Posted this in the Polaris forum, but no takers so far. Any ideas?
"So this morning, I fire up my ski in the driveway. Works fine. Get to the ramp, put in, tie up, move my trailer, come back, fire it up in the water--starts and idles until I hit the gas and then it stops completely. Try again--same thing.
Load up, head to the shop.
Three new plugs, Mechanic fires it up--no problem.
Back to lake--repeat first paragraph. Back to Mechanic.
Mechanic fires it up. Works great.
Back to lake. Repeat first paragraph. So it runs out of the water just fine, but once it's in the water, it cuts off as soon as you open the throttle.
Back to shop. Fires up, but it's a little slow to turn over. He's taking it out for a lake test because he can't believe it doesn't run in the water.
Am I a total idiot? Any ideas on the problem?
