Well as the title states I finally determined why the seadoo I picked up didn't rev up without choking and dying. Turns out the exhaust rubber hose between the waterbox and hull fitting delaminated and blocks itself when I rev the engine. Now before you say it, yes I figured out that the waterbox rave vavle failed... Err, well it appears to have unscrewed itself and fallen apart, but I was able to easily screw it all back together.
Now the big problem I have is my local dealer and online stores have informed me that the rubber exhaust hose for my 97 GSX is discontinued.
I tried looking for a transport truck size rad hose, but the local truck stores were less than helpful.
My other options are using the stock delaminated hose and some metal piping to make up something that will work or replacing the rubber pipe altogether with a custom made mandrel pipe from an exhaust shop.
Any ideas?
