1994 Seadoo XP need help!!

[SeadooBOB Square Pants]

Hey all,
I purchased an XP last year, the a$$hole I bought it from told me it was "River ready"...yeah right :banghead:. Any who after I attempt to ride it at the lake I found it has a bent driveshaft, great. Starting taking the pump housing apart but I can get the damn pump off to get to the impeller and driveshaft. Please help will provide pictures if will help my cause.

What part are you stuck on. Do you mean all the bolts are off and it is still stuck to the hull? Also, this is the exact reason I will only buy a watercraft after a water test.

Lesson learned, the bill of sale would help me if I were actually were able to find the time to file a claim he signed and guarenteed it worked, but oh well nothing I can do so I am moving on people suck. I pulled the nozzle and the cone, I am also a little concerned that very little oil came out when I pulled that off. What is the best way to get the pump pulled and get the impeller, driveshaft etc all off??

I'm not sure what the hull shape is like on yours, but I had a similar issue with my GTX. I was able to get a couple of pieces of heavy angle iron and make a crude puller. Drill or flame cut holes in the 2 pieces of angle same spacing as the venturi bolts. Put the angle on the outside of the hull and use the venturi bolts to pull it. As you tighten the bolts evenly!! If your hull is curved (mine is flat at the stern) you may have to do some additional fabrication... but it worked for me!!

Remove the cooling hose from inside the hull(and bailer hoses if you have them). Remove any cables hooked to the pump. Remove the 4 bolts attaching the nozzle (drain old nasty oil) , remove the 4 nuts holding the pump on pump. Now the pump should pull away from the hull. If not, you may have to pry lightly. There is also a way to make a homemade tool for pulling it off. As you remove the pump, it also holds the impeller and wear ring inside it. It sounds like you have already done half the work.

Then go inside your hull remove the plastic cover from the pto/engine, in front of your carbon ring you will see a silver collar, pull it towards the rear of the ski which will expose the lock ring, remove the lock ring and do not discard it. The drive shaft will now pull out. If you hadnt started yet, you could do this part first and pull the pump and drive shaft together out the back.

Here are the directions for the tool I was describing. I have them saved from a previous answer someone else did on here.


You need a two foot long 2x4 with two holes drilled through it aligned with two of the 4 nozzel bolt holes in the back of the pump housing ( remove the nozzels). Using long all thread ( 8mm 1.25 thread), screw one piece of allthread into each of the two top nozzels bolt holes. Slide the 2x4 over the allthread. Place a flat washer and an 8mm nut onto each piece of all thread and tighten . As you tighten, the pump will pull loose from the hull and you can get it off.

Does the impeller shaft have to be removed or will the pump slide off without removing it. See attached picture.

 

[RFoster130]

That is what holds the impeller in. No need to remove it. The whole pump will pull off with that still holding the impeller in the pump housing. You should get a shop manual, it would help a lot.

You only need to remove that if you want to change out the wear ring.

Okay sounds good thanks, I was just worried about pulling and tapping crap if it wasn't going to come off. I will attempt to remove the housing again and get the drive shaft replaced. I also noticed after I pulled the internal shaft cover that a majority of parts that fit on the end of the PTO side of the driveshaft are also missing or damaged. I am pretty sure this guy hit something or the impeller stop and it bent the driveshaft and busted the pieces on the internal components.

UPDATE:
So I got everything pulled and come to find out the wear ring it shot, drive line is slightly bent, and the PTO flywheel is toast. I am guess the moron sucked something the engine stalled so he just kept riding. To get the PTO flywheel off do I need to pull the whole motor or is there a trick to getting the PTO pulled. I already have all the parts ordered but I just need to find out if someone has pulled the PTO without pulling the motor.
