1993 Waverunner III starts and idles like a champ. When you throttle up in/out of water it makes a duh,duh,duh sound and does not speed up past a fast idle. Also smokes very bad at speed up. Spark tester shows good spark, emptied fuel tank and cleaned, blew out all fuel lines, new fuel filter, soaked and cleaned carb and used a rebuild kit. Put new plugs and new gas and same thing happened. Any clues? Thanks in advance.:confused:

Check the compression. Are you sure you have the carbs adjusted correctly. Sounds like it may be super rich if the compression is good.

Yes, compression is good. Tried messing with high speed screw and still smoke and bogging.

Did you ever find out what was wrong with your waverunner?? I have the EXACT same boat with the EXACT same problem. BTW,,,,its NOT the compression or reeds. ....it would run rough through the rev range if they were the issues. I think its either the coilpack or the computer. Let me know how you did Thanks .
