From the top!
Inherited a 2003 GTX 4Tec with 74 hours.
have had it for 4-6 months and started it every 2 weeks with the hose hooked up to it to keep battery charged/ oil circulated waiting to get the registration/title transferred
Took it out today for the maiden voyage, started immediately no problem idled out of the no wake zone and slowly accelerated, revved to nearly 5,000 rpm and wouldnt go over 32mph and wouldnt rev past 5k rpm.
Cruised at that speed thinking to myself "idiot you grabbed the bitch key and its limited". So i said screw it i drove about 2 miles up river and the throttle and power started to bog and & droped to 4500 RPM and 22mph and wouldnt go faster than that, if i revved it higher it would bog and loose power.
Throttle down and would slowly pick back up to 4500ish rpm. go to turn around to head back to the dock and it dies, let it sit for a minute and start it back up, fires up no problem (no battery/starter issues)
ride for 5 minutes and still wont rev past 4500 and wont go over 22-24mph
heading towards ramp, and alarm goes off, check engine pops up on digital display and i slow to idle and shut her down.
Take key out, sit for 10 minutes, start it back up, check eng temp and it was at 78, started riding again and it raises to 80 doesnt go over 80 at all, make it back to ramp, let off gas and let it drift in, and it stalls at idle.
make it home and hook it up to the hose, wont start without giving it gas and once it started it wont idle.
im thinking either bad gas from sitting, clogged or stuck injector , or something else.
this is my first PWC and any help is appreciated. i can provide video and pictures if anyone can suggest anything.
Thanks in Advance.
