I recently purchased this boat with the Jet Drvie system and after some toying around and replacing broken parts I got the boat running, but I can hear a thumping sound that will either cause the motor to momentarily stall or die out completely, I did find through some normal issue's that the gear oil was replaced by water in the Stator housing, I fushed it out and reserviced with about 3.4 Ounces of gear oil hoping this was part of the cause, the stator and wear ring was in good shape and normal end play on the output shaft and slop is normal. I am about to pull the motor out so I can finish working on replacing some hoses and also to replace one of the fuel recirculation elbows that I broke while changing the hose.
What I am looking for is if anyone else has had this issue or knows what could be causing the thumping sound. its almost like either a bad bearing in the output shaft connection to the jet drive assembly or the worse yet, a bad rod bearing in either #3 or 4 cylinder.
