[QUOTE="Buddychrist, post: 277125, member: 9403"] Yeah you can start and run it for a few seconds. Unlike outboards jetski's have metal impellers that are much more resilient to dry cranking. I would look for a few things as prior knowledge from what I have learned, check the motor mounts and make sure the motor is solid, if not it could have been raced. Check your engine for any corrosion that would lead to knowing it was ever in saltwater. When you take the seat off look at the gas tank with a flashlight and see if it has any buildup in the bottom of the tank, if so you have to remove the entire engine to replace the tank. Also anything to do with coffmans exhaust, sudco carbs, ocean pro ride plates, are a big plus but typically those engines have been raced hard. Make sure it has a nice throaty idle but not sounding like a cammed out corvette [/QUOTE]
