Hi everyone, I am a new member. Last weekend my machine brokedown on the lake due to a failed battery . I have changed the battery starts fine now but when I did a test run yesterday it sounds like it is bogging and won't go above 10mph. The front end seems heavy too. Have I flooded the engine compartment and is there anything I can do before I take it to a mechanic?

Thanks
Scott

when you say flooded, is it flooded with water and how much is in the engine compartment?

It sounds odd when I put it in the water last night. It doesn't rev up the same , seems sluggish. Don't know how to explain it but when I gave it gas the front end dropped a couple inches into the water for a few seconds. I had both seats off and there is no water lying in there. But the machine seems heavier than usual.

What was it? Share it with others so if they have the same problem they know what it was.

It was a combination. The battery was shot and a new spark plug was shot. I replaced the plugs and got a new battery. I still have to take it out and see if the battery will charge or if I have some more work ahead of me on this one.
