Re: 2010 Wake Pro Ski needs hull work
Bill,
Got a lot of info today to tell you about. I changed the oil n filter again today. I really hope that change of oil keeps the oil clean.
I drained the fuel from the ski today and man it looked and smelled terrible. It looked like fuel you would purchase in the 1970's to mow yards meaning it looked like a golden motor oil color not a clear color like today's gasoline at the pumps. No wonder it is tripping the knock sensor. It smelled old very old. My buddy purchased the ski from said he filled the ski up 1 time before crashing it. He had filled it up with fuel on the water at a local marina. He had actually had it 2 weeks then crashed it. I will refill the fuel with new fuel and add 1oz of sea foam per gallon as directions said unless you think differently??
The Sea Doo mechanic also has the ability to wipe the codes clean at a nominal fee on the ski which I was very happy to hear. He had me check the supercharger since the ski wouldn't hardly go past 50 mph. He also wants me to change the spark plugs. When I initially pulled the plugs to look at them they were gaped like 45 thousands just looking at them they also had like a black powder color I thought they looked like they were running very rich. I reduced the gap to around 28 thousands and when I pulled them today they looked normal but I am going to change them he thinks one might be missing as I do as-well. I want to know what type plug and gap do you recommend for that engine????? or should I use the ngk plug that came in it ( I got the type written down in shed off old plug)??
I went to see the Sea Doo mechanic today. He was very nice and I was very lucky to get to talk to him today for like 20 minutes. He had me check the turbo to make sure it wasn't spinning freely by hand since the ski had filled up with water and top speed of like 50mph was all I could get out of it. If the supercharger had been free spinning he let me know that it would have to be rebuilt and the engine cleaned out and man that was expensive. I was so thankful that the supercharger didn't get damaged when the ski filled up with water.
He also confirmed that he didn't think the ski would run if the TOPS sending unit was bad. I also checked the engine temp sending units today. The one on the water box checked well like 2200 ohms. The one on the engine checked around 4,250 ohms I will order one of them today and change it.
I am hoping the temp sending unit and new fuel will keep the check engine light from tripping. If it does I will then go and have the Sea Doo mechanic clear all codes. He thought that would be best to try and stop the check engine light from tripping then clear codes since we know what the codes are and for.
I am in no way a Sea Doo expert.
I really appreciate your help!!
