Hi All,
Thanks for all your help so far, you guys are great. I have a 1997 GTX and it is running fine so I have no complaints at all about it. New gas lines, rebuilt carbs, pump is clean and good prop. 151 and 150 psi in the cylinders but high hours, 225. I noticed that most people are saying that model should push 52mph. I took my GPS out on it on Friday because the speedometer does not work, and I top out at 44 mph. I weigh 180. I was wondering if my ski seems slow for that model or is that about normal? I am still having a blast with it anyway so just wondering really. I am just bummed I have to winterize it so soon after buying it.
I also have an unrelated question. Is there a buzzer or siren if the oil pump should it fail on a '97? Just wondering as it is something I always think about. Thanks!
