Being that the temp was going to get in the 80's today I dropped the doo in the water last night.
It started right up and being that I have never rode a jet ski I took it easy for the first 10 minutes checking to make sure I was not stranded in the middle of the lake.
So I have a few questions:
My oil light is always on (I have a 1/2 take of the correct oil). Why is it on?
Once I started to run the ski at WOT I noticed after 5-8 sec of WOT the ski bogged down. When releasing the throttle the ski picked back up, this went on for about 20 minutes until the ski really started to bog down at all RPM's and even shut off a few times but started right back up. So I pulled it back out of the water...
Upon further inspection today I was leaking LOTS of oil. I would say a quart of oil is what I cleaned out of the hull. One of those little injection lines was just oozing oil. So I fixed that and dropped it back in the water this afternoon.
Rode it again today and would run WOT for about 10-12 seconds before bogging down again. Once it bogs down I back off the throttle I can run it for another 10-12 sec before doing it again. For the most part I ran it for a half hour today and anything other then WOT it ran great and had lots of power.
I may be missing some information so any suggestions please chime in. I'm thinking a carb rebuild or a high speed jet has some dirt in it.
