2001 GTI (720) Stalling/Low Power
I just bought a 2001 GTI w/ the 720 motor.. took it out today for the first time, ran it for maybe 10 minutes maybe a little less.. it ran great until it got warmed up, the engine lost power, and stalled out... I tried to restart it, it didn't want to restart at first, I held the choke out ect.. finally got it to restart, it would only idle, I was able to bring the rpm's up slightly, but if I tried to accelerate, it would stumble, and stalled, I restarted it and idled it back in, I also tried the fuel setting in the reserve postion, as it felt like I was not getting enough fuel.. I cleaned the filter the other day, it was dirty, and ran it for a good period of time on the trailer ect with not problem. I pulled the plugs, they looked fine. The ski only has 15 hours on it, but supposedly the motor was replaced due to poor winterizing..
One other thing, it took a bit of cranking to get it to start in the water. I would probably say more then 10 seconds (was using the choke as well), my 2002 GTI started pretty quick.
Any Ideas where to start?
Thanks,
-=Rick

Its kinna like this....
Its a 2001 & it only has 15 hours....
Remove carb,clean/rebuild & replace ALL fuel lines,they are know to deterioate internally & thats whats clogging the small filters in the carb.
Do it half ass & you will probally end up buying a new motor...your choice.
If you had a fuel problem with your vette would you only fix half the problem,probally not unless you want to walk.

Talked to my dealer about 2 weeks ago. He said they’re hoping to have them...
Anyone still waiting on 2022...
