my first trip out this year was to the river. we rode for about 20 miles with no probles and then it starting bogging and shut off at wot as we were trying too catch up with the other riders but would run fine at mid range. so what ive done so far is 1st cleaned both carbs did not find much* , changed plugs runs fine out of water in water it would run 100 yards and shut off. 2nd i install new carb kits and needle valves pop off pressure was 22 on tear down and rebuild , replaced grey fuel lines , cleaned filter and fuel selsctor (which was completly gumed up) on water it bogged a bit comming off idle at 1/2 throttle had a little surgeing* 3/4 throttle ran fine. i stoped* and made a low speed adjustment a few times with no improvment. went back to the dock and it started* bogging right off idle and shut off . so now ive cleaned the rave valves. and have not been back too water yet. is there any thing else i would need too look at. thanks
 
when its on the trailer next hook it up the the hose and rev it up a little with out the seat on, check mainly for exhaust fumes. when i had first got my seadoo it was doing this i cleaned my carbs and all of the fun stuff, however i never saw the fumes, if the exhaust builds up in the engine compartment it will suffocate the motor for fresh air causing it to stall and have lack of high end power. hope this helps.
 
when you rebuilt the carbs, did you "LEAVE" the oem n/s spring in there, or did you replace it with what came w/ rebuild kit?

WHere thew n/s is, did you make sure, the "tang" was level with inner carb plate...

After perfroming/checking these things, and still problem, disconnect the red wire from rectifier, see if "bog" still there, if not, replace the rectifier.
 
just tried it on the trailer and i did not see any thing when i get back on water ill try with the seat off.
thanks
 
new springs , tang adjusted flush. i was going too try the rectifier , but from what ive read its part of the mpem, if not could you let me know how its done thanks
 
went through the carbs again too see if i had missed something. the pto carb pop off was around 18/19 not the 22 that i had before so i replaced both springs both around 21/22 now. also the pulse line at the case was a little loose retighten clamp and went to the water. left it on the trailer too run ( seat off ) it acted a little better. but it acts more like an ignition problem now. i held the throttle in till it would stumble a few seconds then would catch and go. when i got home i looked at the coils . pto coil had corrosion on the base where the 2 ground wires were attached , and also clipped the plug wires back. thanks
 
it has 2 coils mounted on a bracket, and the two ground wires attaches too the rear coil base which runs the rear spark plug. hope thats it, i have too start working on my honey do list soon which is getting longer and longer. thanks for the replys guys
