well if you have an oil pump just check to see if the has marks line up. could be your problem easy thing to check to eliminate.
 
Good news, bad news.

Got the parts in for the GS, wear ring installed and bearings installed, got the drive shaft out!


I didnt order a seal for the pump bearings, and I had to demolish the steel ring the carbon seal rides on. That sucker was stuck solid, had to use my air hammer to break it loose enough to get the clip out, which as also stuck.

So now I need more parts. Oh and BTW the wear ring in the freezer trick works like a champ, especially after i took the pump housing out of the hot wash tank. ;)
 
Got the GS all back together. I need to know how much oil I should have put in the pump cone. I got a 6 oz bottle of sea doo oil and it says its good for 3 changes. I filled the cone up, the ski was titled back slightly being on the trailer, so I dropped the jack and tilted the ski forward and kept filling until oil came out the hole.

Is that the proper way or did i screw it up?
 
Yes, now use your pop-off tester and leak test it to be sure that water can't get in, then yer good to go. Always refer to your shop manual for your ski, it has a pictoral and torque specs.
 
HA! GS runs GREAT, 10 times better than before.

Now my GSX is acting up. Its always been hard to start but this past weekend, it just wouldnt start and run. Ugh.
