I have an 1100 zxi that is giving me a fit. Little hard to start from a cold start, have to choke a little, play with the trottle a little, but once it get going, it fine. You can kill the engine at it will start right back up.
NOW here's the problem.
After being on the water and riding for a little while, say 30 minutes. And we dock somewhere for say 10 minutes and kill the engine. It does not want to start back up. You have to crank and choke and crank and choke and after about 10 minutes of cranking off and on, it will finally start. But when it finally does kick over, any gas you give it will kill it. So when it does kick over, I have to let it idle for a minute, then feather the throttle for about 20 seconds before it will take off like nothing was ever wrong.
One friend suggested vapor lock, another weak fuel pump. But as I said, it only give me real problems out on the water after it's been running for a little while and then sits for 10 minutes or so. Can someone help me diagnose the problem?
