1992 Sea-Doo engine stops...

[smfrenger]

I have a 1992 Sea-Doo....the engine starts and idles fine - with no problems however, when riding and increasing above idling speed....the engine will lose all power and shut down. Does anyone know what could cause this problem? I originally thought that there could be some bad gas in it....I put in some stabilizer, however its still doing this. Before I got it, it sat for quite a while....any help is greatly appreciated.

with your engine/carb setup, aint bad, but instead of removing carbs, its best to remove the intake/rv manifold. You'll see, actually, see 2-13mm bolts on top, then underneath the plate, 2 more bolts, 13mm, located at bottom of plate, feel around for them, then, you can get a wrench onto them, will take time, then when all 4 out, make sure you remove the manifold carefully, without having the rotary valve stick to it, if it does, use your finger, screwdriver to keep it on the gear, so your timing dont get f't up.
