I went to change the jet pump oil and ran into a very quick but apparently existing problem.
3 of the Hex screws holding the venturi in place came right out. The 4th one immediately just spun in place and is obviously loose(it can actually move about 1/4" in and out) but beyond that it appears it has no thread engagement to the venturi assy. Clearly this tells me the jet pump oil has not been changed in I don't know how long since I purchased this ski beginning to mid summer. Second, how in the hell can you get the screw out and is there any reasonable fix other than a new venturi assy?
Got to love buying used sometimes...this was definitely a hidden, "I'm not going to mention it" problem.
