Project description
My jet ski has been giving me trouble since I pulled it out of storage this spring, and I need an experienced mobile mechanic who can come to where the watercraft is kept and sort it out on site. The engine cranks but struggles to catch, it idles rough when it does start, and there is a faint knocking noise under load that worries me. I do not have a trailer set up to haul it to a shop right now, so someone who travels with a proper toolkit, diagnostic equipment, and spare parts for common PWC issues is exactly what I am looking for.
Beyond the immediate engine problem, I would like the same visit to cover general seasonal maintenance so I am not calling someone back in a few weeks. That means an oil and filter change, a check of the impeller and wear ring for damage or excessive play, inspection of the drive shaft splines, a look at the spark plugs and fuel system for signs of ethanol damage from sitting over winter, and a battery and charging system test. If anything needs replacing, I would rather know the parts cost upfront and get it done in the same appointment than have the ski sit idle waiting on a second visit.
What I am looking for in the person I hire:
— Hands-on experience with PWC engines (two-stroke or four-stroke, whichever matches my model)
— Own mobile setup with tools, a stand or hoist, and common spare parts
— Clear diagnosis explained in plain language before any repair work starts
— Honest estimate of parts and labor, with a heads-up if something unexpected turns up
— Careful handling of the hull and seating area so nothing gets scratched or stained
