1999 XL1200 dies after about 1-2 minutes
This is happening very consistently (4 times). Starts and idles fine. Full throttle for a minute or two and it completely shuts down. No alarms of any kind. When I try to restart it behaves as if the battery is dead. Then wait about a minute and it will slowly turn over, still as if the battery is extremely weak. However it does restart. I have been able to return to the dock at a slow speed.
Recently replaced:
· Regulator rectifier
· Battery
No impact to the situation. Looking for suggestions on next steps. Everything is stock. Replaced the CDI and impeller 2 years ago and was running fine after that. No other repairs to the best of my knowledge.

You need to check your compression. Sounds like you could have a cylinder seizing to me.

Agree with above. Also sounds to me that your piston/s are seizing. Do what they suggest you to do. Also try to do a leak down test. And while your doing the compression test, dont forget to inspect the sparkplugs.

Look in the bottom of the hull for oil. These engines are notorious for oil lines cracking or coming off causing the engine to seize up.

Thanks all for the responses. Took it to the shop. See the recommendations below.
Visually inspected jet pump=good
compression is bad at 95 mag, 105 mid, 20 pto //needs sbt short block motor
Estimate total is $4032. this includes new motor, rebuild carbs and oil lines. it had 208hrs on it.
I am thinking its time to upgrade.

that is too much to repair it... I would either learn how to repair it yourself or part it out. Good Luck
