I have a 760 in my lightweight x2 and i just cant seem to get it running right. At the end of last season it was not right. It sounded funny and the the water was not coming out of the pisser right and it ran like crap. I took the head off and one of the dome orings was broke. i did not have a new one so i glued the old one back together and the ski ran awesome for about a minute until the oring broke again. I got new ones and put them in but when I rode it it ran as if one was broke again but they are all good. I checked my reeds and they are good. What else can this possibly be? thanks

the dates are in my sig and the freeride forum has the other info. shawn is looking to pay someone to bring his and possibly ryans skis down so that they can fly due to school and work.

Try some different spark plug caps,I have seen many Yamaha plug caps go bad and cause the boat to run like crapola on a stick with mustard sauce.

sounds like a cracked cylinder, allowing for pressure to escape into the cooling jackets. have you tried a leak down test on the cylinders as well as the bottom end. if the porting thinned out the case enough it could have cracked internally.

run a search for it. but it works like this, you remove the exhaust system, and carb, then seal all points w/ some home made plates that will seal the engine.. 1 of the plates should have a nipple on it to pull a vacume w/ the purchased or built tester. you will check each cyl seperately, i didn't say my spelling was great!!!

head gasket or something in the pump water inlet , or dirt or sand in cooling lines
did you use any kind of sealant on the head?
its possible some of the glue used to "fix" the o-ring is stile in the o-ring groove. causing the same symptoms due to the domes not sealing correctly use silicone grease to seal the o-ring on your head/domes.
im no exspert but there is what i have to offer.
