Sea-Doo only for speed and no cruising ? ? ?

[guzzio]

Hey Guys ... Help me out on this one ...

I went to a boatshop that is pecialized in Sea-Doo engines and BRP products. The carbs are completely refurbished and everyting is checked. Sparks, carbs, ... The reason i did this check-up is because the engine always dies after 10 to 15 minutes cruising at stationary iddle ...

I took it for a spin today and when i go half or almost full trotthle, everything is just perfect. But when i let the boat cruising around at stationairy idle, it dies after about ten minutes. And then it's impossible to get it fired up again! Even when i place new sparks, it doesn't fire-up. The same day, at home, when the engine is cooled down, it starts almost instantly ... The sparks are all wet, covered with oil / fuell.

That was the reason why i took my Sea Doo challenger (single engine) to the boat shop in the first place. And after the carbs are completely refurbished and the boat has been tested by the boat specialised, it still dies after cruising ...

So my question: is a Sea Doo only good for playing around, so to say hit the throttle and go like a bullet? And is it not suitable for relax cruising around?

What could be my problem ... ? ? ?

Hey Guzzio,
Sounds like your engine might be overheating and cutting out, if your engine doesn't have closed loop cooling and relies on the lake/river water then possibly the speed of your boat determines how much water is running through the engine to cool it.

I agree.

Make sure your temp sensor and beeper are working.

I take my boat out, and I have it idling all the time.

If your engines are running properly... there is no reason why would couldn't idle an entire tank of fuel.
