Speedster SK 717 Pngine / Pump Problems - PLEASE HELP
Hey guys just picked up a Seadoo Speedster SK w/ dual 717 engines in it. Having a few problems and was wondering if you could help me out wondering if you could help me out.
Engine 1 (left) doesn't want to idle, but runs ok once I got it going. It takes alot of choke and throttle to get it started. The engine could definitely run better (Could this just be the idle on the carb?). Also seams to run 200 - 500 rpms lower than its counterpart between mid a full rpms
In general the boat maxed at 40 mph (using gps for measurment). From my understanding this boat should make it up to 50 mph, so something is not performing correctly....The left engine was rebuilt in 06'.....Any Ideas
There is a lot of rattling during hard acceleration. To be more specific about the heavy rattling. It is worst when the engine is stressing to get into a plane, and then it levels of to normal after you are at top speed and planing.
Could this be the pumps? It says that the left pump is new in winter of 09....Could it be the drive shafts, etc????
What do you guys think? On top of all this are there any normal problems I should look out for and get ahead of.
I could really use the help, I was hoping to work on it tonight, and also anything long term will have to be ordered.
