Help on this problem

[Brenden]

I was out Riding inthe jersey surf this past weekend and was only out for about 20 minutes or so and my STOCKsuperjet was sorta bogging down and shutting off. So i would start it back up and ride for not even 5 minutes and it would do the same. We tried starting it up once i made it to an island and it would start up but then when u tried to keep it running it would just shut off...Im definitly going to need to get a new battery for sure and we were also thinking it was the gap in the spark plugs.

If it's stock you probably got some water in the engine. You need to try to get it running and go hit some freshwater ASAP. Will it run on the trailer? Water in the gas is also a possibility. Change the plugs and try to get it running. If the plugs have white liquid on them, you definetely have water in there.

also check your one way valve on the gas tank.. but it could be many things

When I empty my tank I used a siphon like you can buy at lowes or home depot for transferring kerosene. Take the cap off the top of the tank where all your hoses run. It just takes a couple minutes.

also when your working on it once the water is out of the tank, just keep trying new plugs or cleaning off the others till you get it running real good, once water is on the plugs they wont want to spark, keep doing that for probably max 5 times and it should be good if water is your only problem.

I'm sorry but that doesn't make any sense. Please start by checking the plugs and either posting pic or telling us what they look like. Any white liquid present? It's an 04 right? The only grease fitting is for the midshaft bearing and that shouldn't be seizing up yet on such a new ski. Was there a lot of water slohing around inside the hull when you took the hood off? Give us some more to work with.

The ski is fine now, it runs and fires right up...all that happend was i got water in the engine compartment and then jumped waves...considering i have nothing to get it out i got bounced around and water was ingested
but everything is KOOL Now

Get one or two bilge pumps installed asap, and keep them running while your on the ski.

You do not want water in your bilge while jumping.
