2005 RXT Cutting Out and Overheating

[trossol]

I recently bought a pair of 2005 RXTs. One of them cuts out when accelerating, but only when accelerating from a stop and at wide open throttle. Once it is up to speed, it runs fine and tops out at the same speed as the other. It also accelerates gradually without any problems.

The same one also sets off the high temp warning when cutting back and forth through its own wake, but doesn’t have any problems when running at high speeds.

Any recommendations before I break down and take it into the dealer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Tim

I'm guessing you're setting of the high temp warning in the exhaust not engine. What's probably going on is you have some obstruction in the water intake for the exhaust which disrupts water flow at lower speeds. I would check the water intake and make sure there's nothing plugged up in there.

Try this before letting the stealer have your baby for a while....

There is a water line feeding your water box...while the ski is outa the water...on lift...trailer..ect...with motor off disconnect line form J-pipe....here's the tricky part....blow on the line.

Sometimes the screen in the pump will get a bit clogged with crap.

Reconnect and try it out on the water.
