Ok I'm a new member but have been reading the forums. I decided after reading the positives and negatives to buy a 2001 gp1200R with 21 hours on it. I checked it out and was in mint condition garage heated and all. I used it for about 7 hours checking it periodically and it was great until
At the end of the third day it just quit while riding at full speed. I did all the checks change plugs, siphoned fuel, charged battery and really could not believe this was not the problem. I finally checked the compression knowing that could not be the problem but to my suprise and disbelief I had no compression on #3. It's almost impossible to feel the oil line going to that #3 carb but it seems intact?
So my question is I paid what I considered top dollar for a mint machine and I want an expert Yamaha mech to give me my options ie: is it just the piston and rings and I realize you always don't get the best service from an authorized dealer. So can anyone tell me where I can take my jet ski that knows these engines and treat me fairly and honestly. I live in Bowling Green KY about an hour north of Nashville, TN but would be willing to drive 8 hours for the right mechanic. I have owned boats before but this is my first purchase of a PWC and need your help in getting this problem fixed and I really do appreciate all the opinions on this forum
