    97 GSX LIMITED GREY GHOST FUEL ISSUE

    Could be the accelerator pump tubes in the carb that are clogged. The 99 has them, not sure your model any goo in them will give you a bog on the lower end when you blurp the throttle. You might think they are clean but they could be still clogged.

    99 GSX limited seems bogged down

    I dont know if you solved this but on those skis they have a pump on the side of tbe carb that pushes fuel into the carb when you hit the gas.there is a brass tube that protrudes into the carb that has a tiny hole in it and they clog very easily. It can be a pain to clear them out. The 99 had...

    787 bogging and won’t rev over 4K rpm

    Some on this site have used JB weld to fix until they get a chance to pull and weld. I just found one myself. Im going to jb weld until I get some time to pull and find a welder.

    Mineral oil and synthetic oil

    I had seen where old gas would create a rubbery type material. I was wondering if it was some additive. I could pull it out of the gas tank with a flexible claw.

    Still chasing high RPM cutting out

    A couple of years ago I had the same thing happen at high speed. I would be crusing along and get a slight stall like i felt when my thumb would tire holding the throttle. I went through the fuel system replacing hoses and cleaning the carbs. That fixed the problem. The slight cut out will make...

    Seadoo 98 GSX ltd - Proper location for these?

    Those flaps protect the intake from the exhaust seal breaking and blowing water into the carb. The kit that came with my 99 wrapped around the black pipe at the exhaust manifold covering the seal just in case it vibrated loose. That looks correct the way mine is on.

    What could be wrong with my 1998 GTS

    I think you can check the load amperage by hooking up a meter to the battery then hitting the start button and watch the volts drop. I think min voltage is 10.5 if i remember correctly. Should only drop 1 to 1.5 volts

    951 l- poor response

    The brass tubes in the carb throat clog with junk when you hit the throttle and it bogs.

    951 l- poor response

    Go through your carbs. Make sure the three holes in the carb throat are good and clean. That will fix the idle. Then move to the acc pump, that is the range where you start to increase the throttle. If I remember right, i think after that its the pop off of the spring that carries you through...

    951 accelerator pump question

    They have some brass tubes that protrude into the carb opening. They will gum up and require some carb spray and compressed air. You might be able to reach the hoses with out removing too much. If it's like mine you detach the hose from acc pump and squirt carb clearner to get the pto side and...
