Hi Folks.. I am beside myself on this one...
I have a 99 gtx rfi... ran great for about 2 hours, with a friend on the back, did not go very fast as the total weight was pretty much close to the limit and while up on plane, started to wander back and forth.. so kept it simple...
got back to shore, dropped off my friend and ran the boat to the trailer... I give it all it had and it felt like top end was starting to bog. so toned it down.. and puttered to the ramp..
As I loaded it onto the trailer, it sounded like it just stopped dead... and would not start.. it did turn over but no kick...
got it home, pulled it apart.. put spark tester on the plugs and both plugs had strong spark...
checked for loose wires or lines but nothing out of the ordinary...
I left it overnight... and went back to it in the morning... without throttle, it did start but ran roughish.... when I pulled the throttle? it started to bog and misfire.. , I let it go and went back to what seemed like limp mode... checked the fuel pressure, was around 54 psi. 3/4 tank fresh gas, oil is topped up... with some original seadoo oil and about 1/2 quart of of synthetic from local marine store, but not seadoo brand.. went for the best one they had... for two stroke pwc...
In case it was carbon related.. I put in seafoam in the injector rail and spayed a load in the air box... no difference... as I can't get it above a bar idle...
I checked the rave valves and the rubber is good and moves well, I could not hear anything like sticking paddle of the valve, it ran smooth...
any idea??? I checked the manual... and it says read the codes and go from their...
not sure about the states.. but there is a 200 minimum and couiple of days notice to allow them the privilege to read the code...
I could use some insite on where to go next... please...
