Now that I have one dilemma solved I'll move on to a few larger issues:
Drive train noise-
So IÂ’ve heard (from very reliable sources) that it is normal for the jet to make a grinding, rattling, unsettling noise that reverberates up the hull when idling... and that it is only slop between the U-joint shaft and jet. If it disappears while underway then all is well... Agreed?
Grease flyby-
My old jet would sling grease like a S.O.B after pumping a few shots in the zert... my new one (after a VERY liberal greasing) does not... Shall I keep the grease flowing until it does, or is this the sign of a tight jet?
