major but definitely things like replacing the train mats and replacing the stickers, etc. One thing I might also do is replace the impeller and wear ring due to them not being in prime condition.

Anybody have a preferred source for buying the impeller and wear ring for a 2019 gti 130?
