first ride, had some problems...

so i took my ski to FL after i got it dialed in here in KY. it ran great for a day and a half then started acting up. It was cutting out for a few minutes and then i think it was running on one cylinder for a few seconds. So i turned it off and it hasnt ran since... had to carry it about 200 yards across the beach

So i finally get some time to look at it today. did a compression test and now one cylinder is @ 134 and the other one seems to be around 120. (they were both at 162 before i left). It doesnt snap right up to those numbers either. it gradually builds to it. The ski will sorta fire a little when i prime it enough, but it wont run at all. when i took the plugs out they were almost rusty looking and felt like they were wet? What the hell happened? It was running perfect in freshwater...

Oh and i put a crack in my handlepole on the trip home because it wasnt secured well enough..

so i guess i burned up the rings... thats what i get for pretending to be a mechanic... cant believe it did that so easy though. rebuilding the top end is going to be at least $200 for parts right?
