Buddy has a 03 rx1 at it seems to be running on only a few cylinders....can not get it over 70 to 80 k....we had it on its side for awhile tonight to change skis and since then , once we started it, it runs like crap...we changed the plugs but it did nothing.....tried to post on RX1 forum but had to register and wait for reply back....help pleaseeeeeeee..any suggestions?? Thanks Diceman...help Damon...

she's probably flooded,never had the chance to wrench on one,hell

pull all plugs out spin it over,check for comp,spark,fuel...etc..

You make me laugh..like you are always here..lol...also when you give it gas it will just quit....does that help...lol..
 
I wonder if there is oil from the crank in the cylinders from being on its side?

that is one nice thing about 2 strokes, that is not an issue.

I recall when 4 stroke pwc's came on the market, and there were very strict procedures to follow when uprighting an overturned 4stroke pwc. the 2 stroke pwc never had that issue. I don't see why the same would not apply here
 
thats why i told him to pull plugs and spin her over,place to start...

did it run good before the tip over

Hey..that makes sense..the two plugs on the side that we tipped the machine on are the ones that are really dark, the two on the right are white...so what is the solution??? Diceman

remeber I am not very bright..we took each plug out ( one at a time ) and checked for spark which there was......do you mean pull all the plugs out and turn it over ???

we also put new plugs in...how much gas do we put down the cylinders??Do we put gas down each one??Why are we doing this??remember, we are from Canada..lol
 
yea plull the plugs out(all them)and spin her over with the starter for a few
seconds,if there's any gas/oil,should help to clear it out..

then dribble a few oz's of gas in each cyl.then put plugs bacj in and try it..

No smoke out of mufflers....we pulled the plugs all out and turned her over for abit....other than smelling gas,, nothing else to speak of....when you turn it over with the plugs out, should some oil come up from cylinders if oil is in them..no laughing guys..lol..Diceman
 
Oil Can't Stay There Forever
Do As Daman Said.put Fresh Plugs In In Case You Have Fouled 1 Or More.it Has To Clear Once It Is Running.get Up On A Stand And Rev It 10,000 Or So.but Stand Back!!!! Ouch.

Thanks for the help...well we did everything you guys said and nothing has changed....whenever we try to give it throttle , it will stall unles we do it slowly....tried new plugs but has made no diffrence.....we were out earlier on it and went about 10 k with it acting that way...could not get the sled over 70 k.....would you need to go on a good , long rip to really clean her out if that is the problem??
