Back to the drawing board 2000 GTS

[Phsgrad11]

Okay so I replaced the 3 water intake lines due to my old ones really gunked up. Before I replaced them a long continuous beep would come on, I assume overheating due to no water being taken in. So now I take the ski out with the new hoses on and have almost zero power and shut off a few times when trying to accelerate. Before I replaced the lines I had all the power in the world but now none. There is no beeping noise now though, any suggestions?

Anybody?

Need more information or history, what has been done recently or not done to this ski? Has the fuel system been gone through? old grey lines replaced? rebuilt carb lately? new OEM fuel selector?

If it ran good before you probably have the new cooling lines hooked up wrong injecting water in locations it shouldn't be.

Mikidymac - when I replaced them all I did was put them back exactly where the old ones were...would you happen to have a diagram of how they should be?

All I have done was replace spark plugs, water intake lines, new battery, new fuel and oil

Also carb looks brand new with nothing in it

What do mean nothing in it? You opened it up? Confirm...grey lines or not, carbs rebuilt with a new OEM kit and a new OEM fuel selector. If you haven't done any of this, that's a place to start. You need to go a little further, these skis need special attention in the fuel delivery systems. Majority of issues you describe are related to this...

Sent you a PM

I saw it, I'm not sure why you sent a PM to me to say you haven't replaced the grey fuel lines. I'm trying to advise what you need to do and you keep wanting to know why you're having issues..

The grey tempo lines are a problem, they don't hold up well with today's ethanol fuel, they gum up the carbs and cause problems. replace them. Rebuild the carb with a genuine OEM kit, if you can't confirm it was done, go ahead and do it. Replace the fuel selector with a good OEM, they are the source of problems all the time.

Reply on here when it's done, and people on here can help if you're still having issues.

Okay then what brand or preferred fuel likes do you recommend?

Stankard black automotive fuel hose available at any auto parts store.

 

[Phsgrad11]

Thanks. Do you know what size diameter the hoses are?
