Hey All,
Hope all is well with everyone... Had some "issues" I've been tending to but was finally able to get a few rides in. So, when ON the hose and keeping carbon ring wet, I get a NICE STRONG flow from the pisser, pipe and jugs are completely COOL to the touch. After I turn hose and ski off, the pipe gets WARM, but not devastatingly hot. When I'm out on the water, ski runs great, water is flowing from pisser, but definitely not as strong as when on hose. When I shut the ski off, the pipe is already pretty hot. After hanging on the beach for a bit, When I go to start it back up, the alarm buzzes momentarily and as soon as I give it gas, the alarm goes away. Get back to house, put it on hose, STRONG pisser flow, cool pipe, head, etc.
I even blew out the pump/drain lines and there's NO clog whatsoever.
Compression is good, fresh set of carbs, etc.
Any ideas as to what else? The ski does NOT cavitate. (I've heard that a cavitating impeller can reduce pump intake water amount)
To sum it up, it seems as if the ski isn't getting as much water IN the water as it is while on the hose.
