My uncle gave me his 1996 Seadoo XP a couple weeks ago. It’s been running, but every time I start out it hits top speed and then bogs down and goes maybe 1/4 of top speed with the throttle fully in-gauged. After that I will get it to maintain top speed but will randomly shut down and have to start back up. There’s been times I’ve been in the middle of the lake and it shuts down. Never fails to crank back up again, but sometimes takes it a few times to reach top speed again. Could this be a bad carburetor? The bogging down makes me think so. Any thoughts?
