Thought I lost the Clutch Sunday???

[1 FAST VE]

Last post, for the next few hours.

I was playing around and doing some dumb ass tricks, (standing on the side of the boat backwards doing circles and the boat sputtered)
I got on correctly and opened up a little to clear it out and it almost died. I rode it easily back and forth. Opened it up and it would only go 5000rpm's. I kept trying and it got to 7500.
After a few minuets, it got back to 8000.
It felt as though the SC clutch gave out, and came back??

Any ideas???

That was your TOPS sensor coming into play.

Does it take it a little time to clear up?

Do I need to do anything if it happens again, such as turn off and let the oil drain back down??

When it used to happen to me i would just sit and idle for about 15 seconds or so then take off slowly.
