More of both. Every time it dies, I have to turn on the choke in order to fire it up again (Literally every time). My guess is the carburetors is flooding, it must be getting too much gas or something is stuck inside and is letting in too much gas.

I highly doubt that will happen. Before I took it back to the shop yesterday, I figured that the SXR is running rich since the spark plugs is pitch black and prob why it keeps bogging down and shutting down. I will just let them re-tune it rather doing it myself in the 100+ degree heat.

I flushed out the fuel and cleaned out the carburetor and the SXR is still doing the same thing. I am completely out of ideas and found that the spark plug's tip is pitch black. That tells me that it is running rich and how is that even possible because nobody has been messing with the...

Here the link to a thread about hood mod. One of the best cheap mods I have done on my SXR. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/37894-SXR-Hood-Mods&highlight=sxr+hood+mods

Didn't means to double post guys..... I am still having a situation, I tried to take my SXR out today and it keeps shutting down. After it shuts down, I can't get it to turns over unless I turn on the choke every time. It only shut down when it is supposed to stay running on idle. It even...

Nobody have not come up me about my jet ski yet but a lot were staring at my SXR :mischievous: :lmao: seriously can't stop laughing.......

Sweet Hull Dude!!! Can't wait to see the final result:You_Rock_Emoticon:

:bigok: That could be the reason cuz the battery was sunk. It prob had enough juice to crank the starter alone without the spark plugs.

Just got a call from the shop, they said the battery was completely dead. WTF? My jet ski is good to go and I am going to pick it up today and they are not going to charge me. I am still unsure about this.

I got the paper about it, they fixed the hydro-locked motor and put in new spark plugs. I didn't do the actual compression test but I can tell the cylinders are functionally fine. The SXR is already at the shop, the electrical box was my guess too. It tried to spin for a second and then...

I took my 11' SXR to the shop for repair today and I want to make sure my theory is correct. Nearly three weeks ago, the hood flew off and knocked me off the ski because the latch came loose. My SXR started sinking from the rough waves splashing into the open hull and hydro-locked the motor. I...

I got more than 3.5 hours from cruising around my lake without doing any stunts or whatnot. Whaaa? :poke: The more power any motor can make, the more gas it will suck in. The factory pipe is supposed to give your jet more power, so it will suck in more gas for more power.

My gas tank average is about 2.5 hours. My best was more than 3.5 hours, it depends on how gas-friendly your finger is. :shrug:
