Hey Guys,
I just purchased my first jet ski from a friend of a friend for a great price. I know the primary owner of the ski took good care of it and it was serviced regularly. The guy I bought it from never even put it in the water so it sat for a couple years maybe. We added some new gas and were able to get it started but it has problems starting consistently so the plugs were changed. That cleared it up for the most part.
We have taken it to the lake twice and 90% of the time it starts just fine. However, it takes a few hits to get it running. A couple times it takes a few minutes or more to get it running. I assume somewhat related, it also has some hesitation at 3000-4000 rpm. It seems to accelerate fine and runs like a top at full throttle. We are going to change the fuel filter. We think we have run all the old gas out. What other areas should we look at?
Thanks for any help.
