Just bought a '95 zxi 900 a couple of weeks ago. This is the first ski Ive ever owned. It has plenty enough power but Im having a couple of problems.
First, it's porpoising way too much. I was following my wife's uncle in his boat on Summersville Lake (in WVa) and I couldnt keep up. He said he was only running about 40mph. I was bouncing around so much that I had to slow down to about 20mph. All the other skis out there were just cutting through all the chop. What do I need to lower the chances of porpoising?
Second, it seems to be loading up. After coming through the no wake zone, it loads up so bad that it takes me about 45 seconds to get on plane. It smokes more than usual when this happens too. Should I just take it to the dealer and have him try to tune the carbs or is there something I can do myself? Im mechanically inclined to do it, just never messed with skis before.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for any comments or suggestions.
