A few weeks ago I rode and everything felt great. I took a 2 week break and when I came back the ski just felt like it had lost some mojo. It still had some kick but it wasn't as instant as usual and it really seemed like I was having to use more throttle than usual as well. During that 2 week break the water temperature went from about mid 80's to mid 90's. Water temp is now 96.
The engine is a 61x/61x with FP and total loss. I run dual cooling in the redundant style where both lines enter in the exhaust manifold. The engine and pipe are hot to the touch but they don't sizzle water. Initially the engine felt normal but it seemed to get weaker after a few minutes. To see if the pipe was potentially too hot, I backed off the top pipe screw a quarter turn and it seemed to help a good bit but that just doesn't make sense to me.
Any other ideas of what could've caused that loss of power? Making the pipe cooler when it wasn't sizzling just seems like it would have the opposite effect on power.
