Title: Jacuzzi WJ thinks its a Rainbird
Post by: crewchief22 on July 04, 2007, 04:15:17 PM

Second time out with the Hondo and got a chance to look things over while the Wife drove.
My jet thinks it is a sprinkler.  Water spraying out of the steering housing top pivot pin and at the deflector housing  >:(
I know this can't be good for performance  :o 
Has anyone had to repair for this before?  What is involved in this repair?  Am I doing more damage by running it?
Help!  I don't want to miss AVI  :'(

Thanks

Get yourself some new bushings for the pivot and what ever new gaskets at that end you'll need . Cheap fix .
