2014-16 Seadoo Spark Most Common Failure / New Project. Fixing the Crankshaft Coupler Correctly

Ойын-сауық

The Seadoo Spark had a Major Flaw design, the main drive coupler isn't replaceable. The coupler being a wear item should have never been welded to the crankshaft.
To fix it requires replacing the crankshaft. I'm a good mechanic and was hoping to think outside the box and create a different fix using a LoveJoy connector, but the Hull design of this Ski will not allow it.
So I'm going to fix it correctly and document the journey for anyone to use as a guide! Comments are Live & Questions are always answered if your a subscriber!

    Would it be possible to put a pin through the coupler and shaft? You would still get the freeplay unlike welding

    I researched every possible direction it could be repaired & maintain reliability. This way was the only way. Remember to pin a crankshaft, your forced to drill threw hardened steel. That's probably not going to happen.

    how can i make sure that my pto is bad? i have a 2015 seadoo spark with only 40 hours never ridden in salt water. it was riding really good the whole time i rode it then parked it for a bit and next time i took it for a ride it was revving up and making a slight noise but not going over 8mph. i thought it sucked up some rocks but i took apart the jet and the Wear Ring and Impeller has no damage at all. it was full on gas. i have no idea why this happened if anyone has any knowledge on this please let me know

    It's a sad and common issue. That's why I made this series of Videos. A cheap fix would be to buy the line-up tool & weld the shaft to the pto after you have set the line-up. At this point, your shaft & pto are junk, so welding is a cheap alternative, but most don't recommend it. I chose to do it correctly and it was very costly and time consuming.

    It was in Australia. I have a local guy doing mine. If he does it correctly, I'll ask to share his business name. That way anyone can send it to him here in the U.S. (east coast). I have everything, just waiting for the crank now.

    @@gustavoperez7764 my crankshaft is still at the machine shop... My suggestion is that you buy an oem 2018 crankshaft. If you heat the fat end of the output shaft & use a 2 or 3 arm pulley puller you can actually pull off your old output shaft. Its not welded on, it's sweated on. So heating the end helps it swell & will pull off. I didn't know this before hand. But I've seen a Vid of someone who took it off that way.
