My '95 Polaris SL750 is having problems running. It will start and run
fine, with full power and then just die or sputter out after about 30
seconds to 3 minutes. It will then be hard to start (10 to 15 tries) but
will start, idle poorly for about 15 seconds, improve for a bit and then
just die again. Fuel filter is clean, plugs are dry and slightly beige-
grey, new-gas, lots of oil.
I added some gas stabilizer/cleaner a week ago with no improvement and
took the airbox off a ran some carb cleaner through it this past weekend
with no improvement.
I did notice a small crack in the gas filler neck on the outside just
under the cap this past weekend but I religiously check the fuel/water
separator for contamination but there never seems to be more than a few
drops of water in it.
It has been doing this since I picked it up from my local marine dealer
in June who stores it for me over the winter. It ran fine on his hose he
said but has gotten progressivly worse in the last 3 weeks.
It's at the dealers shop right now and I don't want him to just start
throwing parts at it to see if that will resolve the problem. He's a
Yamaha dealer BTW so I can't expect him to be totally up on the Polaris
but they didn't make them that complicated back in '95.
Any ideas what it might be? All input would be welcome. I need to keep
this PWC running for at least 2 more years. <wink>

Chris,
The gas filler neck needs to be replaced immediately. It was a known
problem and the new filler/cap combination is made out of much tougher
material. I'd be real surprised if you didn't have water in the fuel
from the split. Also make sure the fuel vent line is working (it allows
air to enter the tank so it doesn't create a vacuum). I doubt that is
it because the split would probably allow enough air in on its own. The
other possible problem is a broken seal between the fuel pickup tube and
the top assembly where the lines connect. It starts sucking air instead
of gas and can't get enough to run the ski at full throttle. The only
easy way to fix it is to run the ski on a separate fuel supply with
gravity feed to the fuel petcock. Also, the fuel petcocks have been
known to fail or at least become partially blocked. Polaris played
around with what they called an "auto-cock" that was vacuum operated and
shut off the fuel flow when the engine wasn't running but I think it was
gone by 95.

Could be air in the gas line since it seems to be hard to start after
running for a bit and sputters on the top. Plus you said there is a crack
in a line.

you guys forgot the most obvious answer -- fuel pump-- Those boats had a
dinky little fuel pump that was barely able to support a 650 motor, let alone
a 750. I'd bet a buk that its the oem pump and has never been rebuilt, and
even if it has, its still not enough. you have probably lean siezed a cyl. a
compression test will show that, so you are gonna have to rebuild the top end,
and while your at it, rebuild the fuel pump and get another one to boot and
hook em' both up, or just get a 780 fuel pump. Tom is right about checking the
other stuff, polaris did have problems in thosde years with the filler necks
and auto-cock (if it had it) and the rubber piece in the petcock can spin
around and shorten fuel supply, but most important is the extra pump volume

regrettably, it sounds as if you're seizing.
gummed carbs that weren't winterized will inadequately meter fuel,
causing a lean condition, and the dreaded squeak.
hopefully a carb clean and a new top end and off ou go....

nope, they tried (polaris) teeing them between carbs, but bottom line is, the
stock fuel pump just cant move enough
GPM to keep up with the motor.

JetskiMechanic.com sells a high-volume, 3-outlet
Mikuni fuel pump for US$40. That is what I used
on my SL750 to upgrade the fuel system. All you
need is a little extra fuel hose (cheap) and you
are good to go. Only took a few minutes of work.

I do not believe it really has a model number.
Click on "Parts Index" and then "Fuel Pumps".
It's called "MIKUNI HIGH VOLUME FUEL PUMP" for
$39.95 and says "70 liters per hour rated" in
the description. I think it is the only fuel
pump on that page, actually. The rest is just
other carb items for rebuilding and replacing.
Send them an email if you have any questions.
They are helpful and know what you will want,
as it is a common upgrade for the SL750s.

So what is the cheapest fix...... ( I really don't want to spend $450.00
cnd. on a new pump) Is there a after market pump I can use?
