I have a 95 Sport Jet 90 with WOT power problems. I originally thought it was a bad fuel pump. I checked the compression today and found 100 PSI on #1 and #3, but around 50PSI on #2. I am assuming this is a burned piston since the only way I could start cold was with staring fluid (wished I read the forums) Is there a possibility of something else like a head gasket? Is it possible that the boat could still run on plane with the possibility that the compression is the same as when it was running good? Should I even rebuild the fuel pump and try it or would that be a waste of time?
Let's assume I need a new piston / rings. Will I have to remove the motor from the boat (95 Baja blast)? Does anyone know where I can get pistons / rings or a whole re-ring or rebuild kit?
Any advice I can get is greatly appreciated. I have had the boat for about a month and have had around a day and a half's enjoyment out of it. My kids are really looking forward to using the boat again soon.
I can and will do the work myself. I doubt if there is anyone near me that even works on boats like this.
