capsized sea doo (rxt)

[shaswil]

I just bought a sea doo (rxt) and someone turned it over in the water. It started right back up but now when I try to full throttle it, the machine hesitates. It still goes up to full speed though. I'm not a mechanic and don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Is the gas cap loose? maybe you got some water in the fuel tank. Check and make sure you dont have water in the motor sucked in through the carbs. Was the motor running when it was upside down? Disconnect the battery that may reboot the computer. Not sue though. I havent worked on new skis for a while

Re: capsized sea doo (rxt)

rule no 1 never let people ride your ski unless you have a lot of money to spend fixing the things they break.. you may have water in your supercharger, and it may have damaged your clutch discs,, run the engine on the hose for about 3-5 minutes hopefully that will clear any water that may have entered the supercharger when the engine was rolled, however you may need to bring it to a dealer for a diagnostic check, and I would not mention that it was rolled, I would just tell them it isn't running like it should. as they will cover the supercharger under warranty but not cover water damage from abuse, and those superchargers are constantly going bad.
