    I bought a broken 2015 Sea-doo spark for a winter project (newbe)

    The bore camera didn't come today but I did turn the engine over some by hand. It moves freely all the pistons are moving up and down, then it seems to hit something... I was thinking broken rod from hydrolock but now I'm thinking something else. I took of the valve cover and everything looks...

    Hi, I am new to this forum thanks to everyone for putting this together to help people. I just bought a 2015 Sea-Doo spark. My daughter had been bugging me for a while to get her a jet ski. We live about a 1/2 mile from a lake. Anyhow I told her over the winter we would look for something...
