2004 seadoo xpdi with around 50 hours.
Can't get the ski past 5300 rpm in the water. Revs fine out of water. Tops out between 41-43 mph.
Background: Got the ski about 4 years ago and ran fine. One day friend sucked up a rope so we turned it over to cut rope out (in water). Once rope was out wouldn't run. Found out it got water into the gas tank. So removed all gas and finally got it running with new gas (out of water). Let sit through winter and fond starter bendix to be rusted solid and would not engage motor. So took it to the local shop and 1400 dollars later he had a new bendix put in (got screwed I know). Ever since then it hasn't been able to go past 5300 rpm. Idles good and runs up to that rpm good, just wont go past. And I know it revs higher and goes faster because of the way it ran when I got it.
What I have tried: I have pulled the RAVE valves out and cleaned them up. They had a lot of carbon build up and I was hopeful that it was my problem. However, it didn't do the trick. Both lines to the rave valves are also clear, and the line and T to those are also clear.
Does the blue plastic screws on top of the RAVE valves have anything to do with limiting the revs? They are screwed all the way in.
Not sure what to try now. Just thought I would post it up on here and see if you guys had any ideas. I have done some research but haven't been able to find a fix. And I do not want to take it back to my local shop.
Thanks, Jordan.
