New owner mistakes.
1) Took new to me ski to lake and noticed that the ski was overheating. looked on line and saw that multiple issues could cause this. Cleared grating and intake. Nothing noticed. Flushed system with hose. Nothing noticed. Used air compressor and blew system out. Unhooked the #4 connector from MPEM and checked resistance on WTS. Came out about approximately 1500 Ohms. I am pretty sure that this is the problem.
2) Took ski to lake and sure enough, blinking red light and maintenance flashing. It is in limp mode. I am now ordering a new sensor to replace the the one that read poorly. Would this cause the limp home mode? When sensor is replaced, will ski come out of limp mode without taking to dealership?
3) While son was blowing out the lines, he blew compressed air up the bailer tubes in the venturi. He said he heard a pop on both lines. Ski now takes on water. Is there a check valve on these bailers? Could the pressure have broken the check valves or popped the lines?
thanks, I live over 2 hours from a dealer and 1 hour from a local shop. I am usually pretty good witht reading manuals and fixing my own stuff, but I am just new to Jet skis/PWC
