Just got our sea doo back from the repair shop about 3 weeks ago. She had been sitting in covered storage for almost 3 years with no use. The storage was on the marine repair lot and they were regularly winterized.
List of things repaired included new or rebuilt carbs, new fuel lines, and cleaned fuel tank.
Took her out on the water and she seemed to take longer to start then I remember.. But once she was running it ran great for the last 2+ weeks. Except the gas gauge stopped working after the first day.. (looks like a total loss of power maybe on the gauge?)
Fast forward to yesterday. Me and my son were out on it and it just was not running right. Sounds more grunty then usual. and also appears to be a 10mph top speed loss (using the boats speedo which I know is not accurate). It usually stays around 50mph now it wont go past 40. Very sluggish coming out of a spin or just taking off.
So I pulled her out on the trailer to check the impeller and just do a general visual inspection. I took the seat off and found a water leak on the port side coming from what looks like the intake manifold. it just sprays water into the engine compartment while running. (i think it did this in the past but not as bad)
Anyone have an idea?
