Is this normal?

[Wolf Child]

I have a '96 750 sxi and the pump intake gide apears to be flopping around loose in the pump cavity. it doesnt appear broken. is this thing supposed to do this? If not, what is the approved method of fixing this thing?

 

[BruceSki]

pretty sure that stupid thing is your pump shoe and is a problem on the superjets cause they are plastic and crack...

i would think some sanding and some sort of glue(5200...epoxy resin maybe) would stick it back in there as long as its not broken

 

[Wolf Child]

the parts list calls it an "INTAKE GUIDE"

 

[Scraggly]

it is important!!! seal it back in after cleaning all the old glue off.

 

[Wolf Child]

roger that.. guess I need to roll this HOS over and get to work.

5200 work?

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

I have had to chisel a few of those dam thing out of kawasaki skis. after they got broken, or whatever.

its about $40 part from ronayers.com if it happens to be messed up

I cant imagine it came loose on its own?

for sure seal it back in with 4200 or 5200, or whatever.

who knows.. I noticed it today for the first time when I was cleaning it up with the pressure washer. I havent had this thing in the water yet since I just got it a month or so ago.

it's not loose ( like just flopping around) it just moves when force is exherted against it, it'll tip downward, like a scoop. it doesnt appear broken anywhere I can see.

this thing doesnt look like it was EVER glued in.

I think it was just wedged into place.

He said it was on a 750 sxi - - your advice still applies however

Now way I'd use 5200. You will catch hell if you ever need it back out for some reason. Just a regular silicone should work.

crap... NOW you tell me. :censored:

I'm glad this stuff takes a long time to cure.

I don't know about the kawi but my superjet is put in with 5200. lots of people use it. Why would you need it out. I think matt or some one actually glassed the thing in.

 

[Kennay]

It's overkill. On my SJ, it was a huge pain in the ass getting my metal one out and it was in with regular silicone.


Reasons to pull it out? Painting, breaking, ect...
