Pulled spark plug boots off checked all ok.took it out yesterday,Still stopping.
Also i dont think there is a problem with battery it is a very good batt.Never had a problem
Now i've noticed it seems to stop more often when it gets used for longer period.
So that to me seems to be in the ignition coil type area
I'm going to buy another exact model to test out everything so i can finally find the problem.Gee its hard as i have to buy exact year model because they are all different.
Can anyone tell me what parts are the same on this model.
Its a 1999 GTX Limited,Red and White in color

from what I remember, maybe little blurry, but, you were get'n a "cut-out" around mid/high rpm..? Disconnect the rectifier, when this part goin bad, it'll give off this similiar senerio...
Update..nevermind that possiblility, forgot, the rectifier is built into the mpem, but, you may have a faulty one though

some other thoughts
What about something simple like changing the plugs?
from another users, similar problem
I own a 99 ltd and same thing happend to me a couple month ago, and this is what i found>
1. the black cable running from the rear electrical box was rust inside and i change it, everything works but i fails again
2. The nuts for the starter came off so there was no negative to the starter and it couldnt start
3. inthis machine there are some negatives that go to the mgt front cover which happend to be rust so again i dint have power at all,
check everything fisrt because mpem are very expensive.

Carbs and filters are NOT the problem - I have the exact same symptom on my 97 XP with all fresh fuel lines and a fresh carb rebuild with popoff pressure perfect...
Something electrical - I'm trying to rule out the DESS post, but so far haven't been able to
I am having a similar problem on my 96 GTX. Fuel lines replaced, fuel filters cleaned, and RAVE valves cleaned less than 1 week ago. Mine cuts out at anything around 5500 RPMs or whenever I hit a wave of any size. Electrical connections are good. I too am trying to rule things out as I go.
Hi guys,Still no fix to this problem,It's summer here again in AUS
Over winter i had a good look at the Earth wires,I found one to be loose and corroded,I fixed it,Replaced battery,Put it back in water.
STILL DOING IT
Also i cant find the exact model for sale at the right price
Anyone found the problem yet

Have you checked the earth strap from the battery to engine block? As you are pressing the starter switch soooooo hard to try get it started.
Also your starter motor could be so badly worn it is shorting out. At high revs or going over waves, causing the shut down.

Yes all that was done earlier

Pull out the fuel selector valve and check for obstructions, also make sure it shuts off the reserve circuit when in the on position and vice versa. I just had two 951 skis, both selectors were bad.
You did check the carbs, right? They seem to be a majority cause of problems with SD's.

Don't want to sound like a 'doomsayer' but it could be a sticking piston, as mentioned in other reponses.
What are your compression readings?
We had the exact sort of problem and had to get a rebuild.
We did the whole engine but you may only have to do a top end.
Pull your raves and shining a torch into the chambers check and see if there is any piston damage-scrape marks etc.
Goodluck hopefully this is not it!
