sxr-hood problems???
ok ski has a factory wetpipe and the air horns removed per instructions. its an 06 low hours, has siphon and rule bilge working. the hood hoses are cut shorter to accomodate the pipe.
on flat water runs fine all day, within 20 minutes in the small surf in daytona today it started limping on one cyl. its a friend of mine relaying all this about his sxr so I don't every little details and it is very possible I am missing something. We rode at dunedin causeway last sunday in 1-2' wind driven slop and on hard turns right I nearly did a sub and within a few seconds it started chuggin along like had ingested. cleaned up after a minute and was fine.
it doesn't have the front hole blocked and no hood mods have been done other than shortening the hoses.
is it loading up because of not enough air or is the water somehow being driven into the hood on right turns and falling down on the flame arrestor and getting sucked in?
something else?????? any ideas? anyone else have this type of crap happen? Do I need to open up the other rear intake, cut holes in the top of the hood like the Rius hoods what?? he is beyond frustrated and I can't do much way over here but guess at what is going on.
