I have a 95' RA700 and it starts fine, but it sputters when idling. Furthermore in the water it revs high to 7000 RPM but only goes at half the speed. Any suggestions?

Cavatation. Check the impeller/liner gap (2-7thou normal) and impeller for damage and scoop grate for blockages.

Hi there we've got the 1100 triple and have had the same problem a couple of times . As soon as we noticed we had it straight out of the water and gave it a good flushing through , revving it very high and i think it clears the carbs and anything else that seems to be hanging around in there.
I'm probably wrong.
Mind you its a long time since you started your thread and you've probably got a new ski now !!!!
