Hey everyone!
I bought this old 1988 Yamaha Waverunner 500 just for the kids to boot around the lake. Runs great but not really familiar with pwc's in general ( more an atv guy ) So thing runs great when the lake is smooth but any sort of wave you hit ( even small ) the engine just revs up and you lose momentum. You just have to let off the throttle for a second and then go again. To me, it seems like the system is losing pressure but it's not like it's being jumped in the air or over wakes or anything....doesn't seem like the prop is coming out of the water at all. We have a 1993 650 as well and it doesn't do this. Any idea on what could be causing this ? Or if anyone has had one of these machines is that just the way they are ?
Thanks for any help/info!
