Just picked up a ski.. need help.

[stang94]

I just picked up a 1994 SeaDoo Bombardier, great deal only $200.

First day I take it out it run great, hits about 35 mph. I went out again yesterday, for some reason it will run fine, then all of the sudden it will lose power and sounds like it's not getting the gas. (i'm not a professional, but seems like that). Then if I rest it and after a while again, it will run fine a little and then do the same thing.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Also could a weak battery cause this?

Thanks,

Mike

clogged internal carb filters, remove carbs and go through them.
battery won't cause that.

thanks,

I'll check that tomorrow. Beside that is there anything else I can look for while I'm there?

Do u have the grey fuel lines? If so replace them!

Do you have any images as to what/where to look for that? or what it looks like?

They are internal. Carbs need to come off, disassembled, and cleaned.


BUT... have you checked to see if water was coming out the pee hole? It could be overheating.

While I was riding I looked back and water is coming out of the pee hole. Not as much as a newer jet ski, but then again, the whole size that the water is coming out of is not that big anyway.

Does that works with water pump or something else.. ?

Sorry I'm not too familiar with jet ski terms here

There's lots of info re replacing grey fuel ines, cleaning out tank, and filters (internal and external). Search using search up above.
The water comes from the jet pump area and feeds into the engine where it is circulated. Some of it comes out the pee holes.
