Finally got this on the lake. I tied to boat dock and got it to where it would barely run. Immediately put it in reverse and a little throttle. It struggled for a minute then blew whatever crap was left in it out. Put it back in neutral and let it idle a bit. Whipped her around the lake a few...

Hello sir. I finally was able to take a little time this weekend and get back to boat. The fuel pressure seemed to be up about 35 psi when I'd turn key to on position. When I'd start it it would stay about 30 psi. I noticed it still had some discolored gas coming out when I hit the pressure...

Hello Dr. I have yet to check pressure. I noticed it has an electric pump and a manual pump just after. Where would I check pressure and what should it be at? I'm thinking the diaphragm in the manual pump is bad. I've had that happen on an outboard due to lack of use. Thx again!

So when I said gen 1, i got ahead of myself. It has the small round cover. Thx

Hello Dr. Yes sir it's the gen 1. I actually replaced the both filters. I haven't checked pressure yet. I'm assuming it's in that direction, because it pressures up to start, but doesn't main to run. Going to get gage from neighbor and check there next.

I had gas that went bad due to lack of use. I drained tank and changed filters. When I start it rpm's go up and when they come back down to idle...it stalls. All the fuel lines look good. I'm not sure what it could be. Any advice would be great. Thx

I have a 01 islandia with the 240 m2. I've only had it out once in two years. I went to pull it out and get it on lake. Naturally the gas went bad. I emptied tank and replaced filters. It still will not idle. It starts and wants to go to idle and dies. Im looking for some advice. Thx

Regulator was the problem. I really appreciate your guidance. You are very knowledgeable with this vessel. I'm glad I came across this site. I did the second battery also. One last question. My lanyard broke and I was looking to buy a new one. I believe I'm looking for a non dess. Thx again for...

I was thinking the same thing. I just wanted your professional opinion. I'm going to do the 2nd battery like you did aslo. I found the regulator on boats.net, do you know of a better dealer? Thx for getting back to me, on this old thread!

Hey Dr.Honda. It's been a few but I just got back into this boat. I checked all the wires and connections, everything looks good. Unplugged yellow wires from stator to regulators. There is very low resistance and no continuity to ground. I tried a fuse again and it pops as soon as I turn battery...

I can test the voltage regulator, even though it's blowing fuses? What should the regulator and stator coils read at? Sea-Doo said it could be anywhere from $800 to $1200. I've worked on cars for years and think I maybe able to figure it out, with some help from you of course. Thx for the quick...

I have a 00 Islandia with the merc 240 m2. I had a loss of power on the lake. Battery was not charging. I remember seeing about engine fuses in the manual. Found the bottom voltage regulator fuse blown. Tried another and it blew. Is regulator bad? Is there something else I should be looking at...

Dr. Honda. I'm looking todo the bypass on my 01 islandia. I have the parts list you put out. Where can I order those? Thx!
