Hey yall,
Had a problem today not seeing on any posts. My Sea doo gsx 800 runs fine with one rider. Turn it off and load a second passenger on the back it barely starts and when it starts will not accelerate? Seems like a choking issue but I really don't know.
Any idea's
 
I don’t even know where to start with this one... The only thing I can think of that changes with a second rider is the exhaust is sitting a little lower in the water. That shouldn’t give you a hard start though. Maybe someone will have some ideas, but I’m stumped...
 
It's water in the exhaust having to get pushed out by the pressure created by the motor. Nothing to worry about when it comes to starting, if it won't clear out and run then you might have another issue. I hate riding double on small hulls because starting is always a pain.
 
Maybe a weak battery, maybe do a load test, perhaps a starter drawing too much current.?
