($ gtx with a hell of a rattle inits tail?

[drewb54]

I have a 94 657 gtx and she has one hell a a rattle in her around the pump shaft? I'm new to jet ski's so I'm not sure what to look for and/or replace or fix any help. Also I just replaced fuel filter and lines to eng and on the carbs with new fuel line also cleaned the tank out but I'm still stall after a few seconds of opening her up. She runs great in reserve, Is the fuel pick-up serviceable or do I have to spring for a new one - am I looking in the right place?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance

P.S. any ideas on quick and cheap upgrades (intake grate, prop??- she is bone stock.)

if you hear the rattle only when idling, it is normal. you can buy an updated pump cone with a spring in it, but it's not really necessary.

you can clean the fuel selector, sounds like it's clogged since it runs better on reserve.

Thanks for the info on the cone. It sounded like it was just at or coming down to idle. As far as the switch, thanks for the heads up I will check it first thing.

Hi JayZ, I have heard that rattle as well in idle mode but what is the part or actions that are making the sound?
And don't quite understand a spring in the cap helping.
Can you offer some better explanation so we can get a mental image of it.
Would be most helpful.

Thanks .)
