I have a 1994 XP that runs great on the trailer. New fuel in it. I got it from a guy that hadn’t run it in a few years. I siphoned the fuel out and put new spark plugs and new fuel in it. The first day I put it in the water. I cranked it up and gave it some throttle and it took a few minutes for it to react to the throttle. Eventually it started working correctly and got up to speed quickly and sounded good and worked good. After a few minutes of running good it would bog down and quit. I would crank it back up and it would take a minute or two of not reacting to throttling up and then it would get up and go again for a few minutes then bog down and quit and this cycle continued over and over until it finally just wouldn’t get back up and go. It would still crank up at idle and then die after a few seconds and wouldn’t react to throttle. I loaded it up on trailer took it back home and cranked it again on trailer and ran perfect. Next day I took it back out to the water and it would crank up and idle around with low throttle but would never get up to higher rpm’s and go. I think it would maybe get up to 5mph max speed and would run like that without dying but after awhile I just gave up in the water and put it back on the trailer. The jetski will not stay running at idle in the water but will out of water also. Any thoughts or tests or parts that could be bad would be much appreciated. Maybe impeller and wear ring?
