need some help!
I was out on the lake last weekend for about 30 mins. and one motor shut off on me..tried to start it back up and it was making a weird noise so i finally got ti taken out and took the intake off to look at the rotory valve and the valve has a nick in it!
there is a small part of the block that is scared up alittle..
should i trash the block,motor, and get a new one ?! or just replace the valve and see what happens?!
Im scared this could cost lots of $$$$$.
what should I do?
Also ..whats a good site to get seadoo parts?
thanks Tom

I would start the repair in phases, start with the root of the the problem before replacing something bigger than the problem. If that fix doesn't take care of the problem then go on from there. World of Powersports ( http://worldofpowersports.com ) is a good place to get parts.

Try here: http://sbtontheweb.com/ for a complete remanufactured engine assembly. Or find someone who can possibly repair the damage to the block at the intake holes..
SBT should have available an engine for around 700-800 bucks (with exchange) that will have a 1 year no hassle warranty.

well being the cheap a$$ that I am..lol
I think I am going to get a new rotory valve and see if the local machine shop can do anything with the block.. If that doesnt work Im going to break down and buy the Premium Engine..If I'm going to spend the money I better do it the right way..

thanks for the help everyone!
I'll let yall know how it goes...
I just ordered a service manual the other day so i hope its here soon..

Well I finally got off of my butt and put the motor back in the boat today!
(replaced the rotory valve and machined the block...last week)
And it ran...for 15 seconds and died! the valve hung up again...
You guessed it! now I have to buy a new motor....
this sux... I havent even put 30 mins on it this summer!!!
anymore suggestions on where to get a motor?!

Thanks Tom
