Dies under WOT

[unit]

Hello everyone,

First post and glad to be a part of this community.

I do have a problem though was wondering if anyone could help me out here?

I have a 95 seadoo gtx and have performed the following tasks:

replaced all fuel lines
rebuilt carbs (or I should say thoroughly cleaned carbs and filters)
put in a new wear ring
checked comp. in cylinders
removed old gas
running first tank of gas as mix about 60/1

The ski runs great out of the hole and could run all day at half throttle or so and you can go to wot for a sec no problem. However when you hold wot it dies? You can catch it with the throttle and not let it die completely but if you hold wot it will die.

This ski is new to me and previous owner had played with the high jet adj. screws. So I reset both low and high to factory specs.

I can't figure out if it's a lack of fuel problem or a air leak problem? Didn't know if anyone else had experienced these symptoms. I did open the gas tank and didn't hear a obvious vacuum problem.

Pretty sure it's not a electrical, not positive however. It's just that the ski really doesn't just die, it acts like it ran out of gas or something?

Thanks for you help

Try increasing the idle speed. Should be set for about 3000rpm on the trailer, which should be about 1500rpm in the water. I like to set mine just a little higher, like about 1700 just enough so I don't hear the rattle.

WOT is controlled by High Speed Screw. You may have some trash accumalted on needle face. Also check for airbox restrictions, might not be getting enogh air into the carb for WOT. Just some thoughts.

might wanna try your fuel selector on reserve as a quick check to see if there might be some clogging in the selector valve.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I had tried the reserve switch already even though I had already cleaned the selector switch and it didn't change anything. I decided to completely rebuild the carbs, instead of just cleaning them.

Going to the lake today, will let you know if that helped.
