I am having issues with my See Doo. When it is under load it bogs down severely. It also won't go past 30 MPH. A friend of mine had me do some trouble shooting but hasn't gotten back to me yet. I have cleaned the external fuel filter as best as I could. He also had me ride at full throttle (30mph) and pull on the choke. What happens is the whole PWC bogs completely as soon as I let go my PWC starts going again but will still not pass 30MPH. He mentioned something about there being 2 circuits and it switches from one to the other when going under load or at a certain speed. I'm not sure if any of this make sense but if you could please help me out that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

leak test
bomb around the site, maybe JPX's sticky, and think, you need to do leak test on carb/s. Sounds as if, the needle in the needle/seat assy is/are leak'n. If so, rebuild kit will fix it.

I would start first by doing a compression check to see what is going inside the engine. The compression should be 150psi Ideally in each cylinder. If the compression is good then you need to pull off the carbs and clean them. Pay close attention to the small fine filters inside the carbs. Next if the fuel lines are the gray colored ones you need to replace them too as they deteriorate from on the inside and cause the same bog problem as you described, because it clogs the carbs. Replace the spark plugs, be sure it has fresh fuel and try it again.

With a manual in hand it might be easier to figure it out...You'll have all the information on your seadoo to review at you leisure, and than ask us questions if you still can't figure it out.

well I would check your fuel lines, if they are the grey ones they need to be replaced and the internal filters in the carbs will be gunked up. The rave valves may be gummed up and need cleaning.If you don't have a manual or are new to seadoo maintenance i would join as a premium member and download the manual for your seadoo plus the real pro's on the board will give ya more support, worked well for me when I first got my seadoo and needed help for issues like your having.:cheers:
