I have taken the Jetski out three times after buying it a month ago.
For the first 2 times, it ran perfectly.
It ran low on oil, the previous owner used xps oil, but I used 2-stroke semi-synthetic lucas oil after (exceeds api tc). It still ran fine that day after putting the oil in.
Yesterday when I took it out for the third time, I bought some pour-in fuel system/carburetor cleaner, the ones that you pour in along with the gas. When i arrived and started the jetski for the first time, it ran very well.
The first five minutes in were great until it stalled.I then tightened the clamp of the manifold since it was slightly loose. Then when I went again, it was running until I throttled it more around 3/4 in. It stalled. I just looked at the engine bay, Everything looked fine, no leaks, no smoke, and the fuel lines were not gray. I kept riding that day at half throttle max, everytime it did stall, I would start the jetski and let it run on idle for 15-30 seconds then it would run fine until the throttle was pressed in fully. Towards the end of the day when I kept starting it after it stalled, it would not start and run. I would turn on the engine, it sounds as if it would come to life and then die a second after letting go of the start switch. I should have stopped riding the jetski as these problems came in. It stalls a second after the engine turns on, it doesn't even idle. I haven't done any deep dive maintenance on the pwc yet, the previous owner did mention that the last time he used it was around 2 1/2 years ago.
Any ideas where to start?
P.S. This is my first pwc and I am new to the forums.
Thank you!
