rope in the jet!!!

[soulboater#1]

What is the best way to get some rope out of the jet without cutting? I had a long day at the lake and could not get the rope out!! Any help will be great b4 i break out the croc Dundee Knife to cut the SOB out! Thanx--- By the way of course it willl not turn over and i have had my hand up in the jet like i was a proctoligist!!!

take the loader grate out and use fire to burn it out. one of those long lighters for starting your fireplace works pretty good.

If you don't want to cut it, best bet is disconnecting th epump from the motor and have some one trying to spin it in reverse while you pull from underneath. if that does not work you can always pull the bowl and impeller and get it that way.
best way it to just grab a knife and start cutting.

so it looks like i will need to get a new rope??!! Ski ropes are $$$. Any other thoughts or suggestions?:mad:

[soulboater#1]

so if i burn it--that means the rope is done?

[MudPumper]

Its a rope.....cut it, burn it, do whatever you have to do. They arent that expensive.

[soulboater#1]

that is true!!

My old man was a pretty thrifty guy in his day. we used to water ski behind ropes with like 3-4 knots in them. he's suck them up in the pump, cut them out and tie some sort of knot to put it back together.

No, nothing will blow up. Here is what you do. The piece you can't get out is on top of the shaft and between the Suction Housing. Get the lighter up there and melt the rope. Then have somebody bump the starter. \The shaft should rotate and throw the piece of rope out. This is what we did with mine and it worked great. Good luck. :)
