Taking Care of the Unexpected
236
If the Intake or Propulsion System Is Clogged
If riding over water heavy with weeds is
unavoidable, vary throttle input to reduce the
chances of clogging the intake system.
If the intake/propulsion system is clogged by
weeds or other debris, you may experience
one or two problems. Reduced water jet
thrust may slow your water speed even as you
increase engine rpm with the throttle lever.
The reduction of water flow may also cause
the engine to overheat.
Before attempting to clean the intake/
propulsion system, always remove the lock
clip from the engine stop button/switch to
prevent accidental engine starting.
