98 kawasaki 1100 stx problems

[mr.cheech]

I purchased a 1998 kawasaki stx 1100 with a rebuilt motor.I took it out this labor day weekend and it ran great for the first 2 days. The third day I took it out it ran good for the first hour then I started noticing some problems.My jet ski started loosing some power.I would pull the throttle all the way down and it would only hit about 50 mph so I pulled it to the side and checked the plugs.I noticed the second cylinder spark plug the gap was pushed in so I regapped it.I ran it again and it seemed to loose more power and the speed odmeter was not working but the rpm gauge was working.The rpms are 1500 and it idles fine.I also checked the prop and nothing was stuck in there what could be the problem with this jet ski. Please Help
