Hello
I just obtained a '99 Yamaha XL1200Ltd from a great friend. It had been sitting for about 2+years.
I cleaned the fuel tank, changed the plugs, and installed new battery and
took it to the river and it ran FANTASTIC .. never had so much fun !
The next day, I went to the river and it ran great for about 2 minutes and bogged down .. would not rev. Top speed was about 3Mph.
Took it out of water, plugged in the water hose and it revs beautifully
I inspected the water filter, checked for water blocks in line from impeller ..
all clear... no blocks. Changed fuel filter.
When I put it back in the water it just boggs down .. no power. Very rarely, I get a burst of energy from the motor for about 3 seconds and that's it.
Why is there no power in water ?
Many Thanks for your help !
