As I was checking the charging system on my 96 GTX i got the following results. When I hooked up the volt meter to the battery it read 12.95 V. When I put on the DESS key and pushed the start button the voltage dropped to 12.63 but once the engine started and began to idle it came back up to 12.98. Upon bring the RPM up to 4000 according to the guage on the ski the voltage came up to 14.02 adn remained there no matter how high the RPM went.
I read on other threads that the voltage should be between 14.5 and 14.8 volts but not over 15 volts. Does this mean I have an issue at 14.02 volts or am I ok. Second how accurate is the guage on the Seadoos. The manual says the engine should idle at 3500 RPM when connected to the hose and 1500 RPM in the water. I am idling at 1100 RPM connected to the hose. Will I have a problem when I put the ski in the water because it will not have enough power/ fuel to idle under the load of the water?
