okay,
so i just bought an 89 650, the ski runs well on land and on the garden hose.
so i took it to the boat ramp and dropped it in, checked for any leaks/cracks in the hull....all good
so final check that the the engine sucks water in and cools itself FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, so the ski in in the water, starts up and runs but NOT A SINGLE DROP OF WATER COMES OUT FROM THE PISSERS AND THE HEAD AND PIPE ARE REALLY HOT.
so i put the ski back on the trailer and head home.
I called the owner and he continues to asure me that he rode it 3 weeks ago and that all he can think of is that a hornet has made a nest in the line........there were daddy long leg spiders chilling in the pump area when i bought it but wtf........could webs really be the problem here? I feel hes hiding from me, like when i said i was gona pull it apart he was trying to convonce me that i shouldnt......so maybe, like an other thread, no watter how many water lines and fittings were cleaned, the boat still didnt suck water.
anyways, id like some information, teachings and help/advice on how to fix this!?!
from what i observe the water intake is quite a simple thing.....
engine creates a suction and thus sucking water from the pump area.
could some people take a look at these pictures and help me?
the line on the left is the one that runs to the exhaust mani and appears have the inlet fitting quite far back.
the fitting thtas top right "feels" like it pushing air out! so maybe this is the bilge thingy
thakns for ur time
