Question

I have a Honda Aquatrax F12, 2004 model. I did not carnk it at all last year and took it out for the forst time this weekend. It is idling rough and it usually will go about 55 mph top speed. Today it would only get to 34 mph, max. Someone told me it sounds like a cylinder is not firing. Does this sound right and are we talking needing new spark plugs or big fuel injector problems, etc? ANy thoughts? Thanks.

All the new fourstroke skis are pretty sensitive to fuel and fuel delivery. First did you Really Treat the fuel before storing it last year, good fuel shelf life is like a month tops without additive. Second have you checked the fuel filter up by the fuel tank, I am also sending youa .pdf file of a parts list for your ski, see if locating it with this will help

Reply to Jeremy's Post: I did not treat the fuel last year and today I put about 3/4 of a tank of new gas to fill it up and put the chevron with Techron fuel system cleaner in it. The spoark plugs are Iridium coate and suppsoed to be long lasting. The ski has about 55 total hours on it. Is it possible it is something simple like plugs?
