Hello everyone! My name is Josh & I'm new here! I am hoping to meet some great people as well as get some help when things go wrong with my GSX.
I took her out for the 4th....ran great all day. Towards the end of the day I flipped her upside down....1st time ever so I really didn't know about the proper way of flipping it back over. I am pretty sure I flipped it back up correctly but not positive. Got it back up & it ran great for 30 mins then parked it for the night. I checked & there wasn't much water anywhere inside. It was upside down for probably 3-5 mins. Next day I go to ride, starts right up but never got over 15mph. It wouldn't go. I immediately change plugs and it still wouldn't go so I take her out of the water. The entire time I could hear it skipping. Out of water I put another set of plugs and it sounds fine. As soon as I put a load on it hose or water it won't run over 15mph. Thought valves may be sticking so I removed valves & cleaned. New plugs again put back in water....still wont open up! Took her back out of water & drained fuel. Added seafoam & fresh gas. STILL did not fix issue so I'm stuck here. At the begging of all of this I was getting fire from plugs. At the very end of all my attempts to fix I was not getting any spark when grounding.
Any thoughts, suggestions, questions would be very appreciated!!! Fresh water ridden & very well taken care of since bought new by a lifelong friend!

If you listed your ski right it is a 97 gsx which makes it a 2 stroke motor. This part of the forum is for 4 strokes so that might be why response time here has not been good. But I would do a compression test first to be sure.
