My 1300R with 20 hrs. just did a strange thing. With no warning the motor started to run very erratic. It won't rev up as usual and it seems as if it had water in the fuel system. I drained the gas and nothing happend. I Changed spark plugs and nothing, it seems as if it just lost 50% of its power. I noticed some oil on the bottom of the hull and I wonder if something broke on the block and I am loosing compresion. Has anyone experienced something like this? What do you guys think. It is a very new PWC and I was not expecting trouble so soon.
Please help.

As stupid as it sounds...Idk how familiar you are with the Yamaha's but they don't like to run right wen your oil tank is like less then half full...I actually blew up my 1200 becasue it had oil stavation and it still had a half tank of oil...Btw no lines were kinked.

Strange, but yeah, check the oil and spark plugs...

If you had a problem with the motor internals, it would have already seized up on you...
