I recently bought a 95 xp with the 717 motor.
First time i took it out out was great. The second time
the acceleration was very erratic, with bursts of full speed
then revs dying off then back to full speed.
I took it out today for the third time and it would not reach
anywhere near full speed, eventually limping in at wake speed
doing 4000 rpm.
Yes it has the original gray gas lines and it's not been converted to
pre-mix, however it the 4000 rpm at wake speed that confuses me.
Does that mean a jet pump issue or dirty carbs or both ?
Revs fine out of water.
Thanks !
