This is my 1st SeaDoo but I have ridden for years...need some advice. this one has never been worked on, all the bolts are still painted with no scratches from sockets.
She starts up great & runs very smooth... but when you throttle up to take off.. it doesnt really seem to take off very good & get planed out..
if you gradually throttle up (over a period of maybe 2 seconds) the engine just seems to speed up but it takes a good bit for it to jump up on top of the water.
The only way I have found to get it to work is to do a real quick full throttle punch followed by immediate half throttle. If you just punch it & hold it wide open it basically feels like you are trying to pull a 300lb dude on a tube..
that seems to get it to jump up out of the water then start picking up speed.
I've never seen one do like this.
Any ideas?
Also any suggestions on some routine maintenance would be appreciated as well.. (big things to look for to avoid disasters)
