I have (2) 2022 GTR230. One is fine and one isn't. Will try to keep this short. Was out riding one day...it cut off on me. Was doing like 50mph and just cut off. No warning no nothing. Started right back up. And because of that. I decided to ride slow(not past 20mph). No misfire, no abnormal engine sounds. Looked behind me and saw smoke. So immediately cut it off. Got a tow in. (Not past 5 mph). Checked pump and ring nothing wrong. Once back home removed spark plugs. Spark plugs are normal. not oil fouled or fuel fouled. Cranked engine without spark plugs, no water came out of the pistons. So no water in engine. Reinstalled spark plugs. And started it up. Started fine, rev'ed fine. But again saw smoke out of the rear of the unit. Stopped it immediately. At this point I was perplexed! Decided to take it to my local SeaDoo dealer/repair shop. It was there for a week(bust season) They called and said the tech stated the one cylinder had no compression. They would need to break engine down and find out why? BUT they could not get to it until early July. So I said I would bring it back then or they can keep that one( I have an double ski trailer). They could not as they did not have space. So this weekend I tested compression and I got an average of 152PSI for all 3 cylinders. Am I missing another cause for this problem of cutting off and smoke. Shaft seems fine. I should say I am a certified Tech in Heavy Equipment Repair. So I know what an missing engine sounds like. I am thinking supercharger. I test one an heavy piece of equipment but not one of these. Could that be the problems. Oh yeah both skis have about 45-50 hours on them.
