Got a 2003 Seadoo GTI LE RFI from a friends family who had purchased new ones. It had undetermined issues, but had been garage kept whole out of the water and is physically in great shape. Recently installed a reman engine from SES. Also replaced the starter and starter relay, coolant temp sensor, put in a new battery, and checked all the fuses. It fired right up on the trailer, I let it run about 30 seconds each time and it seemed great.
Took it to the lake for the first time today and it was idling a little rough, but seemed ok at first. But then, after only a few minutes (3-4) it cut out and was difficult to start again. It did this several times, and became more and more difficult to start again. We never got it past 3,200 rpm, (but also wasn’t trying to take it too high because it was the first time out with the reman engine). It didn’t seem to be cutting out at any particular rpm though, it just happened randomly- sometimes while idling in the no wake, sometimes while reving.
Thought it may be the battery, so put it back on the trailer and drove to the marina for a replacement. Put it back in the water and it continued to have the same problem.
Once out of the water it still starts up perfectly and sounds great.
The display is also not showing the speed (digital readout nor the dial), nor the hours (it just shows dashes where the hours should be).
Any thoughts on remedying this and getting it running? Thanks!
