FX-1 Water in crankcase

[aj923]

Picked up my first yami this weekend. Previous owner told me the ski was running but when I showed up to take a look at it he couldnt get it started. Pulled the plugs and there was a little water in the cylinder. Figured it was the head gasket. So I beat him pretty bad on the price and ended up with a clean fx-1.

When I got home I pulled the head off and dried the cylinders. Turned the ski over and a little water sprayed up from the cylinders.

I am planning on pulling the cylinders off and drying everything out before I put it back together. I figure I should be replacing some bearings but should I replace all the bearings?

I will post pics of the ski when I get home! So excited to get this thing running!! :bananajump:

Ya replace all bearings and maybe the crank if it looks bad.

Not exactly what I wanted to hear but it is what it is lol! Thanks!

Rebuilt crank and all the gaskets/seals is only about 300 bucks. If you got some wrenching skills it is pretty easy to do the work. Contact jetmaniac for parts!

Ya and replacing gaskets and seals is a no brainer.

 

[aj923]

Gonna get an order together for jetmaniac so i can get this thing out on the water!

Yea time for a complete rebuild. Don't get upset. You still stole that thing.
