Water coming out exaust?????

[Aliza]

HI guys quick question is there suppose to be water flowing out the exaust port in the rear of a sea doo challenger 1800 , my port side doesnt have any water coming out but my starboard motor does!! port it stalls but starts right back up with no problem but cant hit max rpm!! thanks for the replies!!

Yes It is. It's apart of the cooling system. Are you running in or out of water?

i was in the water earlier and the port engine kept shutting off but would start right back up so when i got it home i was just checking over things while i was flushing both engines and i noticed only the starboard side had water coming out of it , so i was thnking that my port engine was getting hot and sutting itself off because there was no water coming out the port exaust so i have to find out where its clogged at!! any ideas and thank you for the quick reply Flightfollowng!

only got a jetski my self but if its the same then there will be a elbow/ jet that's tapped into the through hull exhuast piece check the hose to it and the jet its self i have had them packed full of sand and grit.

When you run on the hose, you are back-flushing the system. I don't have a challenger manual, but do you have two garden hose size water spigots that exit the hull close to the jet-pumps? If so, those should be plugged while flushing. I'm not sure why Bombardier did this to begin with, maybe to keep the novices from flooding the engines on the hose. Anyway, try plugging that hose, or if it does not have it, find where the flush hose tees with the head, clamp the side that exits the boat.

Another thing to look for is water pouring out of the jet drive, that is a sign that the intake for the water is clear.

With the bypass (seadoo calls it a "calibrated fixture" also used as a flushing point) plugged, you need to start the engine first, then slowly apply water pressure so that you do not flood the exhaust. This is a 96 717 water flow chart, I would be willing to bet it is the same or similar to yours.

You do know that there are separate flush connections for each engine?

 

[Gamerse]

P.S. REMEMBER all the water (except the exhaust) flows 100% backwards from what the chart shows when flushing.

LOL yes indeed i do know that there are two differant flush points for each engine! i have water coming out of the starboard exhaust and from behind the stern ring! just nothing coming out of the port exhaust, and the water does exit near the jet exit on the port side same as the starboard side the only differace is the exhaust has water coming out of it on the starboard but not the port side !! if i do not find any problems tomorrow when i get into the water system i will take a video of it so you guys can see what i am talking about!! Thanks again for all the replies i reallly do appreciate it alot guys!!

well just fnished with the water system and everything s clear i blew air into all the water lines and there connecting spots and everything was a-ok!i did notice my spark plugs which i just changed,that has no more than 3 hours of play time on them are soaked so i guess i am running a rich so now its off to see what i can do about that!!

Breeze untill you see a picture of sparkplugs, back up and read from there.

Thanks Gamerse, check it out and looks like oil and fuel the first two photos are mine exactly!! did a compression check numbers are with in the 10% range 138 and 150,! I ineed to take t out to see if i can recreate the problem from yesterday!!

Anyone else chime in, but with a difference in pressure of 9%, and a bogging problem, wouldn't he maybe want to pull the head to check for water ingestion? Just seems a bit odd that he encountered stalling, and lower compression on one cylinder at the same time.

 

[Aliza]

I scoped both cylinders after the readings and i couldnt see any water or any kind of fluids in the cylinders so i am stumped~~ oh well time to take it out!! Thanks again for your postings andi will keep everyone upto date on what i find!
