OK, I looked at it again today. My observations are as follows.
Seems to start better when cold.
Throttle must be tight against the neutral stop.
When running at low speed the RPS will vary quite a bit.
Big one: compression is 50psi in one cylinder and 70 psi in the other!
I assume we are...
J15RLENM. I don't have compression numbers at this time...seems to be pretty good just based on the effort to pull the starter rope, but I know that is very subjective. I'll have to look at the choke. I know it closes, but I never looked to see that it stayed closed. Yes, throttle is in the...
A friend asked me to look at this motor. It hadn't been run in several years. I removed the carb and "cooked it out". Put it bac on and replaced a broken linkage part. It runs great once I can get it started, but it is VERY hard starting either cold or hot. Plugs look good and gas is new...
Recently the voltage readings have been varying quite a bit. Sometimes about normal (14vdc) and other times 16 to 18 vdc and then other times about 12vdc. Thinking voltage regulator, but looking for someone with experience that can confirm my suspicions or give me other ideas of what could be...
Late last year my impeller died and I overheated the motor. I was close to home and stupidly assumed it was getting some cooling. Anyway, now I have found signs of water in the lower cylinder. I have not yet pulled the head, but wondered if anyone would be able to tell me how I can check for...
My waverunner is running on 2 cylinders. The non-firing cylinder is getting spark and has good compression. Leads me to believe that the problem is in the fuel delivery system.
I have no mechanical experience with these machines. Any suggestions on where to begin looking for the problem...
