Idle speed on 1996 GTX 787?

[CZSteve]

What's the proper idle speed on a '96 GTX 787 when out of the water?
I'm new and just fired up the second GTX after replacing all the grey fuel lines; first ski had a much lower idle but we're also having some other issues - suspect a bad rectifier.

Brief run out of the water and not on a water hose has the idle from 2500-3000; another thread I read indicated this is about right - seems high but obviously I'm on a learning curve...

I'll hook it up to hose later this afternoon time permitting; heading out to the Ranger game :hurray:

I'm assuming running on a garden hose does not have any impact on idle speed but being on the water will.
Proper idle speed out of the water? On the water?

Thanks again,
Steve

Out of water it will probably around 3K but most importantly is the idle speed in the water....about 1400-1600 depending on your preference.

Hose 3000 rpm which will knock it down to about 1500 rpm on the water when the impeller has a small load on it.

You can set it to about 3000-3200 on the hose, but the best way to set the idle is in the water, it should be 1500-1600rpm, I like it a little on the high side as it reduces the "SeaDoo Rattle".
