| Jul 18, 2016 at 15:45 | comment | added | Calvin | @Lynn Thats what the "Flush Kit" is for ( atleast thats what I think there called ). I can plug my garden hose right into the flush kit to supply water to cool the engine. | |
| Jul 18, 2016 at 15:45 | comment | added | Arturs Bolsunovskis | I doubt about a misfire. Normally misfire appears at lower revs, and on higher revs it works better. Is it on constant revs or on acceleration? Can you please make a video or sound record somehow? | |
| Jul 18, 2016 at 15:26 | comment | added | Lynn Crumbling | Those jet engines use water to cool themselves. I'd check with a shop to see just how high (in rpm's) you can run those things when they're dry. I never dared run my jet ski for more than 10 seconds, with only a few quick bursts over 3k. | |
