So I recently acquired this new water skooter. It has a fresh rebuilt engine. The previous owner said that it wont rev past 3k RPM's. When I picked it up, he started it and it revved to about 5k to 6k RPM's. Compression is about 110psi - 120psi. I have read multiple things where this is normal and not. Not sure what to believe, New regulator/rectifier (i installed it). New fuel pump is being delivered tomorrow (from the previous owner). I have not actually checked fuel pressure yet. After speaking to him some more, it wont rev past 3k RPM in the water. I have yet to put it in the water to test it. No codes or errors on the dash. Brand new battery as well. Starts and runs within the first crank.
He also said that since the engine was rebuilt, he added some oil to the gas because he wanted to lubricate the cylinders. I am tempted to remove it and put fresh fuel in. Since the oil tank is full of blue oil (assuming that is seadoo specific oil?)
I was taking a peak at the impeller, to me it looks like it has some severe wearing on it. If you look closely, it does not look straight or normal.
Is this tube on the left where the water gets sucked in at? Or does it need to be plugged before setting in the water?
Sorry for the million questions. I am very new to these machines. I am going to stick it in the water and see what happens. Am I missing anything? Am I way off base here?
