I'm assuming they just pulled it with the cases together. And they wanted to charge an extra 150$ just to put the cover on so I told them not to. It's 4 bolts, they don't need to charge that much. Maybe they didn't even replace the shaft, I am not a fan of this seadoo dealer near me but I'm in a pinch and they are the only ones near me. Maybe I should try moving the oil pump gear around and sliding it on? Not sure what else to try.
They replaced the shaft with one that I gave to them. And I will return with pictures later today when I get home.
Yes it was a small shop, has a showroom with about 6 skis and then a building behind it where I believe one guy does all the work on whatever is brought to him. They had all the new models and I believe they are a certified Rotax dealer, but I still doubt their quality
Here's the pictures now that I just got home. I'm thinking my issue is that the crank halves aren't lined up perfectly which isn't allowing the cover to fit on. Is there an easy way to fix this misalignment? I tried sanding the lips at the halves and it seemed to get a little closer to sliding in but I'm not sure what to do
Well the problem is I'm pretty sure they put the same shaft in that was on the original motor, so I'm confused on how it would stick out farther
Did you rebuild it? or they did? is it the same original motor? possibly, though we don't really know, the original rotary shaft? Verify in a pic the cover you're trying to install. A 787 cover on a 717 would explain the issue.
Ok here's what happened, bit of a long story I'll keep it short. My crank siezed so I rebuilt the motor myself, I tried replacing the rotary shaft during the rebuild but I couldn't get it pulled out. When I had the motor reassembled the rotary valve cover would not go back on, all I changed was the crankshaft and all gaskets in a rebuild kit. It's the original rotary valve cover, and original block. Since I couldn't get the cover on I thought the shaft was slightly pulled and it was sticking out so I sent it to a shop to remove the rotary shaft and replace it with one I gave them. I think they scammed me and didn't replace it, because I also bought a new rotary VALVE which only fit on the teeth of the new shaft, and not the old one. And I'm now trying to put the new valve on the shaft and it will not fit. I also think the problem of the rotary cover not fitting is because the block is misaligned, I can feel a bit of a lip where the block goes together.
yes a bolt got stuck in the rotary valve that's why there is a gouge in the opening of one of those valves, that's not my concern though, I just want this rotary cover put back on
Well I do feel a gap between the two cases but I'm not sure if that is normal? Is there an easy way to remove the gear? Yes the PO used the crap blue oil so my next step is flushing that out.
On the cover? Do I take it off from the inside of the cover?
Great, so now I gotta pull the motor again ?
Ha, just my luck, used the same two halves and this happens to me
