My Sea-doo was given to me it has 42.7 hrs, it was sitting for several months in the warehouse. I clean it up and noticed the engine in excellent condition. it started up with a new battery. it does not hesitate to start it starts as soon as I press the starter bottom.
Last weekend I took it to the water, it started good, all gears (neutral, forward and reverse) works fine, no codes...the oil and spark plugs were like new. I did added an octain booster and I filled the gas up with premium gas. I noticed that it accelerated not as fast and it reached 34-36 mph with no problem. RPM's 4-5. I rode it thinking it needed to run since it was sitting.... after a little while of riding I pressed the throttle and the sea doo wanted to speed up fast; it pull me backwards for a second or two, but it slowed down to the same speed as before. when it accelerated the rpms reached 7.5-8 and the speed went up from 35 to 56.
There was times that I stopped and took a swim, I restarted it, it worked as normal but with the same acceleration issue.
I took it to a PWC Shop and they are going to replace the jet propeller and the ring; that is their diagnosis...I checked the jet intake, but did not see anything obstructing the jet propeller; I was wondering if you have a second opinion since my background is not into the mechanics too much, however, I enjoyed it so much that I am willing to take some PWC mechanic classes. I appreciate your input.
Regards, and stay safe.
