Took it out to the beach in salt water on a rough day. Ran GREAT for about 2 hours, then started to lose power at full throttle, then slowly started to act like it would die at 90%, then 80%, then 70%, then I took it back to shore before it died on me "out at sea".
I assumed I got saltwater on or in something, as there was about 2" of water in the engine bay. Hosed it out, dried it out. Haven't ridden it since. Then last weekend, we were going to take it out after almost 2 months of sitting and the battery was weak and died before i could get it started.
Not sure if problems are related or if just coincidence.
Anyway, battery has been charging all week, started it up on land a couple days ago just for a few seconds to make sure it would still run and the battery was charged good.
We will take it out again today and i wanted to know if anyone had any input about the losing power at full throttle?
I added seafoam to the gas tank thinking i may have sucked some water into the fuel system or carbs.
