94 XP - Shutting off????

[gcardoza]

Hey everyone,

My girlfriend has a '94 XP and we had a problem at the end of the season so we figured we'd get to it this year.

Anyways, we replaced the battery, fuel filter, spark plugs to get it running and we're having the same problem.

After a few minutes of running around the lake, the machine just turns off and will not re-start. If it ends up re-starting, as soon as you go to give it throttle, it shuts off again. When towed back in and taken out of the water, the machine starts up no problems and you can rev the engine up without a problem....


Anyone have any ideas???

Most likely you need to go through your carbs...

I agree, carbs. or carb . When was the last time the carbs were pulled and cleaned/rebuilt? If recent, then I would look at the fuel selector next, try putting it on reserve if it has one, if this takes care of it, your selector is probably plugged up with hose gunk or whatever, keep us updated...BigT
