I have a 1997 Seadoo gtx jet ski. I was riding smoothly about 30mph and a big boat cut me off flying up the lake. I hit the wake and we went about 4 ft in the air. Nice ride. Lol
However when we landed the jetski turned off. I check under the seat to make sure i wasn't flooded and i was not. So i tried to start the jet ski and i had a hard time starting it. Once it did start i could only go about 5 mph and i had no throttle. I had my friend tow me the next 2 miles to his house on the lake. When we got there and looked at the jet ski we tried to start it. I havent been able to start it since. Any suggestions on what to check. I did notice today that there was 2 stroke oil laying in the hull back by the battery area.
 
Pull the spark plugs and crank it over. Unless you blocked off the water line, towing will flood the engine with water.
