well im a 1st time seadoo owner...and made the mistake that anyone would only make once....i ran it without oil...its a 95 seadoo spi 580....once i realized it and refilled the oil tank it ran fine...prolly put bout 4-5 hours on it the next weekend and then it just pretty much lost power and died...towed it back in and brought it home to work on...seemed that it was locking up so i got the engine turning again and now it had a horrible clanking sound in the engine...i can get it to run but as soon as i give it gas it dies....i pulled the drive shaft just to eliminate that being the problem bled the oil line to make sure that that it was indeed getting oil...and hoped that it would re lubricate and run right but i have accepted that its past that....any suggestions where to start

yeah, sbtontheweb.com. You've probably buggered up your rotary valve, bronze gear, and half a dozen other things. I'd go with the remanufactured engine.
