jetski issues
Thursday, June 07, 2007 5:25 PM
I don't know if anyone has much experience with 2 stroke motors or not on here. I have a 2000 polaris slx triple. this year its been running like a bat outta hell after having the carbs rebuilt last season. the last 2 times ive been out its been dying on the water, not stalling completely just when the impeller gets out of the water it sometimes bogs real bad. if im running WOT or close to it it doesnt happen. it also doesn't happen all the time and seems to get better as the day goes on. i think its a fuel delievery problem. i've never worked on it though myself. any ideas?

id check hoses. usually dying at WOT is a vacuum or other hose issue.

if not then id go with your fuel delivery idea



My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

its not dying at WOT it runs fine, its when the impeller is out of the water it stutters and i have to throttle on and off and it picks right back up

maybe you need a top-end rebuild. or, if your engine has exhaust power valves, they could be stuck open, which would kill your low-end power.




so, either way, you probably need the engine redone if it has never been done yet
