I posted to this forum last fall about an acceleration problem on one of my '97 GTX's and thanks to John Kubiak and Bill O'Neal, now that it's spring in Utah I've set the high speed screw turned all the way in, and the low speed screw at one full turn just like the tech manual says and just like you guys told me to, and took the boats to lake Powell this last week-end. PROBLEM SOLVED! The boat runs great! and so thank you very much!
I do have another question for anyone out there who may be able to help. I have two '97 GTX both with about 150 hours on them. They both have a very clunky noise to them when idling, and sounds as though it's coming from the drive system somewhere. The noise goes away when the boats power up and they run fine now, but they do make an awfull noise when idling. One of the boats is a bit noisier than the other, but same type of noise. The local guy that has worked on the boats in the past mentioned something about the teeth on the drive shaft being worn, but not to worry about it. I would like to know if it's normal, or if it should be fixed, and about what it might cost.
Regards,
