I have a 2001 Sea Doo Sportster (single 951). I recently replaced almost everything from the PTO (Including the PTO) back, except the pump housing. With a new wear ring and new prop, how freely must the prop spin before the engine will be able to start? I had the assemble in a vice spinning the prop with a breaker bar, torque gun, and now I can spin...well not "Spin",.... but Move the impeller by hand without too much force.
How Freely must the impeller move before the engine will turn over and hopefully 'seat' the impeller?
Just FYI...I have it all installed. When I tried to start it, the wires on the batter heated up quite a bit. (I just gave it a few tries) and didn't even make clicking sounds. This seemed like a started problem, and it was. I was waiting for a new started which just arrived. I thought I'd post this question, which has been in my mind since I wore my arm out "spinning" the darn prop.
Thanks for any help
