2002 virage i high rpm problem

[shur-katch]

I just had a dealer put in a new stb motor in my ski and when out of the water i can get 7000 rpm but when riding it I only get 5970 and it sputters some what not alot it travels at about 42mph. I took it back to a diferent dealer to hook up to the computer and they said the water hoses were on backwardsso they fixed it and said in the test tank it gets 6880rpm but i still have same problem thanks ed

Which water hoses were on backwards?

Why was the SBT engine installed?
What was wrong with the original engine?

At any time, before or after the repairs, have you had the red lamp or any warning messages appear on the display?

Did either repair shop report any EMM service codes?

Are you interested in doing your own diagnostics?

Have you seen this web page?
Polaris Ficht Fuel Injected Engines

Was the EMM computer module ever sent to DFI Technologies for checking and repair?

That was the suggestion from your previous thread;
idel and rpm problem 02 virage i 800

...pull the ecu and covers and look for some outgassed areas under the gel, you may see a small melt down around the defective bit

Did you check the EMM for signs of internal damage?

he set the computer back to normal and ran it in a test tank and he could get 6880 rpm

If the EMM was running without water cooling, that can cook the EMM, and it may or may not show trouble codes after the water cooling is fixed and the original codes are cleared.

A cooked EMM can have internal damage, but not show any codes (other than the original high EMM temp code).

You can send the EMM to DFI, who can check it for operational problems.

If there is another EMM available that can be installed for a test, that is another way to determine if your EMM has a problem.

If you remove the EMM, and remove the top and bottom plastic covers, you can look for burned spots (which is not a good thing) under the gel.

Old gasoline can be a problem. Since you don't know how bad it is, I suggest you drain/siphon the old fuel out, and put premium octane fuel in (I run 91 octane in my own). That may or may not help, but it will remove a variable from the equation.

While you have the tank empty, remove the filler hose and look into the tank. The tank should be clean inside, with no gunk, dirt or water in there.
