I took my GSX RFI year 2000 out for the first time this year. I put £20 fuel in the tank, topping up the few litres that were already in. It started no problem but then immediately started to misfire on acceleration and when ticking over. I ran it for about 2 mins until I got back to land.
I then started it up again and the 'low 12 volt' message appeared and it was still running rough and misfiring.
I got it home and have since changed the spark plugs and battery. Seems to sound OK out of water. I am going to water test it next week. I am aware that running in water will require more power from the electrical system hence why it might seem OK out of water and running rough in water.
Do you guys think the 2 faults could be linked? I am also considering changing the voltage regulator as it seems this could be the problem too?
Any help appreciated!! Thanks in advance.
