SXR Bogging off idle

[tnerb]

Anyone think this would cause my 2008 to idle fine but bogg down as soon as you apply any throttle?

Both the fittings where the plug wires enter the ebox were broken, not sure how that happened but it appears that this is the result. I am going to replace the coil and starter solenoid, one of the connectors on the coil wires is black, looks like that need to be changed too.

I will post if this solves my problems.

If it starts up do not change the starter selonoid. The selonoid allows the ski to start. That sounds like an un-warranted replacement. It may be the coil though. replace one component at a time. start with the coil.

Sounds like a stuck needle and seat.

Check the white plug in the line going from the start stop switch to the electrical box. Mine did the same thing, and the box had corrosion in it, but it was that plug that caused the problem.

Thanks for the replies, I rebuilt the carbs, thinking it was a fuel problem, but it was still doing it. I checked the pop-off and it works fine, don't remember the pressure but it was close to specs in the manual. I got the parts a couple of days ago and I hope to get it back together today. The start stop switch plug looks clean, no corrosion there. The starter solenoid looks pretty bad so I thought I would replace it while I had it opened up. I will have a spare that I can cleanup and use later if needed.

So the coil was no good, ski runs great now! Glad it wasn't the igniter, that sucker is $450.

Time to hit the water.
