Throttle and Choke Cable
Inspection
Throttle Cable
Depress and release the throttle lever.
It should operate smoothly and return
to its initial position without any hesi-
tation. Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo
dealer if necessary.
Carburetor-Equipped Models
Do not activate throttle lever unneces-
sarily, when engine is not running. Car-
buretors are equipped with fuel accel-
erator pumps. These pumps deliver
fuel to the engine each time throttle
lever is depressed.

Choke Cable
Ensure choke cable operates smoothly
and without any hesitation from fully
opened to fully closed. When the choke
lever is fully pulled, choke should be ful-
ly applied. Refer to an authorized Sea-
Doo dealer if necessary.
Carburetor Adjustment
Carburetor adjustment is very impor-
tant to allow good engine operation
and therefore watercraft performance.
Carburetor adjustment requires tech-
nical knowledge and experience to
have the correct mixture supplied to
the engine.
CAUTION:
Serious engine damage
can occur with improper carburetor
adjustment.
All Models
Fuel and Oil Filters
The fuel filter
(carburetor-equipped
models)
and the oil filter should be re-
placed by an authorized Sea-Doo deal-
er.
Fuel system pressurization
should
be conducted at the same time.
CAUTION:
An obstructed oil filter
will cause oil starvation resulting in
serious engine damage.
Steering Alignment
When the handlebar is directed in
straight ahead position, the jet pump
nozzle should be in the same direction
allowing the watercraft to run in a straight
line.
Refer to an authorized Sea-Doo dealer
if an adjustment is necessary.
WARNING
Do not alter or tamper with throttle
cable adjustment or routing.
WARNING
If throttle lever does not automat-
ically return, do not operate
water-
craft
and see your authorized Sea-
Doo dealer.
