New here, I have a ZXi 1100 that Ive owned since around 2004 and never had a minute of trouble with it until now. I havent rode it much this season, the last time out it was running great then just died. It was very hard to restart, ran crappy and would keep dieing out. Also the fuel gauge had stopped working prior to this ride. I took it to the dealer this week and it has 120psi in the outside cylinders but only 20psi on the center cylinder. Im guessing it dosnt have a have a hole in the piston since it has some compression.
No idea what happened? Like I said its been 100% reliable until this season. Dealer wants $300 to tear it down to find out whats wrong and THEN they'll give me an estimate. The unofficial estimate is $1300 for a rebuild or up to $2200 if they replace the entire engine with an SBT rebuilt one. This ski is in nearly showroom condition, but still its probably only worth $2500 without trailer so not sure about putting the cash into it.
So any guesses as to what could have happened to cause this? Would you put the $$$ into it? And is the dealer ripping me off?
