Sea-Doo GSX GUY
Active Member
Hello, I have a 1999 GSX RFI that was recently rebuilt. I attempted to run it premix only to realize that the rv gear needed oil which cost me two rotary gears. After hooking back up the oil system I ran it with oil still being in the gas which caused the engine to run very rich with oil and smoke a lot as the oil pump is functioning.
I carried it to the lake for a run and it started on first try. When I brought it back on shore and tried to start it i had to open the throttle wide open and hit the starter for a couple of seconds to start. After about half hour of riding it began to bog down on water.
When I pulled it on the trailer it started and is sputtering on idle but revs up to 6500rpm rather well. The rpms also dropped on idle. I then pulled the plugs which were obviously black and fouled due to oil in gas along with oil pump. My question is can too much oil and fouled plugs cause it to suddenly bog down in water and sputter on idle when on trailer??
also, my fuel gauge stopped working which is causing a long beep while riding. I know on Cab models the fix is the f1 chip but how do I go about fixing it on an rfi??
Any help/feedback would be much appreciated
