I own a 1997 XP (787) and 1998 XP Limited (951). They have been running great until recently. The 97 XP would barely start on the trailer and the 98 XP Limited would run on the trailer just fine, run in the water and then fall on its face once it ran for about 15 minutes. I did a compression test (thank you Seadoo Forum for the lesson in that) and got.
97 XP, 85 PSI in both cylinders. 98 XP limited 90 PSI in both cylinders.
I totally understand that its time for an engine rebuild or replace. I'm curious why my 98 XP Limited would run great at that PSI and then fall on its face and not start again until the next day.
Would the compression drop more once the ski warmed up because the cylinders expanded. .Just curious.
Thank you all and I pray your upcoming season is fun.
