91 Seadoo xp possible in limp mode - PWC Forum: The best hang-out for Personal WaterCraft enthusiasts

I just got a 91 seadoo xp, and it will not go more than 5 to 10 mph. The guy I got it from said that the oil block off was already installed. The oil tank is still installed and has oil in it, but the low oil light is still flashing, and I think its causing it to go into limp mode. Does anyone know if it has a limp mode, and if so can i just disconnect the sensor and it will run normal?

I dont think there is a limp mode. Need more information. What happends when you open up the throttle? Does it die or just keep staying at the same RPM? Try choking it while you are riding and see if the rpms come up.

Well it idles somewhat, I throttle up and it will only go so fast. Doesn't sputter or anything.

When you have it out of the water and on a test hose, does it rev up?
