My SXI did the same thing when I brought it down from MI. I ran fine there, ran like poop here, I had to really jack with my carb settings to get it running right. I've determined it's the ethanol in the fuel here thats causing it.

From what I was told the othere day, not all fuel stations have ethanol in their gas, so if you were running from a place that didnt, but now does, that could be the problem.

Yes Sir, it cranks as before; however, I still can not open up the throttle without it shutting down immediately. And I still love you, but the neighbors are probably hating both of us after last night…that back courtyard lit itself up like Ft. Knox with only one spot light going (lol), so money well paid to you! “Let there be LIGHT!”

have the next person who looks at it pull the carb and go thru it.if there is water in the pump side of the carb it can act like that.water in the gas could also cause these symptoms,again if thats the case then the carb needs to be gone through
 
I hadn’t ridden it in months, but took it to the lake over the weekend and decided to put it in since I had guests (it had been ridden and cranked by others the past few months, so all was well I was told; therefore it’s a new problem). It ran fine for 15 minutes while simply riding it around jumping a few boat’s wakes, then it began to act up. It cranked, it ran at a low idle, but when I opened up on the throttle, it died INSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY. What could be wrong??? I have to get all the skis up to Nick, but I simply haven’t had time and am curious about this in the interim. (Nick, if you read this, I need your number again…new phone down here.)

Nick, I’ll give you a shout soon after I get back into town. Please let Tona Bill know I look to get that trailer I purchased from him to you, so I can convert it to a double (it’s somewhere here in Orlando, and I tried reaching him a few times a while back, plus the sj cover, and a big hello to him please). Things have simply been hectic down here with preparing for an extreme makeover on the house is the only reason for delay. I may have a serious “demolition party” soon, if you’re interested…I know guys like that kind of stuff, and I’m gutting it basically!

Fox, thanks for all the help…you’ve been a knight in shining armor! These fountain lights aren’t shutting off for some reason and the mosquito granules didn't disolve (and I've decided to leave it running to keep them away), so if you are out in this area while I’m gone, please check it out for me, and I’ll catch up with you b4 you leave for Maine! (and I forgot to mention I made quite a few international calls on your phone!!!)

I was wondering what number you had called from the other day........good thing we only talked for a couple of hours! LOL......sorry Fox but I have the gift of gab.......Q keeps telling me that I should breath in between sentences.....I am working on it lil lady!:lmao:

LOL…Oh my gosh! Lady, :no:…you must have misinterpreted something you have read somewhere to put those two names 2gether (I’m dying laughing though, so that’s good, or I've simply missed it...:salook:...I'll sign back on later 2nite if I have time.)


Tell Mario he is a dear, and that I will appreciate it when he gets time. Just let him know he may not want to touch it, since it seems to be a beast for everyone to figure out thus far. Do give me a shout if you intend to fly down though (and yes, lol, breath next time pleasel).:phone::tapedshut:
 
Suzi not sure what all they have checked/done but it sounds like you have water in your fuel filter. When you pull the throttle it sucks the water out of the fuel filter killing the ski.

Thanks Kevin (I sure hope I have that correct...I do recall whom it is you are though of course)! Very kind of you, and I greatly appreciate it.

Yep you got it right :)

Good to know I'm finally starting to get names correct on your beautiful coast. Speaking of which, I sure hope you don't live in Northern Oregon...I've been following that storm for a few days now, and it looks to be getting pretty wicked. I'll have to hop back over to your threads soon to see what's been happening, but I still don't have many of the pics edited. The junkies know this thread is over here, so I'm sure they see it, and I've been relaying others info to them as well, so thanks again (just didn't wish for you to think I was omitting your info if you went to that link). :wavey:
