Default 1997 SeaDoo GSX Revs no propulsion.. VTS issue?

I have searched the forums for an issue i am having but cant find a match. So Thanks for all who respond in advanced.

I have a 97 Seadoo GSX that I purchased new in 97. I have changed fuel/oil lines rebuilt carbs/ravs. I feel like i know how to work on my ski but i am having a funny issue.

When I put the ski in the water it starts and revs fine but there is little to no propulsion. The RPM gauge shoots up to 5000 but the ski barely moves. When I put the VTS in the down position the ski takes off but not as fast as normal. still no hole shot but it will take off and run about 1/2 speed.


I checked the grate and it is intact. Should the impeller turn with the engine? or freely? I plan to take off the grate and check the impeller.


Any and all help is appreciated.
