Title: I'm hearing what I think is my thrust bearing going out. need advice.
Post by: rpswenson on August 13, 2013, 10:06:39 AM: Last two times out I'm hearing what I think is my thrust bearing going out. how can I know for sure?? If so
I'm looking to either rebuild jet,replace bearing myself. or have someone do it along with installing a place diverter on a JF Pump.

Your opinion is welcome.
you may call me @ 909-496-3344
Thank you,
Randy.

For diagnosis I would grease the bearing and see if its quiets down. That should be greased between trips anyways...
