96 gti propulsion issues

[Areidenbach4229]

When I'm at idle speed then hit the throttle the motor revs to high rpm.. If I throttle slow until the ski gets out of the water it is ok.. But if I'm on top of the water and hammer the throttle it just doesn't accelerate .... It kinda of acts like its clutching out .. I know there is
No clutch!!! So I'm wondering what the issue might be!! Any suggestions ??

You've got a condition known as cavitation, too much air in the pump area. It's usually caused by a worn wear ring, check the clearance between the impeller and the wear ring, it should be no more than .040" about the width of a dime. If the wear ring looks O.K. the next thing to check is the carbon seal.

Did this advice solve your problem? I am thinking that I have the same problem with mine so it would be helpful to know if you got yours running ok again.

Please start your own thread instead of bringing back 3 year old ones. Makes it easier for us to help you.
