Picked up two skis. The gtx is fuel injected and i have a couple of issues.
First. Got it running and it is very dependable so far. Starts every time and runs well. Only major running issue is when i am full throttle and water is choppy i will hit a wake and the rpm’s go up and seems to be hitting a rev limit. Loses power and when back in the water it will accelerate like normal until i hit another wake and process starts all over again. It gets aggravating in choppy water though.
I have replaced the carbon ring and clearance is normal. I’ve also replaced bearings in the housing and it spins freely. Any ideas?
Second: the digital display does not work. The original one i tried replacing the lcd film but it still wouldn’t display. So i bought a used one. Plugged it in and it worked but lcd film needed to be replaced so i did that and now it doesn’t work. Bought a third one and same thing. I am getting power to the display. I said screw it and left it alone but from time to time you can see some numbers appear on the screen but they are very faint. Not a huge deal but i like my things to work as they are supposed to. Also the speedo jiggles but i think that’s because the wheel on the back is sticking. I will replace that next but not worried about that. I would like to know if anyone else is having the same issues and how they fixed it.
