I recently got some advice from a local mechanic and I just wanted to pass it along to ya'll and see if it was good/sound advice before I attempt it on my own ski...
First off I have a Seadoo 97 GTS with a 717 engine... and I have noticed as of recently that the engine is not preforming as well as it used to until it gets warmed up...
He suggested that my sluggish problems that I have been having is because of carbon build up on my piston and piston walls... he said for me to take to plugs out and spray break cleaner onto the top of the pistons and then turn the motor over and then repeat and then spray pretty liberally again... then take a rag and place it over the plug holes and press and hold the start button for about 5 sec... and then check the rag for dirt and grim... then he said for me to repeat the process until the rag is clean afterward...
He also stated that I need to be running 93 unleaded gas in my seadoo...
Please reply with any suggestion that this is a good idea or maybe any other suggestion that you might have to clean the engine...
Thanks
Chris
