I can get mine to crank...but I do have a question of a different nature. Sometimes when I leave the Waverunner in the water for a while I notice there seems to be a leak...yet the hull is intact. It is a well used 97 model. Is it possible the seal between the power plant and impeller is leaking? If so is it an expensive fix? Also, is it true that the placement of the impeller is adjusted over time to allow for wear, and thus keep a tighter seal between the impeller and housing?

We love our Waverunner, and it has given us great service - except for the time I had to have a cylinder rebuilt because my teenage daughter confused the oil fill cap for the gasoline fill cap...:>)....can't really fault the machine for that! But because of its age there may be some things we need to do to keep her going. Looking for advice. Thanks.
