i have a 1997 challenger 1800 if interested in coming to NC. 3500. with trailer. live at lake so easy test ride.

had a similar experience couple of weeks ago but with one engine. one plug looked terrible. changed em all. good to go. yours sounds a bit more complicated but what the heck. also fits with the elevation change.

bottom right is the low fuel or reserve. i would say the carbs may need cleaned if the boat was previously sitting for awhile and the fuel was low. the neutral switch may be starting to go bad as well. look for topics on both.

i leave my boat in a slip all summer. no worries, no leaks.

try some food coloring in the inlet when running it on the hose and it should be easier to spot and trail back to where it starts. i'm having a similar problem and thought that would be a good idea and also thought a better idea would be if you tried it first:)

did you try running it out with the flame arrestor/air filter off?

disregard step no. 1 in the above (your boat doesn't have that). hopefully the part about the silicone and seals and tool in no. 5. (shouldn't apply to your boat either. pay close attention to the first note about the pinch and thrust washer....you'll know if its too tight.....

do a search on this site for wear ring and you'll find some good info and pics. i did my boat which is the same as yours. easy to do. you'll need the impeller removal tool, (10 to 15 bucks) a vice, something to cut the old rings out........i would go ahead and change the pump oil in the cone...

walmart sells a 'quicksilver PWC' type that is approved for your seadoo. $25ish a gallon. make sure it is the "PWC" it has the seadoo/bombardier logo somewhere on it.

sounds like it is starving for air. check the filter would be the easiest. after that cleaning and adjusting the carbs. look for other threads on that topic. good luck

yup...normal.. it's supposed to help with slow speed manuevering(sp?)

you can take off the plate with the throttle levers and f/r lever. i think they are small allen heads. it is basically friction that holds the levers in place. (just tighten them up a bit.) as for the steering lift out the compartment where the tools are kept in front of the cockpit and you...

i don't know about the timing. i've had a couple of motocross bikes that acted this way....(sounded ok on the stand, but blubbered under load) ended up being the ignition stator. i'm not sure how to equate that to the seadoo motor though. i'm also not sure about the timing. you can get...

sorry about your frustration, that sucks, but i'm sure you'll figure it out. one other thing did you run it in the H2O with the air 'filters' off. those screens can get nasty. let us know how the mpem and timing things work out. good luck.

did you try running the boat in the water with the engine hatch open?

trim paint advance auto has a specific bumper trim paint. i think duplicolor makes it. comes in black or gray. really a good product.

are all the plugs burning equally. check to see if one is running hot or more white in color, if so you may have an air leak somewhere at the intake side of the motor.

cavitation problem, and pulling to the left at equal engine rpms. does not pull at high rpms and nearly 60 mph. there are no signs of a air/fuel problem.
