so i finished my chop.
put the ski all back together and test rode it yesterday. ran perfect.
so today, i went out to visit some family on the water, so riding from the boat ramp to the boat ( 30 mins ride) it was fine. normal. no probs.
on the 2nd time, i went out, wanting to test the skis cornering performance. so im able to do U turns, at near wot. This ski is the bomb, i feel like jeff jacobs on this thing.
so yes the boat would have taken on some water, as the hood breather holes would have hit the water, thus forcing water into the hood and engine bay.
Now this is where is all goes wrong. im heading back to base, when the ski starts to bog only on WOT, back it off to 80% and it ran fine. So from 0-80% throttle the skis fine, bogs and gurgles at WOT.
So I turn it off, swim to the side of the river. pulled the plugs, ( forget how they looked) i decided to turn it over and then put new plugs in.
I try to start it, and nothing, my uncle comes over on the dingy so tow me back.
SO one last try, no throttle, just the button and she starts but instanly the the entire throtle range is bogging down till it dies out seconds after.
now i didnt put the water catcher back on as stock. instead of having the breather tube going up the pole i just had it pointing downwards ( LOGIC: in the surf if i lost it, when it tips up side down, the pole wont be submerged and thus the water catcher would not such water- this happened last time-i lost the ski and a wave fliped it. upside down, running then erggghhhh..dead. then your done for..so i set it up for this but didnt think about corning hard with possiliy to much water inside.
so back at the boat, i realised that i had turned the reserve fuel switch on as i was coming home ie switching the pump to the BOTTOM of the tank WHERE THE WATER WOULD BE RIGHT?
so back at boat, got it up outa the water, i switched the fuel back to normal setting ( sucking not from bottom), new plugs, cleaned out/turned over cylinders and sprayed ether into it. IT started and i was able to running it, what seemed normally.since it was on land, i just ran it for 7 secs. but it sounded good.
i didnt feel tho it was fixed, so i didnt ride it, getting home now, i thought id see if i could flush it.
so i stared it up. started up fine after using the choke.
i then ran it on the hose for a minute.
then i thought, hmm, maybe ill try running it on reserve, ie to test if there was any water in the tank. so i run it for 1 and a half minutes and then again, it bogged, very slowly, bogged out over 5-8 seconds.
but yeah, pulled the tank, couldnt find any water, doesnt mean it wasnt the problem tho, just means i couldnt locate it.
why would a ski bog at wot for 1 minute. then with new plugs, start and then bogg down at all throttle ranges??
