I have a 1996 SeaDoo GTS, this thing has always ran fine, I stuck it into the river and drove it for an hour or so with no problem. Then at full speed it started slow down, I gave it full thortle and it wouldn't go very fast. It stalled. As soon as I started it up it ran for a minute or so at full speed then the speed would die back down. IT kept doing this. I did have new plugs installed which looked fine, the battery is new, I put new fuel in which was mixed with some old fuel I had in there which was about a gallon. I pulled the fuel filter off which is located underneath the the hull and that was clean just a little debri in there. This SeaDoo kept stalling though and would never get up to full speed. Not sure what's wrong since I've never had this problem in the 10yrs I've owned it.

The spin on filter won't necessarily tell you the whole story.
Please refer to this guide to walk through the fuel system, which ultimately may lead to a carb rebuild (10 years sounds about right).

Possible, but it would have to be really crazy clogged.
More likely that your internal carb filters are clogged. Oddly enough, these are much more sensitive to clogging than the filters upstream. And even if you clean out the upstream filters, nothing really gets the crud out of the carbs - not even flushing - unless you disassemble the carbs.

when I clean the carbs where would I find the screens at on my 96gts? I looked at a few diagrams from the link you gave me and and it seems like it is a cyclinder shape looking thing. Is that true for all carbs, because I thought what I was looking for a flat circular screen.
