Hi All,
I have a 2002 gtx di. After winter storage, I added new fuel and started up. If ran fine for about 2 hours and then died in the water, managed to get it started and limp back home, running rough and taking it slow.
Pulled the ski and It would start fine and then run rough with dark smoke after a few minutes. Idled OK, but sputters at higher RPM.
I first checked plugs and compression. Plugs looked fowled and compression is a bit low, but even. (115PSI). Installed new plugs.
Next I focused on the fuel and supply. I do not have the seadoo fuel tester to see if I have the 107 PSI. I pulled the fuel pump assembly out so I could check the filters. The filters looked very plugged and there were many insect body parts inside the fuel reservoir (the tube the pump sits in). I replaced both filters, cleaned out the tank and both parts,
After reinstallation the ski will not start. It cranks, runs if fuel is dumped in cylinders, but seems like it is not getting fuel. Maybe the main filter is plugged, pressure relief valve is bad, or I have a bad fuel pump. It looks like the DI uses a very special pump........
So I now feel I need to get my hands on the fuel pressure tester.
A) does anyone have any other suggestions
B) does anyone have a parts list to build one from autozone parts (what size is the quick connect, what type of fittings are available????)
C) I saw somewhere that someone rents the tester out???? Any contact information?
D) could I tell anything if I pull the fuel rail and injectors?
Thanks for the help, I will post my results
