So I am new to the boating world. I just picked up a 2004 speedster 200 twin 155 rotax. I liked that this was not supercharged and didn't have that headache to deal with. I recently took it out on the river and it was running fine for 30 minutes when we sucked up a stick in the jet. We took the jet apart ant it was stuck in the impeller. We removed the stick from the outside of the jet on the trailer and put it all back together. We put it back in the water and the engine wouldn't stay running at all it was a ruff idle and bounces between 1000 rpm and 1800. It sounded like it wasn't getting fuel so we tested the fuel pump and 44 psi in both pumps. We took it back out off the water and checked the oil and plugs and found the oil was very thick so after changing the oil we thought we had it fixed and took it back out. It ran for 20-30 minutes and then stared to have a bouncing rpms then bogged out and turned off. I have tried everything I can think of and I have tried a lot of the troubleshooting tips in the shop manual. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas that I should try. Any help would be appreciated. And we just finished checking out the plugs and nothing looked cracked or out of place

When I first bought my 04 speedster, it was doing the same thing. Rough idle, would shake and rattle then shut off if any throttle was applied. I didn't have the altercation with a stick that you had though. I took the plugs out and replaced them, and it ran great. The plugs looked fair, definitely not like they needed to be replaced. But it made all the difference. The only thing that changed between it running fine, and not running fine, was a short road trip between bodies of water...
