New sea doo owner with questions

[brianroeller]

Taken doo's out now three times and at the end of the day yesterday one of them started acting up. When you give it full throttle it sounded bogged down and more louder. I towed it in and brought it home, so it wouldn't get damaged. I was thinking my intake valves are clogged and was curious if anyone has cleaned those out on a 2016 GTX S155? Running high octane all three times and I'm 5 hours into my 10 hour break in. So did not think it was fuel issue. Any opinions would be helpful or videos of cleaning out intakes on my model or similar model.
Thanks you for any help, Brian

I know of no one that has had clogged intake valve issues.

That ski is fly by wire, I feel it is electrical. Like a TPS that would be in range but not correct for the present throttle position.

Take it to the dealer and let them plug in so they can see what the electronics/components are actually doing.

Thank you! I will run it by dealer tomorrow. Was hoping it was something simple. Trying to educate myself on these things. I know with toys, things go wrong. Hoping in future to be able to recognize and fix with help from educated sea doo owners like yourself.

If the ski was older, then I think it would be more worthwhile to dig into this. But being basically new, I think it is a dealer issue. This will also put it on record in the event of an issue in the future,,

My wife was on the one that had the problem and she was using the learning key. I had the no restriction key in mine and figured if either of them was to have any issue it would be mine. I was having some fun, she was too but at a much lower key than myself. So, I figured hers sucked something in and clogged it up. We were on a pretty clean fairly deep lake, but anything can happen. We have not yet experienced what it sounds like when there clogged, which everyone I know who has them has experienced. Do they sound bogged down when clogged or just overheat? I know it sounds stupid, but not sure what I'm looking for when it happens. I figured that's what had happened.

usually if the pumps clogged it will shake the ski and cavitate. Trailer it and crawl under with a flash light and look. If the pumps clear then its most likely electrical like others have said. Intake valves clogged? Intake grate maybe.
