No thrust

[Gary pope]

I am in the process of getting my 97 Sea-Doo GTS running after rebuilding the motor. It will run great for the first five or 10 minutes or so and then I noticed that I am taking on water from somewhere on the inside and I am assuming that the flywheel is throwing it up and it is entering the carburetor, one question I have is well water getting into the carburetor cause it to feel like it is losing thrust although the engine RPMs seem to be fine?

Oh yeah I just replaced the wear ring in it last week so it is brand new

Yes? Water can cause this. Never good for any engine to be ingesting water.

I would look at your driveshaft seal.

Rebuilt driveshaft with new carbon ring/seal on my 96 GTS. Runs like new. I was taking water in too before
