I have a 1997 Sea Doo GTX. No modifications have been made to the ski.
Here is the issue: The ski will start right up with no problem and it will idle without incident. When you give it full throttle, however, it will bog right down and make a low distorted rumble. If I let the ski idle for 10-15 minutes and then give it full throttle it will run fine. I ran it this way all last summer. It doesn't really bother me all that much as it always runs fine after 10-15 minutes. It drives the kids nuts though as they have to wait around and idle while their friends are ripping up the lake.
I have replaced the rectifier.
I have replaced the plugs.
I have checked the impeller, no clogs.
I am rebuilding the carbs (genuine mikuni) and replacing all of the fuel and oil lines this weekend. I am hoping that is it.
Based on my description, can anyone think of something that I may want to look at while I have it open and taken apart? Anyone deal with this issue in the past? - starts fine, idles fine, bogs on full throttle but will work fine if you just give it 10-15 minutes of warm up. Any pointers?
Thanks in advance.
