2008 Seadoo RXT215 running very rough questions

[Chris O'Neal]

I have a 2008 Seadoo RXT215 that is running very rough and sounds like its ready to grenade. I've uploaded a video of the motor running so you can hear the sound of it. The weird thing is that isn't any alarms going off or codes. It is way under powered and not going to be started anymore until the problem is diagnosed. I've read some stuff that the super charger can be bad. If anyone has any ideas after watching the video please let me know. Thanks

I would pull the super charger and look at it!!!

I'm with "BigD". Sounds like something's in the engine, and that's no good. I'm sure they stopped using the ceramic washers in the superchargers by 2008, but the loss of power and that heart-breaking noise ...
Good luck!

Something's not right. Some early 08 still had ceramic washers (left over stock from earlier years).

Do a compression test, it may help narrow it down.

Even if you have steel washers, you SC is WAY past due for a rebuild. The brains and squirrel cages fail and fall into the engine.
