[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 100040, member: 1523"] We were going to go out last night, but the motor wouldn't start, acted like the flywheel stripped some teeth (starter just spun). Pulled the front cover and found the flywheel had come off, woodruff key slot in the crank is washed out pretty bad and the flywheel keyway has some damage. Spent about an hour with a small file hand reworking the flywheel last night and hope to us a dremel to hand cut a longer key in the crank. If it works I'll be back on the water without spending a grand on a new motor / flywheel. I'll probably mix up some epoxy to fill in the eroded areas before locking it back down. I really wanted to get at least one good season out of this motor to work the bugs out before doing a rebuild.

[img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/Boat/Seadoo%20Swap/DSC06683.jpg[/img] I've been working 50+ hours a week and struggling to get stuff done around the house so the boat is waiting for me to get a new cat pipe fabbed for my mustang and a bunch of weedtrees trimmed out and gone. It never ends... Jamie [/QUOTE]
