OK. I'm new here, but I've got a quick question. I have two 1995 Seadoo Bombardier jet skis. One is out of commission right now (needs spark plugs and battery), but the other one was working fine on Labor day.
But I took it out earlier today, and it was running great for a while, full speed, full throttle, then it just quit on me, almost as though it was out of gas, even though I had just filled the tank.
This jet ski has a brand new battery, charged properly and all. The spark plugs were replaced a year ago, and don't show any signs of wear and tear yet.
There is no water coming in through the hull at all.
But I don't know why it's quitting on me. I've come to the conclusion that if I don't press on the throttle at all, it will stay on, even if I go at, lets say half-throttle, it'll coast... But anything on the upper end, it will rev up to that much power, then just die on me.
I suggested the problem to a friend, and he wasn't sure about his answer, but he mentioned that without the throttle handle pressed down, the jetski should remain in idle... And if that's true, then mine's messing up because without my hand pushing down the throttle, I'm still moving forward, just at "no wake" speed. He said that since I am moving forward instead of straight up idling, my idle is set too high... But I'm not sure if that's the case or not.
Could anyone please provide me some insight?
Thanks,
ZMD.
