when breaking in ski , it seemed to pull real hard , when first tank of gas (oil added) got low the ski started to sputter and bog. switched to reserve, same thing. put more fuel in and it still sputtered, cleared out after a few seconds but it doesn't pull like it did and it will bog when floored from a start. when it hits a wake the rev limiter drops the rpm's down to low six's and it feels like i threw out an anchor. speedo will usually only hit 63 mph where before it would hit 67 - 68 . got beat by a sea-doo xp which was stock! when tank got low on fuel it would start pulling better and hit 66 - 67. please , any info. would help. still under warrenty but one dealer said there was nothing wrong. my old sea doo is more fun right now. p.s. does anyone know a good dealer service center in new england. thanks

Paul, Im in Ct and would be more than happy to glance at it. If ya really want a good fix and plan on some mods I recently witnessed a freind who had Carl at IR do his 02 and its very impressive. Shoot me a private message and Ill fill ya in.

Sounds like a normal stock GPR, after you got use to the initial power. They are slower and perform sluggish on a full tank of fuel but tend to come alive when the tank starts to get low. Stock, they always hit the rev limiter and close the power valves (landing with the brakes on) killing the power till the power valves open back up.
The easyest solution is to get a PROTEC power valve controller from Carl at PROTEC.

paul,
depending on what part of mass your in , you should not be too far from me , im in southern newhampshire (manchester) and id be more than happy to take a look at it for you . thanks dana

Paul it sounds like you broke a power valve,Your boat is acting just like mine(02 gp12000r) did when the screw broke off on the rear cylinder power valve. I replaced the parts that were needed and it came alive again.

Paul if your in MA then I suggest calling Dana at Jettrix Performance in Southern NH. What part of MA are you in? I'm always looking for people to ride with. I agree with AdrenJunky on what the problem is but I personally would skip the pro tec pv controller and go straight to the advent ignition.

i am in randolph (about 20 min. south of boston). usually ride on long pond in lakeville, herring pond in plymouth and my friend owns a house on monponsett in halifax. always looking for people to ride with. thanks for the info. .

Check Cat.Con...you might need D-plate and chip

Matt---your buddies ski ran good in Ct too? Must not be the LI water Let me know when your ready to do some work on your bad boy!
Paul,try the the simple things first. change spark plugs. might be something as simple as that.If you want,get in touch and i could shoot a couple of more ideas by you.

Carl, I will be in touch shortly thats for sure. Ya my buddys boat seemed real strong in CT on the river. Nice work! Looking forward to dealing with ya.

Just savin my yen!
